Meet and moan

So we managed out first GP group meet for ages and over curry talked shop.

Lots of frustrations with communication between hospital and primary care. Lots of worries about local plans to put groups of GPs into groups working together.

Then we had a debrief about an ENT update course Ally had been on and talked about ENT examination, cholesteatoma diagnosing acoustic neuroma and Bells Palsy.

None of this put us off our curries I'm pleased to say!

Today a 2 page piece in the BJGP about training at White House Surgery where I have been locuming this week, by my former trainer, Richard Watton.
A good read and explains why there are so many young people working each time I go there !

Julian Tudor Hart

A letter from JTH in this months BJGP. As usual very clever but also straightforward and making important points. I like that he looks to history to solve dilemmas of the era. I also like that the answer he finds to alot of problems is solid generalism and good general practice.

I also appreciate his truly left wing politics!

Reminds me to get back into his book from the 80s I bought before Christmas.
