Great to attend East Lindsey District Council oversight committee today to talk about all things General Practice in Lincolnshire. Challenges we face ✅ How to support GP in Lincolnshire ✅ What patients need ✅ Risks of the NHS 10-Year plan in Lincolnshire ✅ Lincolnshire LMC
GP teams work tirelessly to immunise children despite DNAs & non-engagement. Multiple invites & personalised approaches. Information is clear = immunisation schedule. RCPCH don’t blame us for wider system failing. Lincolnshire LMC General Practice #teamGP pulsetoday.co.uk/news/clinical-…
Really useful session talking to Lincolnshire Patient Council today on the challenges of GP and what we and our patients need. Building understanding and support for general practice from PPGs. @lincolnshirelmc NHS Lincolnshire ICB 💙
Positive meeting today with ULHT Haematology over a potential locally commissioned service for MGUS and CLL monitoring in GP. Viably commissioned services close to the patient by the GP team who know them best is the kind of left shift we need. Lincolnshire LMC ✅✅✅
Preparing deflection to blame us. 🤦 If NHS fails, it’s not down to us.💪 If NHS fails, it’s on Wes Streeting and HMG.✅ For the nation’s health, value us with real investment, not soundbites. General Practice Lincolnshire LMC theguardian.com/society/2025/s…
Today GPCE committee had laser focus on the clear & imminent risks to practices: 1st Oct online access ✅ 1st Oct GP Connect ✅ NHS 10-year plan ✅ Government need to listen as we announce we are in DISPUTE 💪 More to follow. Lincolnshire LMC Humberside LMC General Practice
Great to update the brilliant Lincolnshire PMs on the contractual changes of 1st October. All need to know the risks and for Wes Streeting to agree that patient & staff safety must take priority over his GP access agenda. Lincolnshire LMC The IGPM KayKeane FRSA MIGPM (she/her) #SafetySafetySafety
My local convenience shop is ⬆️ 🫰& offers ⬇️ services than a supermarket. Convenience = ⬆️ 💷 Wes Streeting & Stephen Kinnock. Healthcare should be about quality & safety not convenience & haircuts. General Practice Lincolnshire LMC pulsetoday.co.uk/views/2025-26-…
Simply unbelievable. HMG deploys UNSAFE contractual changes ✅ HMG tells patients to complain if GP doesn’t comply with UNSAFE changes ✅ HMG flagrantly risking patient safety ✅ HMG wants votes at any cost. 🤦 Lincolnshire LMC General Practice pulsetoday.co.uk/news/2025-26-c…
Despite the clear need and benefit of this, The Labour Party and HM Treasury don’t think GPs are good value for money. They clearly know value with the £532k rebrand of the GOV.UK logo 🤦 Lincolnshire LMC General Practice
Unlimited appointment requests + no more GPs = waiting lists “End the 8am rush” = create GP waiting lists. We warned Wes Streeting Stephen Kinnock The Labour Party Maybe listen to General Practice. We are the experts in how changes impact. #safetynotvotes Lincolnshire LMC thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…
“Plough on regardless” 🤦♂️ Ignore the warnings 🤦♂️ First Hairdressers & now Cartels 🤦♂️ If we had control of “prices” of services, patient health & GP would flourish. Fancy supporting that Wes Streeting? Lincolnshire LMC General Practice gponline.com/streeting-atta…
Wes Streeting was warned. Help not hinder ❌ ⬇️ appts for patients ✅ ⬆️ staff work & stress ✅ GP could flourish 📈 Do something historic for voters 🤞🏻 Listen, invest & trust us 🙏 Lincolnshire LMC Humberside LMC General Practice bma.org.uk/bma-media-cent…
20% ⬆️ requests 🟰 ⬆️ clinician time triaging 🟰 200,000 ⬇️ appointments a day 🟰 Poorer access 🟰 Poorer outcomes 🟰 ⬆️ Patient frustration & ⬆️ Staff stress Is this the legacy The Labour Party Wes Streeting Stephen Kinnock want? pulsetoday.co.uk/news/2025-26-c…
Are HMG distancing themselves from the evidence of General Practice to claim plausible deniability when Wes Streeting plans for GP fail? The Labour Party your voters trust doctors & know who has their best interests at ❤️ Lincolnshire LMC pulsetoday.co.uk/news/politics/…
General Practice has working patiently, openly & in best interests of patient safety throughout. Lack of progress & broken promises by HMG are the cause. Don’t try to divide our great profession when GPs need each other more than ever Wes Streeting pulsetoday.co.uk/news/politics/…
