"...objections have been around for many years, preceding the advent of their adoption of Physician Associates. Indeed, it was a doctors-only GMC that made this decision. So to repeat the same exercise ... and expect different results may not be the wisest solution."

GPs fortunate enough to have jobs are overworked, potentially leading to inefficiencies and underperformance. Meanwhile, those without jobs are left in limbo, jeopardizing their well-being and the future of general practice itself.

We’re calling for all red tape removed from ARRS funding to support flexible hiring of GP locums, better, bigger premises, and proper career and workforce support to significantly improve workload and return the joy to being a GP again. Full story: www.nasgp.org.uk/practices/20...

But this change in gear is really only going to help us catch up to where we should have been years ago; general practice is still in the slow lane, and this funding is still nowhere near enough what we need to tackle decades of under investment.

New GP contract for England has just been announced. This boost in funding for general practice in England is hopefully enough for practices to confidently change up a gear, and leave behind most of the constraints that came with the original ARRS funding. But – 🧵

Our data shows that when a platform like LocumDeck is used by GP locums and practices to share locum availability, the number of sessions worked per month has remained resilient for over three years, despite practices in our funded areas having the same core funding and same access to ARRS funding.
