It’s a plan that has considerable merit. Continuity of care is such a vital factor.

It amazing what could be achieved if we got our priorities, our workforce and our funding correct

Alan Stout There’s also an extra €8k per annum for research or QI projects, so can access up to €20k for supporting professional activities.

Just as a clue, this will be a practice with severe funding and workforce problems.
At this point you are more likely to lose it completely than the service to improve.

Higher GP numbers may improve life expectancy, finds study buff.ly/4aTuwUq #GPworkforce #UKlifeexpectancy

In world wide competitive market for Doctors we are a million miles from being competitive.

The study budget alone is mind blowing and puts us to shame

Patients deserve and GPs need a new general practice deal in England from the next Government.

Where prescriptions are free, you can easily see how GP demand and prescribing costs go up.

If we want them to be free, just make them free, a GP does not need to be part of the process

“We must care for the people who deliver care” Chief Exec of NI Ambulance Service Michael Bloomfield addresses first NIAS leadership conference since 2019 and praised staff and reflected on the impact of the past five years and pledged to improve culture to support and nurture.

Amongst the financial catastrophe, a workforce that can’t get any flatter, pending further IA and patients that are really suffering, it is reassuring (if perhaps futile) to hear our Health Minister really stand up for us all

Thank you Robin Swann it really means something

'Not enough to sustain a health service that is struggling to function effectively with a huge workload and workforce crisis, never mind address the underlaying causes of this crisis in any realistic, long-term way.'

Statement on health budget allocation: bma.org.uk/bma-media-cent…

Very, very worrying and huge implications.

We need to be upfront and honest about what patients can, or more likely can’t, expect, and also honest on how we treat and pay our staff.

Robin Swann votes against budget - leaked letter to Executive colleagues warns of dire consequences for health service newsletter.co.uk/news/politics/…

Never a decision taken lightly, but they can see clearly the effects on workforce recruitment and retention and hence any future service delivery.

Valued and treated so much better elsewhere.

If we can’t keep our Doctors, we have no NHS
