Great to be at #UKLMC2025 in Glasgow, being reminded that GPs are not community house officers for secondary care. No indeed - a finite & precious resource carrying unbelievable risk & complexity as expert generalists. 1st time speaker Amy Stewart. No GPs, no NHS. No brainer.

This week I met a group of 30 Doctors qualifying as GP's in the summer, raring to go to help patients in their communities. Only 1 has secured a job. The GP unemployment crisis needs to be fixed! #UKLMC2025

Our 2019 survey of disabled doctors and medical students found just 55% had gotten the reasonable adjustments they needed. Our new survey will help us understand whether access has changed since then, and to keep lobbying for improvement. Take part here: surveymonkey.com/r/BMAdisabilit…

A 4% pay uplift, less than current inflation, is an insult to doctors in England. This Government has shown it simply doesn’t value doctors.   “The DDRB has failed doctors. If this is the best they can do, government needs to think again.” says Philip Banfield 💙   This ‘award’
