Prof Hugh Alberti tells us about @SophieParkUCL and colleagues' seminal work about the role of the GP as a clinical teacher on undergraduate placement: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.31…

@SophieParkUCL GPs teach A LOT! Prof Alberti asks perhaps what could GPs not cover?!

I've been thinking about legacy for a while now.

Not being able to thank the founders of @sapcacuk which started 50 years ago for creating the amazing platform for primary care research is heartbreaking.

This is my journey: people who helped me in my career 🧵
At @BSMSMedSchool I had a fantastic mentor @deffley_paul back in 2009 who showed me what General Practice is and really inspired me...that I could do the job and make a difference. I still think you can.

@zoeschaedel confirmed that GP was for me in my final year of med school.
Initially in researching a career in primary care research I looked online in 2011

Pre COVID

A woman with a learning disability will likely die 18 years before a woman without a learning disability.

A man with a learning disability will likely die 13 years before a man without a learning disability.

What can we do about it?

@Amy_M_Russell @sapcacuk #sapcasm Image
Coding in primary care for learning disability isn't always consistent. Are they carried over from childhood appropriately?

Missing coding means no annual health check and no priority for vaccination

#sapcasm Image
Not everyone with a learning disability is digitally literate.

Not everyone has financial means to get to appointments.

THREAD on our new paper:

Systematic review on vaccination uptake amongst older adults from minority ethnic backgrounds with @cinibhanu @Dr_UmarChaudhry @KRW_UCL

@crageshri @fhussain73 @Azeem_Majeed @BinitaKane
Young men and women arrived from Eastern Europe, the Caribbean and the Indian subcontinent to the UK in search of better life from the late 1940’s onwards. Many arrived with little money and thick coats to protect themselves against the bitter cold.

Fast forward half a century and those young men and women have grown older, had children and now stand alongside us facing the greatest threat for a generation: the COVID-19 pandemic.

THREAD of my journey from burnout, meeting @AmandipSidhu2 @DoctorsDistress, mentoring @medic_cd who presented internationally and wrote a paper which was published this week!

Paper: content.iospress.com/articles/work/…

I remember working as a junior doctor and on one particular rotation I ‘fell out of love’ with medicine.

For the senior doctors I didn’t think I mattered or existed to them.

Everyday, I was unsupported and went home feeling tearful, hopeless and the ready to quit medicine.
Luckily I had the support of colleagues, friends and family.
