6 life lessons from Marcus Aurelius 1.) Cut out the inessential 2.) Stop making excuses 3.) Embrace failure 4.) Trade anger for sympathy 5.) Always do the right thing 6.) Complaining will make it worse


I'm proud of this piece of work. The survey included 245 #GPReg from across the midlands. The blog post #MediCurious was viewed >900 times and lots of people have contacted me about it. It demonstrates that you can disseminate in the grey lit and have an impact. #TeamGP

#RCGPReg #RCGPAiT #TeamGP Read about the GP employment crisis about to start this summer. 6000 trainees <300 jobs currently available

A few years ago, I was @rcgp First5 chair. I spoke passionately about general practice, encouraged medics to join our ‘family of family doctors’. I am appalled that the majority I encouraged will leave training jobless. Read why here: open.substack.com/pub/medicuriou… @JakeMat91 @BMA_GP

Communication skills in #GP Effective & compassionate #communication is a skill, much improved with practice. It helps with good rapport & time keeping (10min GP consults). A thread of phrases to help #SayWhatYouMean #RCGPReg #SCA #ICE2bNice #RCGPAiT #RCGP #TeamGp 1/n

traffic.libsyn.com/secure/peterat… excellent podcast @PeterAttiaMD clinical take home, older people loose muscle because they become inactive and because they don't eat enough protein. old muscle still grows. But you must eat more protein because your absorption is less efficient


As #GPST do you value continuity of care for learning with your patients? #TeamGP #RCGPAiT

Higher GP continuity is associated with lower mortality, but changing regular GP doesn't significantly affect mortality. High informational & management continuity provided by a GP personal list may compensate for adverse effects when changing GP doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2… @saharpy
