Hi palliative folks, any experience with the 'green whistle' Penthrox, outside the ED setting for painful dressings/procedures etc, been asked a few times recently and have no experience ?
Q: How do you trick the population into believing that asylum seekers are becoming a bigger and bigger issue? A: Stop processing asylum applications. Cynical? That's exactly what the Tories did. The % of asylum applications completed within 6 months fell from 80%+ to ~10%.
Today we’re launching our landmark report - Bereavement is Everyone’s Business. We know that many children and adults don’t get adequate support after the death of a loved one. Today’s report sets out the changes needed to improve support across the UK. bit.ly/3ykodbr
So, what do people need? We've identified 5 things... Firstly, their electronic end-of-life record needs to: 1️⃣ Communicate people’s health information and end-of-life wishes seamlessly across care settings. 2️⃣ Travel between geographical boundaries.

As a hospital doctor I cannot stand by & see what is happening to our GPs. Without them the whole healthcare system will collapse. They are being scapegoated & used to divert blame from year of Gov failings. Once done with GPs we are the next targets #GPCrisis #SupportGPs
Enough of this scapegoating, Javid should be ashamed of himself, gutter politics...the GPs I know are exhausted and overstretched. Read the actual facts in this thread below. No coincidence same week government slammed for its covid response in parliamentary report
