Training GP practice teams to discuss poverty and support patients experiencing poverty-related mental distress increased understanding of causes of distress; helped avoid inappropriate prescribing; and enabled coordinated team support ➡️ doi.org/10.3399/10.3...

I've been renovating a room in our #OldHouse. Gypsum off, lime on, limewashing this weekend. But I've also been upcycling old furniture. The cats seem impressed with the sideboard that's going in my study!

This moment when the penny drops that trying to implement bathroom bans is an impossibility for the former Tory Chief Secretary Simon Clarke is delicious.

One problem with ‘AI v Doctor’ diagnostic studies is that most diagnoses are either obvious or emergent (ie have an unfolding-over-time dimension in which an ongoing clinician-patient relationship can prove crucial). Also, the most important things a GP knows are a) whether to refer and b) to whom.

Great to see this work in print. Hopefully adding to the evidence that we need to recognise there is a need for ongoing perimenopause management and support in the UK Armed Forces.

In London for a meeting of the Defence Professors and have arrived far too early. I do like being able to get work done at the @rcgp.bsky.social members' lounge. It's very quiet here though!

Today started at 0345, for a workshop on women's health hosted by the Australians. Cats provided much hilarity by pouncing each other and play fighting just at the point I was speaking. Now onto the surgery for my NHS time. Fuelled by coffee today!

Back into teaching mode for me today with our #DefenceGPTrainees. A morning of consultation skills and now talking about high altitude medicine. Its cold, windy, dry (even with snow), there's less oxygen and electrical storms. I'm not sure why anyone likes mountains!

There’s a lot of NHS folk who’d like to see the end of GP partnerships because they can’t work with every practice being slightly different. Those same people just do not understand that that’s what makes general practice successful and efficient, designed around the community. 1/3

What I really need Bluesky to do is let me have a list of people that I want to follow but who aren't here yet, and then notify me when they join so I can follow them! I keep searching for people and they're not here 😭

I was talking about writing a new GP book list with our registrars over dinner so this is well timed! Day 1 #BookSky 💙📚 #Books House of God by Samuel Shem. Old and dated in some respects, such vital relevance still now. I remain convinced it should be required reading for all Drs.

Couple of gentle nudges… Use a capital for each separate word in hashtags so that screen readers, used by people with visual impairments, can distinguish between words. Also, do use alt text on media…..you can set an auto reminder for that in Settings.

Lucy Easthope told the RCGP conference she would rock our world when she talked to us last year. She did indeed! The book has so many moments of truth and realisations. Definitely worth a read for anyone who hasn't read it yet!
