As we go into the winter, GPs are facing a crushing workload. New funding to help patients and practices would be welcome, but yesterday's announcement is not new funding, again we are being asking to do more with existing budgets.

The Government have recommended yet another sub-inflationary pay rise for an already beleaguered medical profession. Cutting pay is not the way to tell a workforce you value them.

Following written confirmation from Government, we’re entering formal talks and temporarily pausing further escalation of collective action. Our focus remains a better contract, increased core funding, and tackling unsafe workload pressures in GP.

[The BMA @TheBMA]

This is the Government's opportunity to reset relations with GPs. We need a confirmed roadmap for:
> £50 per patient increase in core practice funding
> Clarity on turning unsafe demand into manageable care for our patients.

Following the change in political leadership, GPCE has decided not to escalate collective action in September.

Giving the newly elected officer team time to meet the new DHSC ministers and seek assurances for GPs. GPCE will review progress and next steps on 17 September.

The Health Bill could have serious implications for patient confidentiality, trust and health data.

GP practices in England are taking action this August to protect the future of general practice, ensuring patients can continue to access the care they need.

The loss of rural GP practices puts patients at risk. Over the last decade we’ve lost thousands of GP partners across the country and rural practices are at particular risk. They need better protection.

[The BMA @TheBMA]

But after years of rising demand, GP numbers have barely grown compared with what patients need. Progress is welcome, but there is still a long way to go to rebuild general practice and improve access to care.

[General Practice @BMA_GP]

GPs in England SHOULD NOT feel pressured to sign up to neighbourhood arrangements before they're ready.

Here's why.

[General Practice @BMA_GP]

Sessional GPs: Understand your rights. Protect your future.

With the launch of the Neighbourhood Provider consultation, we’re aware that in many areas practices may be feeling under pressure to agree to new neighbourhood working models.

The market for locums is changing. So it’s never been more important to know your rights. https://t.co/ePa0g2hn9T

For salaried GPs who care for young children, annual leave entitlements are often not enough. And many GPs in this position are unaware that they're entitled to unpaid parental leave.
