I met the leader of the BMA’s GP committee today, to listen to their concerns.
GPs have been neglected for too long. They are under-resourced, struggling to cope, and patients pay the price.
I am committed to fixing the front door to our NHS.

Can’t see a GP - blame MPs & NHS England
Core funding for GP Practices has been cut by £2bn since 2016, enough for an average practice to employ 2 GPs, a Practice Nurse & more admin staff
Instead £1.4bn on ARRS ~ additional roles but no GPs or Practice Nurses
Patients need GPs

GPC England has spoken: the current 24-25 contract offer is woefully inadequate and puts patients and staffing levels at risk.
Watch the video update from @doctor_katie on our next steps, and why GPs should join the BMA to ensure you have your say.

The Gov, despite opposition from doctors, is pressing ahead with regulating PAs & AAs under the GMC. @Jdjanogly, as my MP, please oppose the draft Anaesthesia Associates and Physician Associates Order 2024 to protect patient safety

Contrary to the wording, I & @BMA_GP GPC England did not give @uk_biobank permission to support this letter, as @rorycollins knows
Sadly, this now affects my trust in how you’ll gain patient consent for their health data if you ignore mine so freely
GPs: this is not contractual
I often bleat on about the quality of LMCs and you lot often tell me that I am wrong.
Well here is an example of an LMC who are engaged and clearly have GPs backs! Thank you @doctor_katie and @CambsLMC. If I could move to Cambs I would!

GPs up & down the country are literally making themselves ill in the pursuit of caring for their patients. @NHSEngland unhealthy obsession with top down performance management of undeliverable targets must end. We must prioritise our time on those who need us the most not ✅box.
