When we’re Centred, we find comfort, confidence and serenity, choosing wisely our next intention.
In times of adversity we focus on those aspects at our core that make the most difference.
When the winter comes it’s the most important time to keep the fire burning 🔥
#CENTREDPrimaryCare
Pattern recognition, guiding patients towards evidence-informed choices takes time, skill, experience and clinical intuition.
This is why Continuity can offer an advantage as evidenced by outcomes & admissions.
Due credit to those doing this in one encounter!

Nurture works for me as a concept within this, as the understanding of the patient’s approach and their family dynamics help to evolve our understanding through experience.
It’s there to be enjoyed, not endured, exercising compassion for the adversity faced.
#CENTREDPrimaryCare
I’m hopeful we will have measures to give us more evidence of the effectiveness of this concept; we know patients value it, (and they always have) and the impact this has on the healthcare system when done well.
When Primary Care thrives, the NHS survives.
#CENTREDPrimaryCare
Decision-sharing.
Primary Care is centred: It’s centred on patients.
Getting the diagnosis right, then getting the treatment right for the patient.
This takes collaboration, knowledge of evidence, an equal discussion between respective expert perspectives.
It’s the anniversary of last year’s #RCGPAC when the originals came together to record #GPKipling
We’re socially but not intellectually distanced.
Much has changed yet much remains the same.
Sending best wishes wherever you’re watching this, until we connect again #GPKipling2020
To remind ourselves on how good last year’s conference was, let’s start a thread of what your best bits were: photos, memories, learning, people!! 👇
Some of the publishable social shots from #RCGPAC last year!!
Not a social distance in sight 🤗
Going to miss these weekly @PHE_uk Surveillance reports. Very helpful data to contextualise the current status of cases, ethnicity, age and location.
Helpful international data too
This helped me understand why with the surge of cases we’re not yet seeing the surges in Admissions & Mortality at the rate observed in Spring.
It also helped to show its fine for my 5 year old to go to school!
Weekly test positivity was a helpful context to illustrate cases are genuinely rising, rather than the argument:
We’re seeing more cases because our testing capacity has gone up.
The % of tests positive are consistently rising across Pillar 1 (NHS & PHE testing) & 2(community)

In case you’re not prepared to do your own test, and being told how to do the test over the phone, here’s a thread with instructions to make it as stressless as testing can be.
Please share: it may help others 👇

This is the kit you get.
Lots right?
More confusing when the guy phoning you tells you about a test tube, which is a sample pot, called a plastic vial on the instructions.... 🤯

Lead by Example.
We learned together and qualified as medical professionals together.
I’ve broken this one a few times in the name of banter.
We’ve more in common than we take for granted, and we get through this career together.

Give colleagues the specific and relevant bits they’ll need when transferring care.
How you’d want it if it were coming your way.
