If you feel tired, short of breath and have leg swelling, ask your GP for a Pro BNP blood test.

@DeanEggitt This assumes that people who don’t engage are choosing to so because they don’t *want* to engage. Usually people don’t engage because of systemic barriers to engagement.

@DeanEggitt I think it’s about making things relatable and accessible.

@DeanEggitt We've been talking about this for as long as I can remember. And I'm almost as old as the NHS. The challenge isn't patients not engaging, it's designing effective processes.

@DeanEggitt My GP sends a text with a proforma attached instead of doing health checks, and usually in the month before Qof. I don’t engage. TBH I would get Dominoes to offer a BP check with every pizza. Convenient, no white coat problems and is followed by a delicious treat

I spoke to a locum GP this weekend who is likely to give up her licence to practice as she has not had enough patient contact this year to prove competence (which is an annual requirement in England). This is due to a shortage of work, because no one can afford to employ GPs.

@TomPMarshall @DeanEggitt Article says health checks are not helpful because “ primary care physicians already identify and intervene when they suspect a patient to be at high risk of developing disease when they see them for other reasons.” Is this still true given the problem with access to GPs?

If we are to create a national wellbeing service we need to encourage patients to attend for regular health and chronic disease checks. How would you motivate patients who do not engage with health services?

Our government has trust issues. Give money to GPs to buy staff? No. Give money to sick people to care for themselves? No.

GPs expressed worries that Dr Parker’s position on the panel would deter the GPC from publicly criticising the decision, or discourage GPs in his LMC area to raise concerns about it. buff.ly/3UoTxA6

It sounds like it's time for a resignation from the GPC executive team or a vote or no confidence. Jump or be pushed?
