Remember, if you see posts/accounts here on Bluesky that you think are interesting to your followers, you need to *share* them - clicking “like” is not enough to get them promoted up the algorithm like it does in the other place.

100% agree. Having to refer a patient to secondary care pain clinic for a scan results in inhumane delays for patients. GPs are consultants in community medicine.

"We’re the only clinicians who take accountability for the longitudinal care of patients with chronic pain symptoms."

Rachel ⬇️ is a fantastic account to follow, both for #MedSky and in general. She is a palliative care doc, writer, former journalist and fearless, fiesty and fun all at the same time. I admire her hugely and appreciate being able to disagree (on #AssistedDying) cordially. She is simply fab.
I’m not going to leave X just yet - I hate that sense of being driven away from a place I used to love. But after one day on here, I already know how much prefer it.

So if you see this and would be kind enough to share it to let people find me, that would be hugely appreciated. Thank you.

The increasing outsourcing of social care provision in England has coincided with a care crisis and worse quality.

Removing the profit motive would help improve quality and reduce inequities, argues Analysis
