Honoured to be nominated to stand in @rcgp president election alongside great candidates. The agenda is huge, the challenges great but the future can be better for GPs and General Practice. If elected I will work for you on this. Thanks for your support.

[Richard Vautrey @rvautrey]

Be in no doubt, “phasing out GP partners” will make General Practice, one of the most effective and efficient NHS services, worse not better and could put your practice at risk. We need investment and workforce expansion not damaging plans #saveyoursurgery

[Leeds LMC @LeedsLMC]

@LeedsLMC and all in General Practice in Leeds are profoundly saddened by the death of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. We are also grateful for her long life of exemplary public service. Our thoughts are with the Royal Family and all those who mourn at this time.

[The BMA @TheBMA]

The BMA offers its deepest and most sincere condolences to the Royal Family on the death of Her Majesty the Queen.

"They must not be used to denigrate already-demoralised hardworking GPs and our teams but as a wake-up call to Government and policy makers to support GPs and our teams deliver safe, timely and personalised care to all patients."

38 degrees in Leeds next week. Record temperatures across Europe (again). Climate change is real and it’s here. We all have a role to play - get involved #ClimateCrisis #AllHandsIn 👇🏾👇🏼👇🏽👇🏿

1/23 V. important pension tax🧵 Alert ! Some of the arguments used by government not to fix pensions taxation & why they don't stack up (but may appear in Wednesday's debate). A long thread but spend the time to watch the videos. Pls read to end & share/RT👇

[Gareth Iacobucci @Garethiacobucci]

Pleased to see wider coverage today of @bmj_latest investigation into the rise in violence at UK GP surgeries. The abuse is shocking and needs tackling. It's also self defeating as it will push more staff to the exit and make it even harder to access care. https://t.co/RSyf2HzA0z

[West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership @WYpartnership]

Our services are extremely busy; we know it's frustrating. Abuse towards our colleagues can contribute to us losing staff, leaving gaps and making it harder to run our services. We’re all here to help each other – please be kind. https://t.co/soHvnNvDLk #WYLeavingAGap

[Richard Vautrey @rvautrey]

GP practice and pharmacy staff should not have to cope with this on a daily basis when they are seeing and treating more people than ever https://t.co/It34TCe6ZV

[Hugh Pym @BBCHughPym]

Violent incidents at GP surgeries double in five years https://t.co/yG8Fe2dpPK

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

1/46 Today @bma_pensions have written to @BMA_GP highlighting urgent issues regarding Annual Allowance in 22/23 related to inflation & *manifestly wrong* way AA is calculated. A vitally important 🧵 incl free tool. Pls read all carefully/share. Needs fixing, by government. NOW

[General Practice @BMA_GP]

Soaring inflation will significantly impact GP pensions, leaving individuals exposed to unexpected tax bills.

Our new CPI modeller provides clarity on how you could be affected allowing you to make informed decisions to avoid being unfairly penalised https://t.co/6029rf0X5L

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

5/ For example in a tool for GPs due for release this weekend👇, will show that if Sept CPI is 10% that might give a typical GP around the level of the LTA and with avg earnings £115k an AA charge of £33,349- thats almost HALF of their post tax income

[Leeds LMC @LeedsLMC]

Well done Dr Lucy Clement, Motion 13 passed in all its parts #LMCConf

"We need the Government to listen to and support GPs and their colleagues, and make good on its pledges to boost the GP workforce so that practices can provide the safe, quality care that patients deserve." GPC Deputy Chair @KieranLincsGP speaking in the @MailOnline today.

Millions more appointments with hundreds fewer GPs 'pushing doctors to breaking point', says BMA https://t.co/zCrJGrJR6E via @TheBMA
