I find it helps to remember that the RCGP is also something like a trade union for GPs and looks after GPs' interests. These don't always coincide with the interests of patients. Edit to add - Shortages of GPs and the long hours many work and issues around funding mean that the RCGP would say...

If it helps I trust your judgement.

Thank you @Jonathan Edwards. More or less what I've just been trying to write, which I've now scrapped. but I didn't know about the chairman, but it generally it looks that way to me.

Thank you David. I can see that you are going to have to prioritise what you do between now and June and that may not be easy! There's a book in all this somewhere..

I think sometimes we're inclined to see conspiracy against us when that's not (all?) that's going on. There are other likely reasons why recruitment would be piecemeal.

I also support your letter @Trish, thank you for sending it

Thanks @Andy. I remember Sam Bromiley now.

Anyone know who Suzie Henson-Amphlett and Sam Bromiley are?

Perhaps Wessely is trying to make a reasonable point that for stressed out students taking part in enjoyable and sociable activity could be a good way of alleviating stress. I think this is old advice, isn't it? The danger is when this is taken to mean, or purposely stretched to mean, that...

But they don't want to know if 'patients and other relevant communities' notice problems with what they publish. edit to fix predictive text

I've been wondering for some time - presuming reduced deformability of RBCs and this way of measuring them pans out as a biomarker, and it's useful for diagnosis, could, for example, being a sickle cell carrier (ie asymptomatic for sickle cell but with a low percentage of deformed RBC's) affect...

I can vouch for 2 kinds of anxiety from personal experience. The kind that 'just happened' and took over my body was very strange to experience and I have had 2 episodes of it.

@Sly Saint Ok I see. I couldn't remember that bit well enough and didn't want to watch it again to check.

I'll have a look, thanks @adambeyoncelowe

Did she say Medically Unexplained Symptoms, or did she say medically unexplained symptoms? Maybe the problem is that some biopsychosocialists have misappropriated the english language.

3 fitbits in 3 years sounds annoying too and I hope the third lasts well for you, Trish. I also hope that as with many things the technology becomes cheaper as time passes.
