So this is the new great idea🤔
I’m pretty sure if Sarah had seen a GP she wouldn’t have needed to have a CT scan, no need to speak to the ENT registrar & yes it could be managed in the community
Why does NHS England always underestimate the skills of GPs

Do not herd all the GPs into one place and call them polyclinics, community NHS, NHS-Extra… whatever.
Don’t do it. myemail.constantcontact.com/…

"Many GPs would be happy to scrap the whole failed experiment of primary care networks. We’d like to make our own decisions about whether we need more nurses, GPs, pharmacists, or other roles."

pharmaceutical-journal.com/a… … says it all.
Sir John Bell he said GPs should be willing to do more unfunded work
GPs have had 20% cuts in funding £/patient, had increases in workload of 20%
Has the audacity to say that they are being obstructive despite being the most productive area of the NHS

Delighted to have been elected Chair of the Health and Social Care Select Committee @CommonsHealth.
From GPs to dentists, maternity services to mental health there is much to do. The committee has a vital role to play scrutinising govt as it tackles these challenges.

This report on the future of the NHS from the Tony Blair Institute @InstituteGC is dreadful. Rather than implement the obvious solution to increase primary care capacity (employ more GPs), the TBI wants to replace GPs with “AI-powered chatbots”. institute.global/insights/pu…

While a focus on funding and workforce is inevitable, Ara Darzi and his team must not overlook dysfunction in central structures in their review of #NHS performance, says @BecksFisher @NuffieldTrust

Hi @BBCNews
@BBCHughPym,
Do you not think this headline is misleading? The patient was sent to hospital and discharged 3 times - why the suggestion that GP failed her? What was the GP supposed to do?
Perhaps: "Patient Discharged 3 times by hospital, died"

The problem with taskification is that it's inherently reductionist and attempts to atomise complex professional encounters into their component parts, and in the process, obscures the very essence of professionalism. The practice of medicine is not a series of tasks.

The @Conservatives, @DHSCgovuk & @NHSEngland have decided, rather than being the ‘stepping stone’ year to signal safety, stability, and hope - 2024 will instead signal reduced patient access to GP services as well as likely closures of GP practices across the country.

#TeamGP, read this:
1) you have been defunded
2) HMG/NHSE hate you
3) your patients will be the collateral damage
Time to rage. Rage and act. The Gods will not save you. YOU need to save yourselves.
Join. Vote. Win. Care.
A word of caution here, folks:
👉1.9% = a disgrace
👉to match 2019/20 we need 8.7% putting this derisory offer into context
👉#FPR for salariedGPs ~ c£450m
👉Total practice income/patient has ⬆️ by only £15 in a decade -
Yes! *£15*
Nice words won’t save General Practice

Dear Dr Amanda Doyle,
It is with regret that I must inform you that the work experience kids at NHSE have got hold of your signature and added it to a letter sent out today.
I know that could not possibly put your name to the collapse of General Practice.
Kind regards
Mike

The GP committee had a good & productive meeting with @andrealeadsom
She listened to concerns regarding GP funding, ARRS, retention of GPs & the need for GPs to be supported
There are more patients per GP but also a shortage of work for GPs
She told us that GP was a priority
