In the UK there has been a 44% increase in the number of patients per GP. These numbers are worse in more deprived areas. We need more GPs to addresss health inequalities Kamila Hawthorne #RCGPAC24 plenary talk

We cannot support the government proposal of a 49% increase in hospital consultants with only a 4% increase in GPs. 90% of healthcare contacts occur in general practice! Serious investment is needed in General Practice to ensure its survival. Kamila Hawthorne talks at #RCGPAC24

Nonspecific symptoms pose a diagnostic challenge to primary care cancer diagnosis and can result in repeat pre-diagnostic GP presentations. New interventions are needed to help pick up these cancers earlier. Thomas Round 💙 #RCGPAC2024 YoryosLyratzopoulos
