@RobLaurensonD4P I created one for our locality around 10 years ago. It was simple. Worked. And allowed me (as the editor) to ask those who were pushing referral hurdle questions, why? Anyway, there was no perceived value so it was stopped. We kept it going after the funding ended for a while as…
Warm words about rural proofing are welcome, but it is the actions that count for #rural #dispensinggp patients especially as their NHS GPs are yet to see dispensary staff NI costs covered in the dispensing fee @AshleyDalton_MP @DavidSmithMP dispensingdoctor.org/news/dont-miss…
It's that time of year when thoughts turn to the Autumn NHS vaccination programmes and the valuable role played by NHS GPs. For #dispensinggp and #rural patients, resources are still stretched. One day this resource will break @SKinnock @wesstreeting @MarkDrakeford @neilgraysnp
DND concessions don't apply to #dispensinggp, putting pressure on #rural GPs who supply these drugs. It's time this anomaly was corrected. @wesstreeting @SKinnock @TheBMA

Why does a 111 non clinical operative get to decide that a GP has to call a pt back within 2 hours for a toenail problem? Yet, my patients with actual life threatening features of diseases can wait 14 hours for an ambulance? We are literally the liability sponge aren't we?
Is this an opportunity for #dispensinggp to be included in the EPS? For the sake of #rural patients, particularly as hospitals join the EPS, it's time there was NHS funding for this. It's a core NHS service @SKinnock @wesstreeting tinyurl.com/53nhbn5d
Cornwall hospitals go live with the electronic prescription service tomorrow, but did you know that #rural patients can't benefit because the NHS won't pay to connect their usual #dispensinggp practice? That's a lot of benefit lost @benmaguirenc @JayneKirkham4 @Perran4CRH
Did you know that #rural #dispensinggp patients can't take advantage of the EPS that you want in hospitals? #edm Please use your voice to correct this rural inequity. @EdwardMorelloWD @wendychambLD @helenmaguiremp @SteveDarlingMP @tomgordonLD @JessBrownFuller
This is the kind of thing that hurts rural practices. New technology which ignores integration with rural general practice. The impact is massive but instead the system prioritises other sexier initiatives. General practice meanwhile starves in the corner.

Tax rises of tens of billions absolutely possible in the Autumn - though not inevitable. Nobody can be sure at this point. I don't see how you (sensibly) raise, say, £30bn, without rises in NI, VAT or income tax. (And no, you can't get even close with an annual "wealth tax").

A happy 74th birthday to Trevor Eve. Shoestring is my favourite British private detective series and Eve effortlessly brought 'private ear' Eddie Shoestring to life, from the mental breakdown back story, quirky pyjama shirts, the doodling of villains & mildly flirtatious charm.

Looks like initial attempt to save >£5bn, which then was watered down to saving of less than half that will now save nothing. And could even end up *costing* a few tens of millions. Not a triumph.
