1637514296883019776 | When drug semaglutide gained NICE approval for weight loss last week, the press response was largely positive. Caution about long term side effects is warranted, says @mgtmccartney, and we should also consider the social pressure on people over appearance https://t.co/ul0o3GvRGM | 15 |
1637781738704216067 | Los aGLP1 en el mundo real: - Una minoría de pacientes que iniciaron AR de GLP-1 lograron una pérdida de peso de ≥5% al año. - Atención a la pérdida muscular, se observó una disminución en la masa libre de grasa.

1638846472954466305 | Great to hear from Prof Anne Mackie about the difference between case finding and national screening. @mgtmccartney Interesting blog from @felly500: https://t.co/ZefKDg1BHz One's a fishing expedition. The other is a formalised program with accountability! #capri2023 https://t.co/dc4xAcpYYO | 4 |
1637584847823577091 | @marshajdavid @georgebellstarr @Tesco If anyone wants to do their own tests via @Tesco they should also attend a private provider for the rest of their care. For an #NHS official to suggest that they then go and take up scarce GP appointments explains why the NHS is in the mess it’s in @mgtmccartney | 2 |
1638632762914779139 | “GPs cut CQC references from surgery profiles.”Same toxic outdated crap as #Ofsted. Why not? @johnghughes3 @mgtmccartney @TheBMA @gpcsup @DrSteveTaylor @Parody_RCGP @THKONP https://t.co/TRhbKlcVIk | 2 |
1638481735825358851 | @DrRJSimpson @PeeblesElouise @mgtmccartney Yep the three computer restarts in the morning stress. I’ve worked between primary and secondary care for the last 19 years and it would be nice if it was joined up properly. Surely it’s not beyond sorting? | 1 |
1638491955565928449 | @docsuzy @DrRJSimpson @mgtmccartney Also the often-artificial division between primary and community. Same patients, different IT systems. And that’s without considering the additional out of hours / ambulance service IT systems. | 1 |
1636832432874823682 | Semaglutide: should the media slim down its enthusiasm HT @mgtmccartney Yes It's not driven by science journo tho It's driven by Hope (over experience) PR machine Alot of conflicted experts Not much of a critical eye https://t.co/7e8LPZjY3H | 1 |
1637079327035490305 | @felly500 @mgtmccartney Very worrying. When it means that the solution is yet again mostly individual with a heap of other potential consequences...and relying on another drug to be provided isn't nanny state? I wonder who benefits the most... | 0 |
1637518515828584451 | @bmj_latest @mgtmccartney How do they have supplies to issue this but we can’t issue Semaglutide for diabetes due to issues with supply for the devices ? | 0 |

1637463550225444866 | @georgebellstarr @Tesco Looking at the packaging it's from this company: https://t.co/nLmbcWeuWj Some of the tests are downright misleading - H. pylori for 'stomach ulcer', PSA...limitations not discussed. @JamesTGallagher @mgtmccartney - one to cover on Inside Health? Invite @drjessicawatson? | 9 |

1638078826264625152 | Are weight loss injections the answer to tackling #obesity? We need to tackle how the world we live in fuels obesity rather than “expecting” people to put on weight "and then accept a medical intervention to treat it" @mgtmccartney https://t.co/gF23qmuGuq | 7 |
1637499525618073600 | @mgtmccartney Nope! In the process of having bloods for some of these conditions. And it's free! My GP surgery texts me, and I don't even have to speak to a medic unless necessary. | 6 |

1637503876227014662 | @mgtmccartney Ridiculous, there’s a duty as healthcare providers to make sure people aren’t wasting their own money and time on unproven rubbish that could cause all manner of health anxiety | 4 |
1638481144764157952 | Big thanks to the study team @Graham_P_Martin @KrissFearon @Paris_Connolly and Anne Campbell. And to @mgtmccartney @odo_kate @rwjdingwall for earlier discussions which lead to this study | 4 |
