Peggy, @HighlandLMC second first time speaker of the day smashes her speech and the motion is carried unanimously in all it's parts #SLMC2023
#SLMC2023 The fantastic Dr Peggy Chua with a storming speech filled with examples (some horrifying) of poor patient experience and workload “dumping”, unresourced transfer of workload. Hung on remote consultations (but also AHPs running clinics with inadequate pathway/backup)

Remote consultations - some benefits, but secondary care shouldn’t expect GPs to pick up work when all of the clinical needs aren’t met. Peggy Chua gave an excellent speech describing the issues here at #SLMC2023 and conference agreed.

So proud of @HighlandLMC first time speaker Dr Sarah Donald - a heartfelt and authentic speech.
What an amazing account of #RuralGP from Dr Sarah Donald: dispensing (80mile roundtrip otherwise), BASICS/RTA, in/out of hours Demanding #ruralproofing of contract: workforce for 2018contract doesn’t exist rurally. Can options appraisals help? Noting the issues re 2c #SLMC2023

Highland GPs have joined GPs from across the UK to discuss the massive and urgent issues facing our profession and our ability to sustain provision of healthcare. A very apt title for this conference- “hanging on a thread” #confLMC23

Debating we need a single national formulary for Scotland, promised in 2016 Manifesto. New Zealand achieved theirs in 2012. Is prescribing really equitable in Scotland just now? Ps.13/25 pages of pharmacy first formulary is HB’s variation in emollients!🤯 #SLMC2022 @gpayrshire
