During the pandemic, especially in wave 2, I saw many women miscarry or suffer stillbirth as a result of Covid-19. I’ve seen zero pregnant women becoming critically ill or lose their baby through mRNA covid vaccines. This is cruel, stupid and shameful.

There’s a curious group of people who, in my exp, were never seeing patients, never set foot in a hospital, who still rant and rave about the pandemic on a regular basis, whether it’s Joe Rogan (who saw his earnings soar), or fear-mongering science influencers attempting to cling onto relevance

Oh FFS not this again. The NHS is chronically under-managed, more admin burden on clinical staff means less clinical work gets done. I also note we’re still clutching the ‘more with less’ straw. Disappointing doesn’t cover it @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/01...

1,391 practices have closed since 2015 Factors causing this can include partner retirements, the inability to recruit staff or GP partners Whilst the GP workforce has been declining, the number of patients continues to increase, demonstrating the ever-mounting workload www.bma.org.uk/advice-and-s...

It takes some chutzpah for the guy who was a home office minister and member of a government that presided over a decade of neglect of the courts and justice system to stand up and complain about the mess they left behind. Like s***ing the bed then moaning about the smell.
Robert Jenrick stands outside the courts of justice and hypocritically complains about delays in rape trials.

Labour haven’t got more GPs The summer plan was for 1000 GPs via ARRS scheme so far just 65 have been recruited in the latest figures This is because it’s restricted funding & not given to practices to recruit directly GPs are unemployed due to no funding (There were 73 PCN GPs prior to June)

NHS England would be better using AI for their referral pathways rather than the current incumbents AI understands patients need to see a GP🤷🏻‍♂️ @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social I despair at the current state of NHS England planning, funding more GPs will save £Millions in care & referrals

We keep pumping money into the NHS. Is it good value?
Critics complain that our health service is bloated and inefficient — but the diagnosis is complex, and how does it compare with other countries?

In our submission to the DDRB we're recommending a pay uplift that will restore doctors' pay to 2008/2009 levels, accounting for RPI inflation. The Government's own suggestion of 2.8% would fall far beneath that, demonstrating a poor grasp of unresolved pay issues in the NHS. 🧵 (1/4)
