Sure it will have its place in healthcare, but in my opinion it really won't have very much of an impact in how things are already done. If you really are ill then you can always ask for a home visit from your GP, go to the out of hours services, go to pharmacy first or… Continue reading Uber For Healthcare!

Innovation Is Dead
Just thinking about all those great scientists and doctors from the past is so inspiring! Just in the last 100 years we've created the vaccine for polio, sent humans to the moon, the range of medications we have has vastly increased and then there's IT - the Internet is, in my opinion the next industrial… Continue reading Innovation Is Dead

NHS Hacks
What happens when clinicians working in the NHS collide with coders and software developers? Awesome stuff is what! That's the whole point of NHS Hacks - different fields working together in a "hackathon" to create a working prototype of an idea which could really improve patient care. The hackathon starts off with clinicians pitching an… Continue reading NHS Hacks
NHS Startup Part VII – Don’t Make Me Think
So I met with my software developers today and I think they've pretty much nailed it. It was actually really incredible, because I hardly gave them any direction in what I wanted the app to look like. I just told them what functionality I wanted in detail and told them to be as creative as they… Continue reading NHS Startup Part VII – Don’t Make Me Think

NHS Startup Part VI – Screw It, Let’s Do It
I've just given the green light to my developers to go ahead and start building our product. It was a bank holiday weekend the last three days and each night I've been tossing and turning. So many thoughts go through your head when you're about to sink most of your savings into a project. But… Continue reading NHS Startup Part VI – Screw It, Let’s Do It
Are We Going Around In Circles?
I was having induction at my new Family Practice a month ago. This was so I understood how the practice worked before I started seeing my patients on my own. Insanely insightful seeing all these patients go on their journey after being seen by the doctor. Doctors have to collect data and trial a lot of… Continue reading Are We Going Around In Circles?
The Instructions Will Kill You
"You will be part of the crash team and if you are the first on the scene will need to lead the cardiac arrest scenario" "You will be involved in the major trauma calls and carry out procedures such as chest drains etc." "If a patient turns violent then you must press the panic button… Continue reading The Instructions Will Kill You
The Worst Thing That Could Happen to a Doctor
Being a GP is tricky because anything could walk through your door. My yesterday evening clinic for example had a mother who presented with inflamed polymorphic eruption of pregnancy, a patient who had been bitten by insects while gardening, a patient with a flare up of her rheumatoid arthritis, a one year old with viral… Continue reading The Worst Thing That Could Happen to a Doctor
