NHS GP single handed partner in deprived area 😷
United Kingdom
Joined May 2014
So half of junior Doctors dont have a job next year. This is a deliberate policy decision. Because the NHS is happy to employ Physicians Assistants at 10k MORE per annum. We have the doctors. We have the budget They opt not to employ doctors. What the hell is going on?

Labour & Wes sinking with the NHS 10yr Plan If only they had listened to those who understand how to keep the NHS afloat So much to be gained from listening to those who speak to patients every day But what would they know compared to management consultants & so called leaders

As a GP, I am not allowed to receive a pen or post-it note pad from a pharmaceutical company rep The Government banned them in case I was influenced to prescribe a certain medication This should also be banned @wesstreeting unless you have a way to justify this?

What will £100,000 get you? Minus the planning, VAT & legal fees Maybe a room in 1000 surgeries. But then you need to employ a GP full time to use the room to make 8m more appointments But there is no money for GPs so where exactly are the appointments coming from?
🆕 We're modernising over 1,000 GP surgeries to create space for 8.3 million new appointments. ⏩ This will help tackle the 8am scramble so more patients can be seen. 🌟 Part of our Plan for Change to make the NHS fit for the future. Read more: https://t.co/2hnACyR7DS

*** Just to clarify, Keir Starmer has said he is abolishing NHS England (a government management body formed in 2013), NOT the NHS in England ***

Sadly this won’t ‘bring back the family doctor’ The average cost per GP practice of NI Employers & staff costs estimated to be £40k - £260m GP core budget is £10bn - inflation at 2.6% - £260m This leaves £369m increase or 3.7% GPs have seen a 20% £/patient cut in 8yrs - £2bn
The biggest investment in General Practice for years and a reform agenda that will bring back the family doctor relationship that patients value, doctors love and drives better standards of care. My letter to GPs on what we’re trying to achieve together 👇🏻

More pilots than the RAF, horses for courses, the red tape challenge @CommonsHealth 🧵 Where’s the £22bn going - not saying yet! Promised 1000 GPs on front line in this financial year but latest figures 88 FTE only GPs need certainty on funding now @wesstreeting

Did you know that your practice receives just £112.50 per year for each patient, whatever their health needs. That’s less than the cost of an annual TV licence. It’s just 31p a day for every patient GP & practice team needs more to support patient care https://t.co/OtWcZNoMv4

Dear @wesstreeting @Jeremy_Miles I was the on call GP partner yesterday & I had to send another GP home because he was emotionally drained. That left me & 2 other GPs. I left at 20:30 also in tears. Do U realise how drained we are? Ur pushing us all to our limits!

The @LibDems & @EdwardJDavey are right. GPs across Britain are worried about the impact of the NI hike on patient care. We need urgent reassurance from @Keir_Starmer, @wesstreeting, and @DHSCgovuk that GP funding will not be put under further pressure. #PMQs #TeamGP #RebuildGP

Hospital league tables are a disastrous idea. You do not improve standards by shaming hard-working NHS staff, damaging morale and adding unnecessary stress. We should support - not scapegoat - our medics. That means giving them the resources they need to provide care for all.

Have I got this right? @UKLabour is either going to preside over the failure of general practice or 'might' use the NHS budget to pay for GP NICs So essentially going to give money back to itself? 🙄 Just how will this improve care again?
'Are you going to make GPs exempt [from the NI employer contributions increase]?' @susannareid100 challenges the Health Secretary about the Lib Dems' analysis which reports that the increase in NI employer contributions could lead to fewer GP appointments.

Government still refusing to give a timely confirmation that GPs will not be forced to cover national insurance hikes from their own pockets. Watch the urgent parliamentary question by @drlukeevans
