The New Statesman asked me to describe the crisis in general practice - the message is spreading Royal College of General Practitioners newstatesman.com/spotlight/heal…

"There is an overarching need to invest in the workforce to deliver greater numbers of doctors and allied health professionals in general practice." Published in our sister journal The British Journal of General Practice: GP workforce crisis: what can we do now? ➡️doi.org/10.3399/bjgp22…

The Fuller Stocktake report describes a compelling vision of the future of primary care services in England. The RCGP will support ICS and national leaders on its implementation. Read the RCGP’s response to the report here: rcgp.org.uk/about-us/news/…

There is a clear correlation between the number of GPs in a locality and the health of the community. Unequal distribution of GPs exacerbates pre-existing health inequalities. GP shortage leaves doctors in some areas with 2,500 patients thetimes.co.uk/article/gp-sho…

Enjoyable visit to ⁦St Leonard's Hospice⁩ today with my colleague Paula to meet Emma, Dawn and the fantastic team. The Hospice is an important and valued part of our community and it was good to have a catch-up. Looking forward to continuing to support them in any way I can 🌻

22.12.20: exactly 2 years ago & the first official day of covid vaccinating with @Nimbuscare1. I had the role of “lead GP” & it was one of the best days of my career. I worked with so many wonderful people during my vaccination shifts over the following weeks & months. #teamYORK
