How many unnecessary investigations and appts in this pathway? In what alternate reality does someone have a test results by the time they've done their shopping? This example will cost a fortune. For this sort of choice availability, you need capacity in the system. La la land!!!

So this is the new great idea🤔 I’m pretty sure if Sarah had seen a GP she wouldn’t have needed to have a CT scan, no need to speak to the ENT registrar & yes it could be managed in the community Why does NHS England always underestimate the skills of GPs? www.england.nhs.uk/long-read/re...

Great analysis. But we should be showing this to all our children. This behaviour occurs in all walks of life, not just politics, and the cycle needs to be broken.

Currently General Practice only gets 6% of the NHS budget but does 90% of the work (only 5% of all drs & nurses are in GP). The GP contract is worth £620million less than it was 5 yrs ago. We are asking for an 11%uplift to bring us back to the level of funding we had 5yrs ago.

Sarah Jacques @drspanielpaws.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

Invest in General Practice. Currently funding is 30p/pt/day! Invest just over £3 per month per head to achieve a return to real terms funding, last seen in 2015. GPs will do the rest. This is just the price of a cup of coffee. Support the partnership model which is the most efficient part of the NHS

There needs to be more of a sense of urgency from the government. We've already lost 1000 GP practices. If we lose more, the NHS collapses.

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

The average number of patients to GP is 2300, a safe limit is considered 1800 There are some areas this is so much worse & disproportionately affects areas of deprivation Closures of practices mean other GPs struggle as it’s virtually impossible to close a list We need a safe limits for all #MedSky

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 #GeneralPractice youtu.be/Tds7ML2OfY8?...

I love Ian Hislop but it’s worth noting that most of us would balk at the prospect of publicly admonishing a wrongdoer whose conduct you condemn in this way. I did it once to the UKIP/Reform/Brexit twerp Richard Tice but that took exactly zero guts. This is speaking truth to actual power…

ARRS slammed at #LMCConf Instead of expanding it, Partners, Sessional and Registrars united that GPs should be practice based and appropriately paid, to keep high quality and continuity in care. The funding needs to move back to General Practice. #RestoreTheCore #GP

General Practice is struggling to deliver for patients. Yet, we are the first port of call for 1.4 million patients a day. We have fewer GPs and practices. Without support for NI hike, like rest of #NHS has, GP practices are at risk of closing. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Tax hike could push surgeries ‘over the edge', says GP

A doctor who represents 300 GP practices says many would be forced to cut back on staffing or close.

BREATHE Over the years my work as a Dr has felt like this, working in isolation, occasionally coming up for breath, occasionally catching a colleague and having a brief chat. But then head down and carry on. I suspect it’s been much worse over the past few years for many.
