🚨GPs to vote in ballot on taking collective action 🚨

General Practice asking members to vote YES for:
- Safe and legal collective action
- Backing the partnership model
- Expert generalism
- Funded nurses and GP jobs
- Safe working and more practices

Having failed on its promise to deliver 6000 more GPs by 2024, the government is quietly replacing GPs with non-medics.

Over half of all surgery appointments are now with non-GP staff such as PAs.

It’s an astonishing, wholesale change to NHS care - without patient consent.

🧵Briefings from the chairs of our Consultants, SAS and Junior doctors committees scheduled to begin at 3pm.

We will also be live tweeting this section of the committee hearing from here 👇👇

From before day 1 doctors are being treated like cut and paste numbers in a spreadsheet. The only way we can stand up to those who count on us not fighting back is through a strong union

As FM, John Swinney's top priority must be to start the pay negotiations Scottish Government committed to with BMA Scotland

A swift refocusing & return to negs are essential. If that doesnt happen, the path towards industrial action for doctors in Scotland is clear

Tim Ricketts 4000 GP trainees coming out this summer, barely a couple of hundred jobs advertised across the UK. Yet patients complain they can’t see get to see a GP. My job interview was against 27 other GPs, colleagues have reported interviewing against 40+ other GPs..

But there are plenty

Imagine doing 5 years of university (often more) to work in one of the most highly sought jobs in the world. Everywhere except in the UK where there must be too many doctors as 730 new graduates currently have no details on their job with 3 months to go

Just to emphasis further how ludicrous this is, England has one of the lowest proportions of doctors to inhabitants. Why are we actively pushing doctors away?

“Doctors will not tolerate further delay in our negotiations and betrayal of our agreement will lead to an irreparable loss of trust in this government.”

Patients need doctors
Doctors need jobs.
The govt will tell you that they have a Workforce Plan, that they are training more doctors, but
they don't apparently have a plan to employ them.
This is horrible for the doctors involved. What a stupid waste.
