99% of GP’s fear under-18s would come to harm as a direct result of facing long delays to see a specialist & vital care being rationed. Will trailblazer areas improve this for CYP with ADHD & Autism? @Tamsin_J_Ford @WeGPNs @GPViewUK @AutisticaUK theguardian.com/society/2018…

Some people might think I should have better things to do on a Friday evening while the kids are in bed & my husband is out. Appears not. Blogging makes me happy. Read my next post....what does a GP actually do?! This is just a small snap shot... #teamGP doctorabbie.com/2018/11/16/a…

Resign! While current GP Partners continue to prop up and desperately fill in the gaps in the broken system, the government will drag their heels over obtaining a solution. The BMA / RCGP will have endless meetings discussing the subject!!

I’m a #GP. I’m a #mum. I had #childcare issues today. I had #parent responsibilities. I had #patient responsibilities. I had to consider #safety for both. I had no choice. With a great admin team, we muddled through the day with my child at #work. . #NHS #workingparent #gplife
