I am so disheartened 😞
The CURE for the overwhelmed hospitals & ambulance queues is sitting in a fridge somewhere while GPs, nurses & pharmacists are sitting, waiting to help like an impotent civilian army.
I should be vaccinating 100s of patients today.

Letter sent today to Secretary of State for Health and Social Care @MattHancock from 66 GPs urging him to consider non-Covid harms in the response to the pandemic
Lots of people outside enjoying the sun as they should be.
Seeing lots of critical tweets-
firstly, outside transmission is minimal.
And secondly many people don’t have gardens or outside space.
Before taking pics of people in a playground, take a look at yourself.

I try and not discuss this on social media as this is my personal and community trauma, not my professional life.
But I honestly cannot cope with watching an 80 year old hostage be released from terrorist captivity and not scream from the rooftops - how are certain commentators
The 80-year-old Israeli civilian, Gadi Mozes, assaulted by the crowd during his transfer to the Red Cross.

Offered patient same day appt for acute problem.
Declined as wanted specific doctor only.
Therefore 3w wait.
Declined to wait.
Declined same day appt.
Their narrative - I can never get an appt
Our narrative - we offered a good service.
Who’s right? #NHS#teamgp
UK “we had a terrible pandemic and poor public health response and lessons were learned”
Also UK : three days of Group A strep and penicillin already out of stock
Today in the UK a child was unable to go their parent’s funeral service because they were told to isolate for a #COVID19 contact.
I can no longer understand the world in which I live.
I’m an #NHS GP facing this every day.
I’m also a carer and a patient.
I went to a very good university and medical school and can analyse and interpret data.
Spend a day in my shoes and maybe you will get real.
Stay in your lane in celebville.
Heading to work to 1st day of new system in #GP surgery.
Let’s #keeptheschoolsopen until the right EXPERT-LED time, so essential health services staffed by working parents can open.
If you are tweeting #closetheschoolsuknow - U obviously don’t care about #NHS working parents
Colleague has no #petrol to get to work tomorrow
(Senior partner in GP surgery where we see patients face to face & she’s doing flu clinic & has a whole nursing home to look after).
What say you @grantshapps ?
Is petrol for critical workers protected?
