There’s been lots of media coverage of Labour party estimates that last year over 120,000 people died while on the NHS waiting list. Is this a good estimate, is it a big number and is it alarming? 1/7

Really interesting survey of GPs providing international comparisons from @HealthFdn @commonwealthfnd - certainly chimes with what I hear from GPs

High stress and low satisfaction isn't inevitable: back in 2012, GPs in the UK were among the most satisfied of any country - the UK is now joint lowest with France.

It’s not all bad news from our analysis of GP experiences in 10-high income countries. UK GPs + teams are under pressure but there’s lots to be proud of in UK general practice. Let’s unpack 🧵 (1/10)
