Queen baffled by school girl on scooter in hilarious resurfaced video
A bizarre clip from an old royal visit showing Queen Elizabeth II watching an elementary school pupil ride a scooter on her belly in apparent bemusement has resurfaced and gone viral.

The occasion had a poignant backdrop as it was timed to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the bombing of the school during World War I, when it was known as Upper North Street School. However, it contained a number of awkward moments, including when the queen found herself watching a school girl pull herself along with her hands while lying flat on a scooter.

GP exodus will leave a quarter of posts empty within a decade
The exodus of general practitioners could mean a quarter of posts will be vacant within a decade, new analysis suggests. The Health Foundation think tank called for urgent action as it published a forecast showing there could be thousands of vacancies across England. It found the current shortage of 4,200 full-time equivalent GPs in England is set to rise to 10,700 in 2030-31. The analysts said this could mean more than one in four of the 37,800 GP posts needed to deliver pre-pandemic standards of care would be vacant. Under a worst-case scenario, up to half of posts could be vacant and the projected shortfall could rise to more than 20,000. The researchers warned that shortages of GPs could pose a significant risk to the quality of care patients receive . It was also estimated there could be 6,400 nursing vacancies in GP surgeries by 2030/31. The Health Foundation analysis suggested the Government is unlikely to reach its 2019 manifesto target of hiring … [Read more...] about GP exodus will leave a quarter of posts empty within a decade
