I live a block away from an asylum hotel and a block up the road from a hostel for single male refugees. I’ve never experienced any problems, folks are just people like any other.

🧵 below contextualising plans for 2026 @rdash_nhs
7 questions about 2026 as NHS organisations face the reality of financial allocations to commissioning ICBs: South Yorkshire is both one of the most deprived areas in England and one of the biggest funding formula losers - that’s above my pay grade…1/n @rdash_nhs

Please stop a little while, read and listen. So important that everyone, particularly our @rdash_nhs colleagues, understands the “why” and “how” . Understands that our intention remains to deliver excellence whilst being a good employer.

Can healthcare, or decisions about planning it, ever be 'safe'?
Risk is everywhere
You can make decisions that reduce harm
Or make the 'safest' of 2 risky decisions
Can organisations be safe & have risks simultaneously?
At what level of harm, or risk of it,does it become 'unsafe?

Time for some positivity!
Patients need GPs & GPs need the resources to provide care for them
A brand new contract that puts patients in the centre but provides the resources & flexibility GPs need
YOUR GP, HERE FOR YOU
There is a growing consensus

🌟Taking Preventive Medications🌟
(Tablets for Cholesterol/ BP/ Diabetes/ Bones)
Are clinicians responsible for the outcomes of patients who don't take recommended medications?
Are we liable if a patient comes to harm for not taking it?
We need to bottom this out together ⬇️ 1/11

Your GP, here for you!
But it needs a new patient focused contract between the 6300 GP practices & @NHSEngland @DHSCgovuk
250 Neighbourhood centres may help a bit but not as much as investing in the current 6300 Neighbourhood GP practices
@wesstreeting @SKinnock
It’s vital that patients have a GP & that GPs are able to provide the care that they know patients need. We need a new patient focused GP contract, ‘Your GP, here for you’ outlines what is needed.

GPs can get the public to want a great new contract, more than their current Wes one, he is a public servant
One of him, 38,000 GPs with 6300 practices, half the population visiting every month. GPs have contacts & can message them
Your GP, here for you!

YOUR GP - HERE FOR YOU - A NEW CONTRACT
It’s time for a new contract between you, your GP & the Government
For too long GP have been restricted in providing care by top down contracts with limited funding, which don’t put patients first
GPs need your support in providing this

Massively looking forward to Friday’s @rdash_nhs annual awards: 600 nominations, many shortlisted, 16 prizes…
Thanks to our sponsors, guests, but mostly well done to all our peers, volunteers and staff winners! Amazing.

I think this is misunderstanding the nature guidance, which require judgement to apply
Or else ANYONE could apply then
Eg kidney disease
Your patient may be 30 or 90 y/o
Dizzy
End of life
Not want meds
An athlete
On 1 medication or 25
Guidelines can't accommodate all scenarios!

Human consciousness/ thinking has evolved over hundreds of years.
Organisational structures often reflect the consciousness of the time they were established.
Many people's consciousness has moved on beyond most our organisations. New ones have emerged to that better reflect it.

GP practice here for 100yrs
Area Health Authorities, Govts, NHS 5y, 10y plans, PCTs, CCGs, ICBs all have come & gone or are going
GPs have always been there despite expensive reorganisations, Govt plans
Time to recognise the value of GPs @wesstreeting before it’s too late
