We're at a crossroads, says @liamloftus.bsky.social. Carry on as we are, partnership won't exist in 15 years. Young GPs like the positive things which come with partnership, but the risk/reward ratio is skewed too heavily to risk - the financial cost, the personal toll. #NTSummit

What does @becksfisher.bsky.social think then? Partnership won't be the dominant model in 15 years. The financial challenges in the system are probably too great, trust has been lost since the 2004 contract. We need to plan actively for alternatives. To do that, we need clarity of purpose. #NTSummit
