🗣️| @drstevetaylor.bsky.social has spoken to @gponline.bsky.social about ARRS GPs. "The failure of the policy was to make it too restrictive - only open to GPs two years post CCT - with too little pay, uncertainty of length of contracts and too vague," he said. www.gponline.com/no-chance-go...

GP CRISIS Summary: Not enough funding, not enough GPs in work, GP unemployment, too much focus on additional roles at the expense of patients being able to access GPs Cause: Government & NHS England failure to prioritise patient care in the community @dauk-gp.bsky.social

A good question from @thedauk.bsky.social Why do we have a desperate shortage of GP’s when there are 3,500 under and unemployed GP’s? It makes no sense dauk.org/work-with-gp...

So this is the new great idea🤔 I’m pretty sure if Sarah had seen a GP she wouldn’t have needed to have a CT scan, no need to speak to the ENT registrar & yes it could be managed in the community Why does NHS England always underestimate the skills of GPs? www.england.nhs.uk/long-read/re...
