Practices in England are being asked to take part in a further action, alongside ongoing action on data sharing agreements.

This month’s action asks practices to remove or ignore non-contractual medicines optimisation software, which may fall outside of the remit of the ICB.

We need action to protect the family doctor model.

A bright idea 💡
Bringing back the family doctor means:
✔ Better continuity
✔ More GP appointments
✔ More practice nurses
✔ Care delivered closer to home
Investing in primary care = better, safer care.
