Very difficult reading in today's @IrishTimes So much wrong with our health service but, so many potential solutions 1. Focus on standards of CARING rather than just standards of care 2. Patient centred care 3. Reduced fragmentation of care 4. Support rather than overwhelm GPs

Al-Shifa hospital in #Gaza this morning, following the end of the latest Israeli siege. I repeat: hospitals must be respected and protected; they must not be used as battlefields.

Member of local CAMHS team told a parent to seek a new GP because I as a GP, can't prescribe ADHD meds they initiated + whom they won't arrange follow-up specialist care for on turning 18. Adult services wont accept because of workload involved so expectation is that GPs will???

Added to usual post a large plastic envelope with 140 envelopes, some containing multiple patient letters, arrived today Many already received, generating massive workload for GP practices as admin check + scan into files. Save paper +time by sending via healthlink like we do!

More dumpage from the hospitals! Patient receives this letter. Instead of simply sending the prescription for required prep they waste both patient + doctor time Time to stop the constant transfer of non GP tasks to an already overburdened gp workforce @IMO_IRL @HSELive

We are very disheartened this week. There is real concern about the soup run in Ireland, the Charities Regulators are getting in contact and shutting down many of them because there not a registered charity or HSE registered soup run and we are appalled this is happening as it…

A new book titled “Why Can’t I See My GP?” looks at testimonials from GPs around the world and why they have reached a crisis point. Do we have the same problem as everywhere else? We discuss with @wanderingwelch @illonaduffy #patkenny

Rising influenza presentations. Its a nasty illness esp for older +medically vulnerable patients. If you are a close contact of a flu patient + develop symptoms presume its the flu. Check undertheweather.ie before coming into a gp surgery. Warn us first before booking apt

This is a sobering read on GP capacity from @HIQA - is it any wonder our Emergency Departments are overcrowded? By these estimates we need up to 3000 more GPs in our health system within the next 4 years #PublicHealth #GeneralPractice #EmergencyDepartment #CareCantWait

Also that the extra packets of pill required for extended phased prescribing are included. At present patients have to pay for the extra packs as only 6 packs per 6 months covered!! Also contraceptive need does not stop aged 31! 'if you're going to do it, do it right'
