We agree with comments made by @AndrewBuist17 @BMAScotland in his speech at #SLMC22 today.
Being a GP can be one of the best jobs in the world, but right now GPs need to feel valued, supported and empowered.
And here's @TheDrMagazine's report of @AndrewBuist17's speech to #SLMC22 this morning. @BMAScotland. Safe to say he's a bit unhappy. https://t.co/jpTUxeZZ6r

Humza Yousaf says he’s not ‘dismissive or complacent’ about challenges facing general practice. Recognises sustainability challenges. But says his budget is also stretched by high energy costs. He is in ‘Wretched position’ of taking money from parts of service. #SLMC22
“We are facing a wretched situation where we have to reprofile money in the health and social care budget”
#slmc22
“The sustainability issues remain at the forefront of my mind, vacancies, retirement rates, list sizes, staff absences and cost crisis”
#slmc22
“I am not complacent or dismissive of the concerns raised with me about general practice workload”
#slmc22
“Any abuse you or your colleagues face is utter unacceptable”

Strategy is multi-pronged on recruitment and retention but not all in SG gift, says cab sec. Wants to put more focus on general practice. #SLMC22 @BMAScotland
Cabinet Secretary says Scottish Government response to criticism of GPs hasn’t been ‘feeble’. Says he doesn’t control the media. Says there’s media campaign to defend receptionists. #SLMC22 @BMAScotland
Cabinet Secretary Humza Yousaf now on feet. Sets context of financial constraints and other challenges. Describes his own sick bairn - and says his GP practice has been brilliant. @BMAScotland #SLMC22
Cabinet Secretary @HumzaYousaf is now addressing #slmc22
“I am eternally grateful to general practice.”
Dundee GP @DrAndrewCowie says his practice has lost five admin staff because of sustained abuse from public. Says SG needs to do more. #SLMC22 @BMAScotland
GPs and staff are facing more abuse than ever before, says Grampian GP Mish Bhana. Says GPs are being scapegoated for Scottish Government failings. Says GPs working v hard. @BMAScotland #SLMC22
GPs facing exhaustion and burnout, says Grampian GP Samantha Fenwick. Asking where the supposed additional 800 GPs are for Scotland. Maybe one for @HumzaYousaf later? @BMAScotland @TheDrMagazine #SLMC22
GPs should be examining their own wellbeing, says Glasgow GP Chris Mansbridge. Workload and pressure are taking their toll. @BMAScotland #SLMC22
