Steve Barclay I’m sorry you felt the need to target General Practice in your speech, when your minister Neil O'Brien knows how constructive & pragmatic I want to be. Speak to your local GPs on our patch - online access is a natural progression, but it needs to be safe for patients.

GENERAL PRACTICE 2019-2023 3m more consults/month 1.2m more seen F2F More home visits 2m more people seen on the day All this with FEWER GPs The expectations and poor media coverage is breaking us. Support General Practice. digital.nhs.uk/data-and-infor…

95% of all NHS consultations take place within primary care on 8% of NHS budget Source: King’s Fund Health One GP appointment = £42   Average ambulance call-out = £367 Average A&E appointment = £86-£418 @DrKatie.BSky.Social The BMA Royal College of General Practitioners

We are not allowed to spend any of the £1.4bn from Government for staff on employing any new GPs or any new practice nurses. Yes, we are now seeing 1000s of unemployed GPs. This is a national disgrace. Sky News BBC Breaking News ITN Channel 4 News Edd Dawson Channel 5

The Government are only funding Additional Roles (ARRS) & telephones Whilst cutting GP funding by 20% £/patient in real terms since 2016 The result is fewer GPs, GP leaving or unemployed Remember the Govt promised 6000 more GPs in 2019 manifesto - instead we have 2000 fewer

Did you know as a GP partner we no longer receive additional funds to hire GPs but do paramedics, physician associates & care coordinators? GP trainees are qualifying with no jobs to go to, yet patients are struggling to book GP appointments. Crazy right? BBC Cambridgeshire @CambsLMC

BREAKING/ This is a scandalous moment in UK medicine. Over 80 Fellows of Royal College of Physicians have just declared their lack of confidence in the College. Why? Because they believe its stance on physician associates (PAs) is recklessly failing patients. Pls read - this matters. 🧵

Today I had the privilege of talking to over 250 year 11 students at Bottisham village college about sexual health. They asked intelligent questions and were attentive throughout to learn about safe sexual practices for a happy health life. Bottisham VC

Happy Birthday Mr Keith junior Ben Keith friend and treasured brother. Look back at these gorgeous golden locks ❤️

I completely back @DrKatie.BSky.Social in her role as chair . whoever is the muppet on GPC doing this General Practice hang your head in shame , get some perspective and jog on.

Today I was invited to The Houses of Parliament to discuss the NHS 10 year plan. Increase practice level funding, give partners autonomy to employ who they need, protect the partnership model, remove unlimited liability to open innovation & AI opportunities #rebuildGP
