Delighted to be back in Malawi and with MEIRU to finalise some of our data collection in Karonga, to catch up with the team in Lilongwe, and to present some of our findings at the National Public Health Research Dissemination Conference tomorrow. A hectic two weeks, but looking forward to the lake!

Well, that’s @europeanrespsoc.bsky.social Congress wrapped up, and my 13.5 hr train journey home underway. It’s been a privilege to present data from my work with MEIRU on a community survey lung function in Malawi 🇲🇼 & a pleasure to meet so many friends & colleagues - but definitely time for home!

Read this long, difficult but incredibly balanced and nuanced piece last night. Essential reading for all medics, although perhaps not at the end of a long day on call. Really believe that recognising systems factors does not negate the need for personal ownership of mistakes - but very hard to do

This kind of reporting is frustrating & irresponsible, for @theguardian.com to simply quote wholesale the numbers without critiquing them. Proportion of in-person appts has fallen, but absolute number has massively risen without the same rise in the number of GPs - they are incredibly overstretched
Patient satisfaction with GP services in England has collapsed, research finds
Patient satisfaction with GP services in England has collapsed, research finds
Exclusive: Family doctors have switched to providing far fewer in-person appointments
* GPs in poor parts of England are paid £5,500 less a year than in wealthy areas, study finds
Patients’ satisfaction with GP services has collapsed in recent years as family doctors have switched to providing far fewer face-to-face appointments, new research has revealed.
