John McKay worked at Marylebone in the 1980s but at weekends he was a driver on the Bluebell Railway in Sussex. A gentleman of the first order, it was my privilege to join him on the footplate for a day. #portrait #filmphotography #35mm #traindriver #railwayphotography #steamtrain

When aGP practice sends an AccuRx/Systmone invite to book an appointment in the next 7-14 days, and there’s none available for over three months…it tells me that the IT and process needs a rethink, not that they don’t have appointments. #nhs #primaryhealthcare #healthpolicy #gpsurgery

So @gwr.com could you explain to me why, when I turned up at 00.16 at Bath Spa for the 00.20 train towards Westbury, that the entire station was locked and I had to take a taxi? #railtravel #rail #trains #bathspa

One of the challenges of fixing NHS dental care is that few of the directors/managers based in in ICBs (responsible for commissioning dental services) have much understanding of dental providers and their NHS contract. Dental is now crudely lumped together with pharmacy and opticians (POD). #NHS

I did consider making a speech about tackling poverty, taxing the rich, nationalising utilities and properly funding the NHS and social care, but then I thought... nah, just go full Enoch Powell.

Measles has now hit 800+ cases in the USA across 24 states. Montana has reported its first case since 1999. Should we be requiring visitors to the UK from the USA to provide evidence of vaccination before boarding flights? #healthpolicy #publichealth #DoHSC

Never forget.

Title reads: "It Didn't Start with Gas Chambers." Text below reads: "It started with one party controlling the media. One party controlling the message. One party deciding what is truth. One party censoring speech and controlling the opposition. One party dividing citizens into "us" vs "them" and calling on their supporters to harrass "them". Below it states: "It started when good people turned a blind eye and let it happen." Beneath the text is a picture of Nazi Germany.

RFK Jr. is literally setting the foundation for some Hans Asperger-level Nazi euthanasia campaign and my #ActuallyAutistic Jewish ass just can’t. I can’t come up with anything more cogent than this: “burden to families” and “a life not worth living” are the exact arguments that the Nazis used.

It was simply a matter of time - hospital chief executives have virtually taken over our Integrated Care Board (NHS admin that sits between NHS England and front line healthcare). They’ve raided primary care funds meaning a likely end to GP led outreach. #healthpolicy #socialpolicy #nhs #healthcare

It has been almost nine years since the UK's Brexit debacle really began, and I'm still angry about it. Some people say: "It's happened; move on." I won't. My EU citizenship was literally stolen in 2016. It's like having a car stolen, but you can neither claim insurance nor replace it. #FBPE 🇪🇺

The past 24 hours have seen some massive DHSC/NHS policy shifts. As a primary care person I’m cautiously optimistic about removal of stifling layers of organisation that add no value to GP led initiative. #nhs #healthpolicy #socialpolicy #politics #primaryhealthcare #gpfederation #gpsurgery

Fears over the future of Boots as private equity (PE) makes £8bn takeover bid of owner Walgreens. PE has no loyalty to people, place or product. It devours by cutting staffing/wages, investment; extracts money and dodges taxes. Boots has real estate, state guaranteed prescriptions income.

“Every $1300 New York invested in building bike-lanes in 2015 provided benefits equivalent to 1 additional year of life at full health over the lifetime of all city residents, according to a new economic assessment.” Among many other benefits, bike-lanes are a really smart public health investment.

NEW: A moment in Munich. Zelenskyy says Russia is creating 15 new divisions of 150,000 soldiers: "Maybe these soldiers are for Ukraine. Maybe they are for you.” He ends hoping for peace. A long, standing ovation. What a contrast to Vance, met with silence as he torched transatlantic relations.

It may not be perfect, and like other taxation/regulated insurance funded health care systems, it is under strain, but I love the simple statement on the cover of this document. To my knowledge, nobody has yet been bankrupted by having to pay for their #NHS #healthcare. #healthpolicy #socialpolicy

Why did Trump have himself put in charge of the Kennedy Center? Because he knows that the educated and cultured people who patronize it despise him. So he seeks revenge. And he knows that his being in charge of the center will destroy it.
