The Names by Florence Knapp is undoubtedly one of my top fiction reads of 2025, it’s an amazing sliding doors type of a novel with some extremely dark themes running through around domestic abuse which fits so well with @medicalwomenuk.bsky.social and @dauk-gp.bsky.social #DAAD this month

The Names - Bedside Reading

The Names by Florence Knapp is undoubtedly one of my top fiction reads of 2025, if not my absolute top read of 2025. It is an astonishing first novel, which follows three different storylines, all bas...

Asking my hairdresser to provide unlimited haircuts for less than £3 a week, including online booking & an immediate response to emergency shave at 1min before closing That’s a NO😂😂 Meanwhile the GP practice - Wes says you must do all that & more

102,000 hairdressers in England with 40,000 salons 27,000 GPs with 6200 Surgeries 31 million people visit GPs every month a similar number have haircuts You can see the problem @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social judging by Wes’s trim he is going to the hair salon a lot more than his GP unlike many

Not In Our Name (NION) Women@nionwomen.bsky.social · last yr.

⚠️ Women in the UK don’t need to be told what danger looks like — we live it every day. ⛔ One woman is killed by a man every three days in this country (Femicide Census, 2023) ⛔ In 2023, 1.7 million women experienced domestic abuse (ONS, 2023). It is not trans people who perpetrate these crimes.

we know intimately what the real threat to women looks like. Cisgender men who abuse their power are the real threat. Not trans people. Not in our name. NION Women icon.

Love the very bones of this young person who had such a disrupted education in Y6/7 due to Covid, was diagnosed autistic in y10 and has had one hell of a few months with her dad leaving us. But she triumphed with 9 fabulous GCSEs and a place in 6th form!! Proud does not come close

Back to work tomorrow after 6 weeks of parental leave GCSE support sabbatical. Will I remember how to be a GP? Here’s hoping because I have a 7am extended access clinic to settle me in! Either way it’ll almost certainly be less stressful than teenager revision angst.

TW: child death This is so beautifully written and I suspect many of us and our colleagues will benefit from reading it. www.ncmd.info/blog/jonatha...

Can you sit beside me on my mourning bench?

Thank you to the @NCMD_England for publishing my blog. This draws on my experience as a bereaved parent. How would you respond to someone telling you that one of their children has died? Check out my blog for some thoughts from me on this. #bereavement #grief

I think #GP5T9 was our best yet. I loved chairing this incredible panel and listening to some wise, insightful and thoughtful answers to some training conundrums. If you missed it, it’s not too late to get your hands on the recordings.

Dr Hussain Gandhi@drgandalf.bsky.social · last yr.

Yesterday at GP5T9 our panel and speakers covered loads of topics, including the SCA and pass rate changes. To find out all the content grab your post recording ticket now as it closes soon: bit.ly/GP5T9

‘All doctors are poets’ Do listen to this gem of a conversation - what a great poem and such an insightful reflection. Am tempted to put pen to paper and do a paediatrician version… Thankyou @tarageorge.bsky.social

Bedside poetry: One guest, one poem, one lovely conversation. Today I’m delighted to share a conversation with Sabina Dosani about “Visit to the Vet” by Ilse Pedlar bedsidereading.buzzsprout.com/1880290/epis...

Tara George@tarageorge.bsky.social · last yr.

last minute plug for this which is live tomorrow (or on demand for 12m after) . If you were able to share with colleagues I'd be delighted.whilst primarily for GP trainers there's load there that's applicable for any medical educators and it's a bargain at £40 with 12m on demand access to recordings
