Today, the #RebuildGP campaign is at Parliament, where Cogora is launching their new #GPWorkforceReport.   GPs will be meeting with MPs from across the political spectrum to talk about the crisis in #GeneralPractice and what this means for patients.   #TeamGP

The Jubilee Room in Westminster Hall is filling up with GPs, MPs, and colleagues from across the NHS.   Later, we’ll be hearing from Cogora’s Jaimie Kaffash, Dr Simon Opher MP, and Dr Rachel Warrington about how we can work together to #RebuildGP.   #TeamGP #GPWorkforceReport

GP & Labour MP @simonforstroud.bsky.social speaks from his experience in #GeneralPractice about the urgency of the crisis in the profession. “Continuity of care is a really important part of our job as GPs. The best way to incentivise this is to have a stable general practice.” #GPWorkforceReport

GP CRISIS Summary: Not enough funding, not enough GPs in work, GP unemployment, too much focus on additional roles at the expense of patients being able to access GPs Cause: Government & NHS England failure to prioritise patient care in the community @dauk-gp.bsky.social

DAUK were part of discussion today with @drstevetaylor.bsky.social @drspanielpaws.bsky.social To #RebuildGeneralPractice

The plea from GPs is to fund core General Practice Stop top down approaches to primary care End the fixation with super practices & focus on patients receiving good quality continuity of care from the existing GP practices Restore the £35pa per patient cut from care @dauk-gp.bsky.social

Day 1 - Meet the Team

🧵some background relevant to the debate this week led by @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social 👇

GPs absolutely will not 'promote' assisted dying. Parliament is in a very early stage of establishing what assisted dying for terminally ill adults will look like. We can all have a say in shaping this: unions, regulatory bodies, and patient advocacy groups will be integral to the conversation.

This is so important & fits the priorities of DHSC & Wes Streeting with digital>analogue Digital transformation is too important We must GIRFT! @DavidGWrigley @BMA_GP @bengoldacre @rcgp @DrMarkColey @marcus_baw @medConfidential @Patient_Data @LabourTogether

A fantastic graph showing 2 things. 1. If you're poor, your GP is probably overwhelmed 2. Even if you're not poor, your GP is dealing with more workload than even the poorest areas in 2016. #Medsky #publichealth #inequality

‘Bring back the family Doctor’ appears to be just a election slogan Just 88 GPs employed of the ARRS 1000 GPs in latest figures published today digital.nhs.uk/data-and-inf... NI rises forcing GP practices to cut staff with average cost £40,000 to practices 20% cut £/patient in past 8yrs by

GP Crisis NHS Dentistry model? 1990s just 6% of Dentists were private providers (mainly London) now it’s 70% NHS GP contract needs massive funding increase as it’s been cut 20% in 8yrs UK already seeing increasing adverts for Private GP appts £50-£100 #NHS GPs get £115/yr/patient for everything

NHS England has neglected the fact that the increase in cash terms includes payments to PCNs These payments aren’t available for GP practices to use Stripping this away, practices have had real terms cuts in income Fewer GPs employed, practices closing and many more considering closures or cut backs

I am enjoying Bluesky so far, though unless a celebrity, it's hard to build the same strong following. That said, I plan to focus on patient safety issues here more than on X. Coming soon: PA cancer scandal. Please connect me with press, oncologists, and patient safety groups on Bluesky! Thanks 😁

GMC Workforce Report Some of the most challenging aspects of this report are the low numbers of Doctors completing Foundation Year 2 who enter directly into training programs, now representing just 1 in 4 (25%) down from 2 in 3 (67%) in 2012. www.gmc-uk.org/news/news-ar...

This reliance on overseas Doctors may to be problematic in the years ahead, since overseas doctors are more likely to move abroad after completing their training, compared to their UK counterparts.

Very much agree. I wrote this3 years ago&very little (if anything)has changed “We’ve normalised really,really bad working conditions for NHS staff for decades so that now going for a wee in the middle of your shift feels like a treat.” @katestakes.bsky.social www.independent.co.uk/voices/nhs-b...

GP practices are providing 5m more appts per month than 2019 30m half the population A&E numbers remain relatively stable But with 7m waiting hospital treatment, 1.6m investigations and an extra 500k long term sick GP practices are struggling to meet demand If you can’t get an appt someone else did

Can’t get an appt with a GP? Yet there are 1000s of GPs out of work or struggling to find work NHS England have cut the equivalent of 2 full-time GPs in funding from an average practice, whilst funding ‘additional’ roles via ARRS £2bn cut in real term Not additional then🤷🏻‍♂️ youtu.be/tI69wqP1_3g?...
