I guess once the not safe for EU labels start rolling out, Billingsgate Market will need an E-Coli section for UK consumption only.

THE UK IS DYING
The genuine tragedy in Ukraine & the desperation of people arriving on boats
Yet 3 times as many people have died prematurely in UK as have died in the Ukraine war
More people than have arrived on boats
Govt is failing to address this scandal

Life expectancy has dropped significantly in UK compared to similar nations
Excess deaths remain higher in UK
And if you’re ‘unlucky’ enough to live in some of the most deprived areas it is so much worse

5000 UK trained nurses are leaving/year
In a global healthcare market for workers the UK is reliant on immigration for over half of #NHS Drs & Nurses
But with pay falling many are choosing better options

Let me take you through the journey of writing this research paper that documents that #EatOutToHelpOut was causing more #COVID19 infections at a time when a vaccine was in sight.

"irrelevant" to me. The timing of all of this #whatsappleak is dubious. My interpretation as a "citizen" (in quotes because of #Brexit I cant become British without giving up my German nationality), is that this is an attempt to attack PM Sunak who found a #Brexit compromise
on Northern Ireland with EU. My comments are much more around the process of how as a society we are handling data/evidence/research. And we need to develop a more healthy relationship with research and evidence and "empower the experts". After we had a decade of ...

Trying desperately not to think about it but having been inadvertently given access to all of my GP notes on system one including psychiatric notes when I was only trying to access a copy of my summary care record is very unsettling. I had deliberately intended never to read 1/
any of my notes. Having worked for the #NHS in some capacity intermittently since 2005 (including time as an admin assistant to a #MHA office) and as a doctor since 2011 I am acutely aware that medical notes can sometimes be brutally dehumanising. I understand it is @rcpsych 2/
guidance now that clinic letters are sent to patients but I previously opted out of receiving them. It always felt so strange to read about myself in such a clinical way. I began to dread the brown envelopes with the off white NHS paper that came through the letterbox. 3/

“The medical and nursing care I received was exemplary and I will be forever grateful for those working well past their 12-hour shifts to provide passionate and expert care.” - @LeaderSutton #StGeorgesHospital #NHSheroes
Cllr Dombey said the “NHS is on its knees” adding: “In 21st Century Britain, patients are being treated in hospital corridors”... NHS staff are “leaving in their droves”, social care is also facing staff shortages. #NHSCrisis #NHS
It is management by bankers for bankers. Do you see different?
Perhaps also emblematic of that?
Please can everyone read and share this. As a specialist in how much tech can and can't replace staff, we need to question the government claims re #NHSCrisis and efficiency gains Vs funding
I never beg folk for retweets, but some things warrant that. The thread above quoted many Drs and other experts on history and plans here for our #NHS service
It used this example to ask if it would be an NHS inefficiency

This is not restructuring or tech solution needed. It is NHS staff

So after my recent tweet got some traction, here is what I have learnt about how public perception of GPs. A 🧵
So after my recent tweet got some traction, here is what I have learnt about how public perception of GPs. A 🧵
GPs are apparently awful for not responding quickly enough to someone calling having a heart attack. (GPs are not an emergency service. If you think you are having a heart attack - please call 999 or go to A&E)
GPs apparently earn a fortune which is bad. The evidence for our ‘fortune’ is apparently because of our houses and cars. Not on the mandatory declaration of GP earnings each surgery publishes on their website.
Darren doing the 'they wouldn't let us...' bit. 'free speech' warriors are all clutching pearls, while elsewhere on social media pushing outrage farming nonsense completely free to do so
A bit of a run down in a mo on why this is happening. Grimes of course was one of Vote Leave's primary fiction promo stalwarts
Here is some more detail on why he wants us all upset about what we can't say, while similar bodies keep courting clicks saying it all
The media is putting more focus on #NHSCrisis
You see reports from wards, hospitals, Emergency Departments, Ambulances of the immense pressures faced by my colleagues in secondary care
But what does this crisis look like in #primarycare?

I've been a GP for 15 years
GP + #primarycare has always been busy
Balancing access, demand + capacity has always been a challenge
But honestly, things are different now.
We don't have trollies in corridors or ambulances queuing outside.
But this doesn't mean there's no #GPCrisis

This is not something that has happened overnight
The current "perfect storm" of flu, covid, respiratory illness and lack of social care has exposed and exacerbated long term cracks that have become gaping holes in the system...
So what are the issues in GP?

It is already starting here. You may wonder why folk would stir up such obvious lies about schools? It is so hugely profitable to destroy our state education, same as state healthcare
1/ I'm pulling my hair out with the crap, disingenuous media reporting of the #NHSCrisis. I've seen the BBC, Sky and ITV all cite the Tories plan to give health and social care £14.1bn more over 2 years with NO CONTEXT. So let me do it:
Thread
Thread
2/ Total spend on health and social care is c£180 bn a year.
With inflation at c10%, to stay level they would need an extra c£18 bn a year.
The Tories plan is c.£7 bn a year, ie £11 bn, c60% less than is needed to stay level.
So in practice this extra money is a real terms cut.

3/ By not giving this context, the media are doing a propaganda job for the Tories. The Tories are trying to present a real terms cut as extra money. By parroting the line that this is "extra" money. the media are lying on the Tories behalf.
There’s been some trolling since my thread yest; people who think they’ve had their “gotcha” moment, telling me it’s already all over the media .
That argument doesn’t wash. Especially when you still have rhetoric like this
You really think you’re always getting the bigger pic?

The government will get stuff out in the media to try and divert attention; like this for example.
It’s incredibly out of touch!

So I’ll continue to collate articles/tweets about the #NHSCrisis.
Yes, some of those articles may come from the media - I’m glad those items are out there, but there needs to be more.
To think otherwise, has such a gaslight-y vibe.

1/ The massive #NHSCrisis we're now suffering is only a surprise to the Tories and the mainstream media. The warnings of this crisis were there in JULY, well before flu and the winter COVID surge. They were ignored then as they coincided with the Johnson meltdown.

3/ In September, no emergency action by the government to prepare for Winter. Instead they were planning cuts to NHS!
Many are not aware of the state of the NHS at the mo.
It's not their fault; there's little in the media.
If you know where to look/have witnessed this, then you'll know. But that's not enough.
So; a 🧵 of tweets showcasing reality.
Please share/RT to those who may not know.

One can't turn a blind eye (as the government is trying their damned hardest to do).
It's not safe.
We need uproar.
We need revolution.
We do not wish for it to be this way but people need to know.
