Second this We deliver millions each day - not news What is news, is cutting GP appointments to deliver an impossible target, putting patients at risk @GMB @BBCr4today
@NickFerrariLBC @LBC Hi Nick - Stephen Kinnock has visited 2 practices to highlight the success of online booking The 1st turned the system off at 6pm The 2nd doesn’t accept requests after 4.30 unless it’s an admin These are the safeguards requested by BMA Both breach the contract Call me!

Wes doesn’t think it’s a problem that the 2 practices highlighted as examples of GP Online access would likely breach of the new GP contract They are also examples of the safety requested by the BMA in terms of using online forms Wes & Stephen failed to listen to concerns
We're ending the 8am scramble. Nearly all GP practices now let you contact them online and we're supporting the rest to catch up. @SKinnock explains how it's working at The Forest Surgery in East London. More: https://t.co/qHdUeAqlsR

In 2022, my friends at @DAUK_GP and I collated feedback from GPs about their previous CQC inspections. These are not “system aberrations”. @lizzie_toberty
@wanderingwelch
@DrHFRyan @CareQualityComm @BolaOwolabi8 Didn’t think I would stand up for the CQC but I guess I am. They do try their best. Having said that there are always systemic aberrations. One thing I have to admit that rather can coming straight out and calling a spade a spade, there is this propensity to try and drown people

@TheDA_UK were also present at this briefing. It was full of information that the public are not aware of, so I guess the next question is to @Keir_Starmer and @UKLabour, will you deliver an urgent emergency briefing on what climate change actually means to the UK population?
Arriving at the National Emergency Briefing, hearing from nation's experts on the interlinked climate and nature crises. Our economy is built on nature — without a liveable climate, nothing holds. #NationalEmergencyBriefing Full event details 👇 https://t.co/GrQO3FVnTE

🩺 | “We hope patients, GPs, community teams, and MPs will see the incredible benefits of a fully funded and functioning general practice. “The time is now. Your GP, here for you.” Our call for a new patient-centred GP contract https://t.co/lBRCCatKPV
dauk.org
Doctors Association UK (DAUK) is calling for the Government to introduce a new GP contract that puts patients at the centre of care.
YOUR GP - HERE FOR YOU - A NEW CONTRACT It’s time for a new contract between you, your GP & the Government For too long GP have been restricted in providing care by top down contracts with limited funding, which don’t put patients first GPs need your support in providing this
