I wrote this post a few weeks after a frustrating day. Some days as a GP it feels like we just cannot do enough and it’s a thankless task, and some days I feel really valued and inspired. I don’t think it’s going to get easier any time soon. #teamGP #GPsky #medsky

Thanks this is a great summary. Useful to add around expected death in community and need (or not need) for verification?
Will add to our practice website as helps to show family expected time frame ie MCCD can take longer than 5 days to release to registrars (and not to arrange funeral beforehand).

🚨TW: a thread on death

There has been a lot of discussion this week around delays to obtaining a death certificate, which highlights misunderstandings around the documents that accompany a death

So…

What is a β€œDeath Certificate”?

Sunday morning musings.
Anyone finding Accurx individual messages sent to NHSapp instead of SMS arent getting timely (or any) response if sending 2way message?
Should be a 60min reminder but seems glitchy & less useful if inviting patients to f2f. Get it for batch messaging but not individual #GPsky

I love clear nights like this. Stars are looking stunning. Mars, Jupiter and Venus all shining bright. Fell in love with the stars when I did my brownies stargazer badge many moons ago!

I would have loved this podcast 13 years ago when pregnant with my first… and that was before the increase in parenting forums and social media use!

Landed at #Heathrow at 7am this morning - a swirly descent but landing was pretty good. Is it strange I’m now watching @bigjet.tv while on train home to see what it’s like out there?!

LOVED IT. I saw the theatre show a few years ago and was obsessed. The film takes a slightly different direction but Cynthia and Ariana both did a cracking job. Emilia adored it too.
