GPs in Wales have adopted new ways of working.
For some, this means remote appointments but face to face is still available when appropriate.
We’re working with GPC Wales to improve access to services in a collaborative way, not driven through accusations of underperformance.
As GPs in England voice their dismay at the support plan for general practice in England, GPs in Wales, Scotland and NI stand in support of their colleagues. #supportyoursurgery
One of our regional representatives in Wales @GarethWThomas1 joined @BBCNews to discuss the current pressures on general practice and why patients often struggle to get through to the surgery. #PMpower#IGPM

There are now more ways in which patients can see their GP than was the case before the pandemic. This is welcome. Whether a face-to-face or remote consultation is the most appropriate should be a matter for discussion between the individual patient and the general practice team.

Our #welsh@TheIGPM representative @GarethWThomas1 discusses how negative feedback hinders morale and confirms, as we all know, we have been and remain open for business.
I’m Gareth, a representative in Wales. I currently work for West Quay Medical Centre and I've been a Business Manager for 7 years. My areas of expertise are Informatics and Quality Improvement, which are two key major components to drive change in general practice.
GP’s are taking a lot of flack lately.
For the first time in years I’ve used mine. I know good healthcare when I see it and I can honestly say you wouldn’t get a better service if you paid privately for it.
They are amazing! Thank you. 🙏@ValeWestern@CV_UHB
