Deepthi Lavu

Over the past 2 years, I’ve gained national leadership experience:
👥 RCGP GP Registrar Co-Chair
👥 RCGP rep to the AoMRC Resident Doctors Committee

Now, I’m standing because I believe we ‘must and can’ build a future-ready, sustainable profession—together 💙

#PrimaryCareLeadership #IMGVoices

I’m standing for RCGP Council! 🌟

As an academic GP working on health inequalities, I’m a proud advocate for a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable future for general practice—for both patients and GPs alike.

Together we can make our voice heard where decisions are being made 💪🏼

#RCGP #TeamGP

We won 🤩

More importantly, or message is out here to share.

Switching from disposable to reusable insulin pens not only benefits the environment but also the pocket.

Have you switched yet?

Absolutely thrilled and honestly surprised. Here’s the story of #PenSwitch and why it matters. 🧵

We might not have the same approaches but the goal is clearly the same. 💪🏼

When trying to improve registrar experiences in GP no voice is too big and no effort too small. This is what I’ve learnt from being on the panel in the ‘A Vision for the future of GP’ conference.

Today is Earth Day 🌏

At @exeter.ac.uk we have over 1,500 researchers and educators working towards a green future

Here's a snapshot of the work that has been making headlines in recent days 🧵 #EarthDay

Plastic Rain Is the New Acid Rain Researchers find that over 1,000 metric tons of microplastic fall on 11 protected areas in the US annually, equivalent to over 120 million plastic water bottles.

The scary concept of acid rain helped drive a successful campaign to regulate emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. Will plastic rain finally convince us enough is enough?

120 million water bottles are falling from the sky over our national parks and wilderness areas.

Come and join us at @apexcomms.bsky.social! We are hiring for a post-doctoral research fellow to work on a realist evaluation of continuity of care in UK general practice 👉 jobs.exeter.ac.uk/hrpr_webrecr...
