Clare Gerada: influence on UK medical practice and ME/CFS management

Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2024:

 

Oof…
I can’t help but feel the NHS and Drs in Distress deserve better. But this seems like a worthwhile use of their time at least.

 

At last they have found their true calling.

 

Professor Dame Clare Gerada returns to her role as guardian of general practice. She has a column on page 20 of the Times ( hard copy) today, entitled "GPs need support if primary care is to do all it should".

It references GP vote to take industrial action, calls GP service " the jewel in the crown "of the NHS.
It continues with exaggerated validation of GP service, and emphasises the reduction in GP resources over the last 5 years comparing it with the rise in number of hospital Consultants, and the overall reduction in community services compared with the growth in hospital based care.

 

It is a decade since getting a bus has been an option for me.
