Here’s a #CovidVaccine idea. NHS will have to send millions of text messages to patients across UK to advise them about vital vaccine appointments. Why doesn’t @VodafoneUK @O2 @EE @threeuk donate FREE Covid SMS messaging to the NHS so we can beat Covid together. RT if you agree

NHS England wants GPs to work “at scale” (i.e. in larger organisations such as PCNs). How strong is the evidence that larger primary care organisations provide higher-quality of care? Our study on diabetes care found only weak evidence of benefit. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…

Sit back and watch Corbyn's inner circle attack each other. Blame will fly everywhere.

As I was the coordinator for Vote Leave in Swindon, I am pleased that our MPs will be supporting this deal. It is a real Brexit and while there is compromise, it delivers on the Conservative and Labour manifestos. Thank you @RobertBuckland and @JustinTomlinson

Replying to @phoenixdoc
@phoenixdoc on @BBCRadio2 reaction saddened but not surprised by news of practice closures. Really needs GP practices within a pram push for patients.

GPs under great stress fuelling the retirement exodus. Debating on @BBCRadio2 with @jkaffash And @phoenixdoc. Will care at the point of need survive? Or is more about wants? Demand management critical @NHSEngland

The Conservative Manifesto promised to take us out of the EU, single market and Customs Union. Letting people down is not a good idea.

This actually made me cry. A human woman (who happens to be in charge) meeting another, who is desperately sad, and showing real feelings. We need more of those.

Can you imagine Theresa May behaving like the New Zealand Prime Minister? Of course not. It takes humanity, warmth and empathy to behave like this.
