"The areas with the greatest need saw the biggest reductions in support. Is it any surprise health inequalities widened?"

Hi, as GP working for a few years at Claire House, there are a few scenario which are all rare but are quite different. That means it requires an approach which is human and personal, the opposite of guidelines. It needs skilled and confident GPs.

Themes absolutely don’t emerge in quali research @bjgp.bsky.social - these badges a favourite gift from one of our postgrad researchers!

GP working 30 yrs in a mixed urban area, rich & poor

Rarely seen people abuse the benefits system
Seen lots of the health, social & wealth systems fail those in most need

The healthy & wealthy always making the decisions

Compare how the UK spends with similar nations @teamlabouruk.bsky.social

The UK's health and social care services are increasingly strained by rising demands and widening health inequalities. The government has decided to cut welfare benefits for people with disability,' with the minister for intergovernmental relations defending the cuts by saying you can't "tax and borrow your way out of the need to reform (the] state." This is in the world's sixth largest economy, where private fortunes continue to grow. Could taxing wealth be a viable approach to address these critical challenges and promote equity across the population? In simple terms a wealth tax is a tax on a person's or a business's assets, such as their cash and bank holdings, land, and other real estate. There are many ways to tax wealth, including one-off windfall taxes (for example, on a bank or fossil fuel profits) and annual taxes on assets." Proponents argue that wealth taxes are more equitable and reduce inequality, and are therefore justifiable in terms of social justice alone, that they are a counterweight to unfair economic advantages and excessive influence of the wealthy in politics.

Another editorial from this week’s @bmj.com.

By Kate Pickett and David Taylor Robinson.

A wealth tax in the UK could raise £60bn a year to tackle widening inequalities.

Perhaps we can no longer afford NOT to do it?

Blue sky welcome to Liverpool

Good summary of the issues around the use of 'ai' in research.
Interesting to point out that no-one has published a study asking an llm for medical advice.
