One cool feature of Bluesky is the feeds (as well as hashtags) so you can curate how you find content. Have collated several GP-adjacent hashtags into one 'GP and Primary Care' feed. #GeneralPractice#PrimaryCare#GPSky#BJGP#FamilyMedicinebsky.app/profile/did:...

Text: GP and Primary Care

This feed is for posts with hashtags related to general practice and primary care. 

These are included: #GeneralPractice #PrimaryCare #GPSky #FamilyMedicine #BJGP

Reposts are not included. 

(If you like this feed then, well, like it! ā¤ļø)
