"Possibly the reason that it’s so hard to persuade GPs to increase their sessions is that many of them are already working full time, albeit over three days." Dr Helen Salisbury on the reality of GPs' working hours bmj.com/content/386/bm…
GP - BIG IS NOT ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL This is a reminder to Wes Streeting MP Stephen Kinnock that in General Practice smaller practices often provide better support & continuity of care for patients Don’t listen to Tony Blair or Lord Darzi if they tell you otherwise
Ollie Burton Melville is a dangerous character who has done and will continue to do a great deal of damage to the profession Massey may be worse but Melville is a doctor himself and so is a traitor
GP partners were forced to make the ‘devastating’ decision to hand back the contract for their practice, due to 10yrs of financial cuts ICB has decided to award the contract to Malling Health, after a ‘robust procurement process’ Could have just funded GPs pulsetoday.co.uk/news/practice-…
What a kick in the teeth to these local GPs who tried their best to keep the practice going, had to throw in the towel only to see their local commissioners hand the contract over with a huge uplift of funding. Wonder if Wes Streeting MP is aware… pulsetoday.co.uk/news/practice-…
NHS England has cut £35 per patient per year from GP practices over the last 8 years in real terms cuts The Partners weren’t asking for this but the new practice will cost £40 more per patient per year You can’t make it up unless you are NHS England when you can
The ICB couldn't support the existing local GPs, however they have managed to find another £40/patient for a private provider to do the work instead. That is a massive uplift! Massive. Wes Streeting MP please do take a look at what is happening up and down the country.
Shocking stuff Wes Streeting MP
General Practice is being destroyed by corporate privatisation and underfunding, deliberately. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. RCGP GMC Wes Streeting MP Keir Starmer Angela Rayner it’s heartbreaking.
