August over 3000 GPs completed their training There are currently only 250 job GP roles available across 6277 GP practices 🏴 Patients have said GP access as the most important concern in #NHS provision @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social but still minimal investment in access, just empty words

The GMC clearly sees Malholtra as being in the “too difficult” pile. He’s Andrew Wakefield for the TikTok era.
Honestly, Aseem Malhotra really is a compulsive liar. Turns out he is *not*, as he told the press, the MAHA's new chief medical advisor - but, rather, merely that of a lobby group targeting the MAHA (with quackery & anti-vax views, no doubt). The shameful inaction of the GMC still stands.

‘Bring back the family Doctor’ Well the numbers behind recent headlines are deceptive 1500 extra GPs really just 300 Advise & Guidance isn’t new it’s been updated & won’t affect patient choice or waiting lists @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social more honesty is needed when informing the public

Seriously, what’s the plan here?
First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year. “'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'" Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...
