Are GPs heading for an imposed contract next year, plus what the budget means for general practice
Description
The GPonline team discusses the key news stories affecting general practice.
The team talks about GP contract negotiations after the government confirmed it intended to talk to key stakeholders alongside the BMA as part of putting together next year’s deal - and health and social care secretary Wes Streeting wrote to the profession accusing the GP committee chair of lies and unprofessional behaviour.
They discuss this week’s budget and what some of the measures outlined by the government could mean for general practice.
And Kimberley talks about an article she wrote recently interviewing a GP who has spent time working in Gaza.
Our good news story this week is about patients and a neighbouring surgery rallying around to help a practice that was severely affected by flooding in the wake of the recent Storm Claudia.
This episode was presented by GPonline editor Emma Bower, deputy editor Nick Bostock and senior news reporter Kimberley Hackett. It was produced by Czarina Deen.
