We are losing GPs and practices, and patients suffer. We need urgent support with the costs of inflation, reduced box ticking and a workforce plan. Government has to listen. @BMA_GP

[Lorna Longworth @LornaLLO]

Welcome commitment to increase HCP - including GP - numbers. Our Newcastle People Plan @NewcastleGPs @Jayne_Aitken reflects the real world challenges and outlines some solutions mainly around training of new staff and #wellbeing to improve retention

[Lorna Longworth @LornaLLO]

Good to listen to @Keir_Starmer talk about the ways in which society has changed since the NHS started and his hopeful vision for the future. I reflected on where we're at locally.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

My mission-driven government will build an NHS fit for the future.

@wesstreeting please remember around 70%of a GP's consultations are with people with complex conditions @kingsfund @HealthFdn - resource accordingly!
