Spot on comment from Professor Chris Whitty on today's attacks being hurled against GPs; “I would stick to the advice that is an old saying but it’s completely right, which is never worry about criticism from somebody you wouldn’t take advice from.”
We have now been told by 6 doctors in different areas that their workplace is being told to throw away waste vaccines (from missed appointments) at the end of the day instead of giving NHS staff their second dose. We're compiling written evidence then will approach the press.
**BREAKING NEWS** The government acted unlawfully. @EverydoctorUK + @GoodLawProject received judgement this am in our legal case. The judge said that the VIP lane for ministers’ friends + contacts was unlawful. When NHS staff needed govt to act responsibly, it broke the law. RT🚨
We went to court today with @GoodLawProject, to apply for a cost-capping order for our 4 PPE cases against the government. We are delighted to announce that we've been granted the cost-cap and can continue to pursue these cases together. We MUST hold the government to account.
In 2015, Jeremy Hunt pledged to increase the GP workforce by 5,000.
In 2019, Matt Hancock pledged to increase the GP workforce by 6,000.
Today, there are 1,904 fewer full-time GPs than 2015.

The Times. The Spectator. The Daily Mail. There is a coordinated attack on GPs by the media going on right now. It’s a political tactic. They’re trying to turn the public against NHS staff & distract us from the Health & Care Bill going through parliament. Please don’t let them.

The EveryDoctor team was alerted to a tweet by Stella Creasy MP this morning, expressing her unhappiness at being included on our map, which details MPs' links to the private healthcare sector. Stella Creasy questioned our methodology and requested that her entry be...
Well this is interesting..🚨We were contacted by a representative of an MP recently, who was very angry about being featured on our map of privatisation. The behaviour was appalling, frankly. We are digging into more data, and have found that the same MP took a huge sum ...
I’m Matt, an NHS nurse, and an organiser at @NurseSayNO I’m on strike tommorow. I wish I wasn’t - I’d much rather be doing my job of looking after people. The average nurse in the UK has lost 20% of their income the last 10 years. We have no other choice to #NHSStrike
