Great #FCP English round table @thecsp.bsky.social today. My take outs: - FCPs not just a solution to primary care access but also key to admission avoidance and helping folk back to work
- ARRS is not right way to fund FCP
- standards right but roadmap needs to adopt to changed context.

My new book ‘The Cancer Roadmap’ was launched today

It’s for anyone affected by cancer
It tells you what is it, what causes it, how it’s treated, who to trust, how to understand risk + spot red flags on social media when it comes to alternative cures.

I know today was difficult.

I understand you’re tired baby.
So tired.

You’ve said wtf more times in 24 hrs than you’ve said your whole life. 😮‍💨

But you can’t quit now. People need your help. You can’t accept this chaos & hatred as normal.

Sit beside me, rest & get your energy back.
