It is a "scandal" that, at a time when patients are crying out for doctors, so many newly-qualified GPs cannot find work - Royal College of General Practitioners figures show that the average unemployed newly-qualified GP has applied for 13 jobs 😭😭😭 Audible murmur of shock in the auditorium #RCGPAC #RCGPAC2

@#rcgpac24

#rcgpac #rcgpac24 Kamila Hawthorne tells us about the importance of mentoring and encouraging colleagues, and how we must make sure we don't pull the ladder up behind us.

Powerful and emotional plenary session to close the day. Three extraordinary, brave, honest people tell their stories with tears and hope woven in. We, as healers, can use our own deep healing to inform our practice. There were tears. #RCGPAC24

#rcgpac #rcgpac24 The microphones have been removed from the auditorium & all questions have to be submitted through the conference app. Wes Streeting tells us "I always welcome challenge", but is apparently too afraid to hear the anger and upset in GPs' voices as we question him

#rcgpac #rcgpac24 Here's what I wanted to say to Wes Streeting, had he not been too cowardly to hear the anger and disdain in my voice as I said it:

Well done Kamila Hawthorne, for telling Wes Streeting that industrial action is the remit of The BMA, not Royal College of General Practitioners, and that if he wants collective action to end he needs to speak to the BMA and work something out 👏👏👏 #RCGPAC24 #RCGPAC

Heather Ryan Kamila Hawthorne Wes Streeting The BMA Royal College of General Practitioners Collective Action is just decliningextra contractual work so that we can concentrate on do out job better. The fact that the #NHS has relied on GPs doing other peoples' jobs for them for so long is the real scandal that harms patients. #RCGPAC24 #RCGPAC

‘Two things can be true at the same time’; Wes Streeting reflects on the vital & historic contribution to health and social care from immigration over decades; and we have at the same time become too reliant recently on overseas recruitment of HCPs #RCGPAC24

#RCGPAC24 listening to Wes Streeting address conference, with a promise to attend next year as well, a commitment to engagement. Questions from the floor include estates, fellowships, visas and workforce planning.

As appears usual in my family, I find out that a sibling has written a book fortuitously... 😉

Every time I see the link to the kidney disease app, I have a tiny moment of thinking that AI has caught up with me and knows what erratic behaviour is coming up next...

Exciting PhD opportunity for any aspiring academic GP…
