Thanks to all of the #PracticeManagers that completed our survey, I don't know how #GeneralPractice can survive this when you see the numbers. We want to pay our staff fairly, to do this the people that will lose out are #patients. We will have to reduce staff number to balance the books

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

Being unwell is hugely challenging, it’s hard enough without the Govt making it harder 7% fewer GPs with 20% less funding (£/patient) to provide care Closing local pharmacies & big chains leaving (Lloyds) 111 directs you back somewhere else Hospitals blocked & fewer beds Ask MPs for better #Medsky

As GPs we are very familiar with supporting our patients when demands tip them into crisis Sadly many GPs find themselves in this position, with increasing demands, little support & failure of leadership to listen & provide what’s needed How many more leaving will it take? #Medsky #GeneralPractice

Lessons from England’s National Health Service. Tldr: the UK NHS is in principle a great model but is now precarious, undermined by austerity and redisorganisation. Primary care is critical to the whole thing but is facing huge risks. www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Lessons from England’s National Health Service | NEJM
The NHS in England has historically delivered high quality at low cost, but recently, its performance has declined. The challenges facing the NHS hold potential lessons for the United States.

GPs work for the NHS, provide services for the NHS, are paid by the NHS for 90% of income This is a key & important difference with private healthcare providers They are not shareholders taking the profit, they are the workers providing the patient care #MedSky #RCGP lowdownnhs.info/explainers/a...
