Hospitals and Healthcare
There are many challenges facing hospitals and healthcare in the modern world we are living in. I've created this curation collection to save articles that help me understand what modern health in society is.  The articles here are general in nature and placed here to promote discussion. We advise that you talk with your health professional before changing any of your medication or treatment options.  Any of the online courses listed here may (or may not) be open for access or enrolment. Most are free to browse, some may charge a small fee if you wish to receive a certificate or record of learning.   Every effort is made to ensure that these links are up to date and be aware that some of these articles may be behind a 'paywall'. If you can’t get into an article, email me and I may be able to assist.  Views are my own.

What do GPs think of Rishi Sunak's plan to strip them of sick note powers?

What do GPs think of Rishi Sunak's plan to strip them of sick note powers? | Hospitals and Healthcare | Scoop.it
Rishi Sunak has announced plans to trial stripping GPs of their power to sign people off work, as he attacked the UK's "sick note culture" in a speech about welfare.

Instead he wants specialist work and health professionals to issue fit notes as part of a broader aim to make sick notes harder to obtain.

Doctors' union the British Medical Association (BMA) said fit notes were carefully considered before they are written and criticised Mr Sunak's "hostile rhetoric" on the issue.
