Saw a sweet old lady in my waiting room this morning, who seemed to be there a while. “Hello, my dear, just checking you’re ok? Have we accidentally forgotten you? Or are we running late?” “Oh no, my love,” she replied, “I’m just here to keep warm.” #CostOfLivingCrisis #GP

1/4 A Day in General Practice (Thread) Today in my practice of 26.5k patients, we took 1021 calls (sometimes our staff were abused), we triaged 221 people wanting urgent appointments and saw 76 of them F2F. We also provided 272 routine appointments, did 36 home visits and 2 MDTs.

The NHS will not recover unless we build a culture of joy, care and kindness, fundamentally change the way we value people in our most disadvantaged communities, shift towards health creation, prevention, early detection & protection & invest massively in primary care.

1/5 This is a very misleading headline, showing a complete lack of understanding about how General Practice is financed. Very poor journalism. GPs were working 5 full days under pandemic guidance AND delivery weekend vaccine clinics (far more successfully than other providers).

Brilliant from @HelenStokesLam on @BBCr4today - The #NHS is on its knees due to toxic combination of: record underfunding since 2010, poor workforce recruitment, huge gaps in social care provision & pandemic backlog. Answer is NOT insurance-based system as widens inequalities.

Although levelling up is going to "cost more than expected", the cost of not doing so is stark. We will not level up unless we change the funding formula to properly reflect IMD and ethnicity. People dying earlier in the north and more children in poverty. Time for change!

@LawrenceDunhill Mortality rate for causes considered preventable for under 75s. Similar map for children in absolute poverty. Red is significantly below average, green significantly better.

I work with such an incredible #populationhealth team in @HealthierLSC - we know we play one part in a bigger & integrated public health reality, but we also take this really seriously. Today we’ve been applying a logic model to our work programme whilst having loads of fun!

On Fridays I try to get out & about. I want to listen deeply, to be uncomfortable & challenged, to understand what isn’t working & hear from people in our communities what needs to change. Morning with these champions! #povertytruth #youthtruth @Dusty18580426 & @JennyNatusch ❤️❤️

2/5 The 'rise in salary' is not hard to justify. It was given to pay our staff to help run the clinics, not line our pockets. GPs shifted to completely new & flexible ways of working, continuing to see patients face to face, including home visits, with inadequate PPE.

Great to be in London today at the #KFPopulationHealth conference. Speaking later alongside a lovely bunch exploring how the NHS and ICBs need to change if we’re really going to do this work. Sharing some of our journey in @LSCICB and learning from others! @TheKingsFund #theoryu

You know what I love about working in the NorthWest? People are full of passion to make a difference. Seen that across the @NHSNW & partners today as we looked at #CVDpreventionNW & how we build healthy communities. Grateful to be part of it! @FurberA @dr_sakthi @Shahed__Ahmad

1/2 There is a cognitive dissonance between, on the one hand “levelling up” by focusing on Maths and English and on the other leaving the same children who need help, hungry and without warm houses heading into winter. It makes no sense and is deeply unjust.

4/5 Many of our 'part time' GPs who work full time hours in their '3 days a week', also lecture in medical schools, have medical leadership jobs, or you know, care for their family/loved ones and/or do a raft of other voluntary things, whilst paying their taxes!

Off on a much needed holiday. So grateful to work with such brilliant teams, at my practice, across @MorecambeBHCP and the whole ICS in @HealthierLSC Plenty of challenges ahead to tackle #healthinequalities but a clear sense of hope and purpose. #TogetherWeCan #restandbethankful
