Thank you to Dr Saket Priyadarshi from NHS GGC's Alcohol and Drug Recovery Services for his informative and thought-provoking presentation at last week's West Scotland Faculty Fulton Lecture.
If interested in the recording, please contact scotlandevents@rcgp.org.uk
Great to see this positive work on workforce retention and beyond delighted to have our research on IMG visa issues cited!
Hamali, Stark et al 💙
Today, we launched our retention report: 'Looking after the GPs of today to safeguard the workforce of tomorrow'.
You can read the full report here: ▶️ rcgp.org.uk/getmedia/69bbaed…
Our GPs are being stretched to the limit. Demand for GP services is increasing, but since 2015, NHSE has 1,557 fewer full-time fully qualified GPs.
It's a vicious cycle: unsustainable workloads force GPs to leave the profession, piling on the pressure on remaining staff. This strain accelerates burnout, plunging the workforce into an even deeper crisis.

A huge thank you to Dr Saket Priyadarshi for his fantastic Fulton Lecture yesterday! It was a great turnout for this thought-provoking talk and discussion.
Congratulations once again to our new fellows and this years winners of the James Scobbie and James Murray awards.

Very proud of our fantastic colleague Andrea! 🙌
‘I grew up wanting to find out about the world – I had that curiosity and a detective-work side to my character. And I’ve always had a strong sense of social justice. Those two things coalesce in medicine for me.’

Just 1 week until the Fulton Lecture with Dr Saket Priyadarshi - "alcohol and drugs, a generalist or specialist challenge"
Still some tickets left to join us for a fantastic talk and dinner at 1599 at the Royal College.
Hope to see you there!

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay
As a GP, it can feel difficult to ask for help when you are usually the one providing help to others.

Delighted to present our poster at #RCGPAC24
"Improving visa conditions to manage International Medical Graduate retention in the UK"
@rcgp please keep lobbying government, we shouldn't be losing new GPs who want to live and work here!

While I'm not leaving the profession - I am emigrating as I feel the work life balance is not sustainable currently in the UK.
"The two biggest causes were work-life balance and stress. Thousands of GPs are considering leaving the profession because of burnout ... and this is happening at all career stages."
