Urgent! Wes Streeting
is fully occupied running for PM!
Milburn (any unQualified
Provider) in effect running the NHS...
FPR
If frontline staff are worried about affording rent, bills, food, fees for exams, car park charges-they cannot be fully focussed on safe, efficient high quality NHS care...
Training places
Some Consultants do not like training Residents (Junior Doctors) ... favour PAs eand ACPs etc
Streeting and MacKey, managers, limit training places for Residents (Junior Doctors)
With everything against you, it must be very tempting NOT to strike, remain silent and compliant, never complain or whistleblow-just complete Resident years and EMIGATE!
Palentir
Doctors are allowed to refuse cooperation with Palentirs EPR-which itself is not the best software.
Substitution of real Doctors by PAs, AAs, ACPs-some are even called "consultants"
The International Education Authority, Kate Andrews
and followers...
The Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) is a free-market think tank that advocates
for significant
market-based reforms, and often radical
change, to the National Health Service (NHS),
arguing it underperforms compared to
European healthcare systems and costs lives,
proposing models like social health insurance
(SHI) or privatisation to introduce choice
and competition for better outcomes.
The IEA contends that the NHS's state-run model
leads to inefficiency and poor performance,
citing data showing worse outcomes than
systems in countries like Switzerland
and the Netherlands, and calls for a shift towards
patient-centered, market-driven solutions
(PRIVATE!!!), a stance that draws criticism for ignoring
other successful models and relying on
funding from industries potentially opposed
to public health, notes The BMJ.
"anybody can be a Doctor, let PAs AAs ACPs take over..., reduce training..."
Doctor replacement
Flooding with PAs, AAs, ACPs some even called "Consultants" despite NO MEDICAL DEGREE
Waiting lists: Huge contrick fiddle-see article below...
A decent article-until her punchline conclusion: copy Singapore, France, Germany etc: ie insurance, more money, go private...
All GPs know the problems
"Validation" is the ruse used to REMOVE patients from the waiting list...
A waiting list to get on the waiting list...
Tell patient appt is cancelled-but counted as seen by a Doctor
Prevent joining waiting list-removed without telling GP or patient, removed
if on holiday-have to start again...
first "consult" by phone, then needs face to Face
Tests-several months
Consult from abroad-Malasia
Many immigrants-priority
DH demand and pay GPs for Advice and Guidance (treat them in GP land...) Many
choose to go private
Hospitals paying off PFI have no money to pay for operations:
no teams, surgeons, theatre time. DH cut money,
order cessation of operations...
The "official" waiting list numbers are A FICTION invented by DH...
CQC forces closure-then reopens...
Imposed new GP contract
DH have discarded usual discussion, consultation channels, and imposed without discussion
Quietly scrapped Advice and Guidance fee-where a pimply youth refuses the GPs refferal, sends to care in the community
GPs MUST have a right to refer, using their years of experience to refer
GPs right to cap a day's list banned-unsafe, burnt out, dangerous
GPs must priorotise urgent cases... What do DH think GPs have been doing the last decade
Targets for vaccination...
The BMA has warned that long-running pressures on general practice
have seen more than
6,000 GP partners leave the medical profession since 2015, a figure roughly
equivalent to around 28 per cent of the total partner workforce.
GPs
left reeling after same day urgent care
Dr Steve Taylor
@DrSteveTaylor
Government details £485m uplift as part of imposed GP contract
When inflation stripped out, £85m additional funding £1.50 a patient per year
This is more failure not a solution to Bring back the Family Doctor
