Today, we've written to @skinnock.bsky.social

Too many patients are unable to access the care they need - yet the new cohort of GPs are facing unemployment.

We are asking Government to urgently consider additional ring-fenced funding to address this crisis as soon as possible.

42 year old male with 6 weeks history of nasal congestion and headache no fever, seen urgent care GP as last day of his second course of antibiotics not improved. He is already on 2 types of nasal steroids? No PMH, no known allergy. What else in the history could help with the diagnosis #Medfly #ENT
