I do healthcare stuff, mainly with GPs - takes pictures, travels, listens to music and enjoys a good read - modern history and previous in relief aid …I forgot to mention the food, wine, coffee and good company. A Londoner now living on the edge of Bath 🏳️🌈
John McKay worked at Marylebone in the 1980s but at weekends he was a driver on the Bluebell Railway in Sussex. A gentleman of the first order, it was my privilege to join him on the footplate for a day. #portrait #filmphotography #35mm #traindriver #railwayphotography #steamtrain

Last night’s gig, discussion on getting early COPD diagnosis and intervention out into the community.
When aGP practice sends an AccuRx/Systmone invite to book an appointment in the next 7-14 days, and there’s none available for over three months…it tells me that the IT and process needs a rethink, not that they don’t have appointments. #nhs #primaryhealthcare #healthpolicy #gpsurgery
So @gwr.com could you explain to me why, when I turned up at 00.16 at Bath Spa for the 00.20 train towards Westbury, that the entire station was locked and I had to take a taxi? #railtravel #rail #trains #bathspa
I’m getting my head around things like this in the context of it having been published around the time my house was built. 😳

One of the challenges of fixing NHS dental care is that few of the directors/managers based in in ICBs (responsible for commissioning dental services) have much understanding of dental providers and their NHS contract. Dental is now crudely lumped together with pharmacy and opticians (POD). #NHS
I did consider making a speech about tackling poverty, taxing the rich, nationalising utilities and properly funding the NHS and social care, but then I thought... nah, just go full Enoch Powell.

Measles has now hit 800+ cases in the USA across 24 states. Montana has reported its first case since 1999. Should we be requiring visitors to the UK from the USA to provide evidence of vaccination before boarding flights? #healthpolicy #publichealth #DoHSC
RFK Jr. is literally setting the foundation for some Hans Asperger-level Nazi euthanasia campaign and my #ActuallyAutistic Jewish ass just can’t. I can’t come up with anything more cogent than this: “burden to families” and “a life not worth living” are the exact arguments that the Nazis used.
Gravel Influencer@gravelinfluencer.bsky.social · last yr.The full quote from RFK, Jr. is truly disgusting and this is 100% him calling for institutionalization of autistic people. This is horrifying.

The year is 1991 and I had just driven that borrowed grey #Moskvitch 5 hours east of Prague to the town of #Zubři in #Moravia - bald tyres and double de-clutching on a completely shot synchromesh. When #travel was an adventure 😁 #czechrepublic #easterneurope #europe #1990s #car #throwback
One Russian newspaper today: “America now has more in common with Russia than Washington does with Brussels or with Kyiv.” #ReadingRussia

It was simply a matter of time - hospital chief executives have virtually taken over our Integrated Care Board (NHS admin that sits between NHS England and front line healthcare). They’ve raided primary care funds meaning a likely end to GP led outreach. #healthpolicy #socialpolicy #nhs #healthcare
It has been almost nine years since the UK's Brexit debacle really began, and I'm still angry about it. Some people say: "It's happened; move on." I won't. My EU citizenship was literally stolen in 2016. It's like having a car stolen, but you can neither claim insurance nor replace it. #FBPE 🇪🇺
The past 24 hours have seen some massive DHSC/NHS policy shifts. As a primary care person I’m cautiously optimistic about removal of stifling layers of organisation that add no value to GP led initiative. #nhs #healthpolicy #socialpolicy #politics #primaryhealthcare #gpfederation #gpsurgery
I’m not Canadian 🇨🇦 but some years back I was given this lapel badge by the students in the choir of Providence College, Manitoba and I’m very pleased to be wearing it.
