See me on #gpsbehindcloseddoors tonight 7pm @channel5_tv Or eat pancakes. I’m gonna do both


I created my first kid, but I was so good at it, for the second one, I went pro. Literally a Dad joke. @DrSelvarajah @Dadsaysjokes @DrJonFerdinand


I am trying to death-scroll and @Twitter is re-feeding me posts from yesterday that I’ve already seen. Not helpful. I’m tempted to sleep instead.


We must challenge 'doctor knows best' attitude, bereaved mother says. Genuine question; It takes a year of GPST3 training+practice to achieve competence in listening to patient/carer ideas and incorporate into a treatment plan. What do non-GP trainees get? bbc.co.uk/news/uk-631591…

BOE predicting 11% CPI GPs with 95 benefits over £22,400 will see their £40k AA limit used by the CPI disconnect, meaning ANY pensionable pay will cause an AA breach🤯 @drlukeevans @sajidjavid this issue is NOT about AA taper or those earning £200k+🤦

2) Unfortunately GPs won't see this issue until they receive their 22/23 AA statement, years from now Given recent commentary from health minister, I'm not convinced they're getting the right info @DHSCgovuk you can have a play with the numbers here👉 grid.is/@gdcuk/impact-…

General practice teams have been working through the pandemic and delivered lions share of vaccinations to date. Now, with #omicron, we need to make sure everyone is protected ASAP. #generalpractice will continue to care for patients while also vaccinating to save lives.

The Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines are powerfully protective against Covid, including existing variants. Vaccine efficacy against hospitalization 14 days after second dose, according to one study: Pfizer - 96% for Delta and 95% for Alpha AZ - 92% for Delta and 86% for Alpha.


Chris Ferdinand Reposted

Public Health England data shows Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is 96% and Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine is 92% effective against hospitalisation after 2 doses against the Delta variant. Please come forward and get protected #CovidVaccine gov.uk/government/new…
