Good learning day at LMC Secretaries conference at BMA house with our amazing, dynamic leader of General Practice @DrKatie.BSky.Social . Great session supporting GP partnership model.

It’s a proud day for Dr/Cllr Chandra Kanneganti CBE who has been to Windsor today with his family to collect his CBE.

Dr Chandra Kanneganti was awarded a CBE in the King’s New Year Honours List, in recognition for services to general practice and promoting equality and diversity in the UK. He attended a ceremony in Windsor with his family to formally collect his honour. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

The GMC’s argument that it is compelled to investigate and punish all doctors who have been found to break the law is fundamentally flawed. This case has absolutely no bearing on patient care, safety, public confidence nor trust - which should be the GMC’s sole consideration.

Joined fellow GP’s and hospital consultant colleagues at Trentham Gardens parkrun in memory of brilliant Dr. Alison Brind, Consultant Hepatologist at UHNM NHS Trust 🏥 who sadly passed away recently. UHNM Charity 🏥 Anna Pigott 🔶

Great to speak at #UKLMCConf supporting motion about ambulance delays and actions that need to be taken to support GP practices. Great conference General Practice at beautiful Celtic Manor in Newport.

Brilliant Speech by General Practice Chair @DrKatie.BSky.Social in the first GPC roadshow in Staffordshire today making a strong case for proper funding for General Practice and collective actions by GP’s to achieve that.

Really Good Attendance from Northstaffs Practices organised by NorthStaffs LMC. Practices are behind GPCE and we ready to take action #collectiveaction Protect your patients, protect your GP practice bma.org.uk/our-campaigns/… via The BMA Thank you @DrKatie.BSky.Social for your time🙏

Why is this not a good solution? Wes Streeting General Practice - GPs are not additional they are core. - GPs won’t be working in one practice as they’ll be PCN employed. - ⁠newly qualified GP’s need to have support & mentoring within one practice to settle. - ⁠proposed extra funding

Great result with 98.3% of members voting Yes for collective actions. N Staffs LMC will meet today to discuss and confirm to practices the actions that will be recommended to start asap. To assure patients, we will do actions that does not affect direct patient care. I hope

Health leaders back GP work-to-rule action bbc.com/news/articles/…

Why the offer of employing GP through ARRS as per this spec is a bad idea- 1. Age Discrimination 2. £92,462 is reimbursement for the salary (£73,114) and on costs. That’s £8200/session which was going rate 20 years ago ⁠ 3. ⁠Not new money 4. ⁠?Emergency for 2024-25 only 5.

The way to stop collective actions is by investing in General Practice now. 7% of NHS budget is spent on General Practice where 90% patient contacts happen. The Pledge of ending workload dump is done number of times before with- 1.2001- Reducing Bureaucracy in GP 2. 2015- Making

Labour dismantling General Practice

Health Service Journal What a stupid idea? GP partnership model is the main reason that sustained General Practice in UK. HSJ readers should remember that there is £1.1bn deficit Trusts accrued in 23/24 compared with £0 of GP practices across UK who are still running as successful independent

Speaking in #LMCConf campaignjng for ‘Restoring the Core’ GMS, starting with moving £23/patient ARRS funding into core GMS contract asap to support and sustain General Practice.
