And so too support your ICBs & teams under huge pressure & redundancy threats to work WITH their practices again supporting patient safety

Again this is the need for co-production not top-down diktat

Trust your 6,331 neighbourhood health services = Your GP practices!

Let’s support your ambition but give us a guarantee that you won’t breach practices that are trying their best to deliver this

Get @NHSEngland to engage with @theHSSIB recommendations in interest of pt safety @PatientsAssoc

Patients deserve safe & quick access to their GP

Any economics student will explain if you need quick + safe, it won’t be cheap

But GP costs under £140 per pt per year - less than your pet insurance

Less than the cost of 🍎 a day!

& we know continuity of care saves lives

We lack the resources, capacity and capabilities to meet the needs of our patients if we can’t switch off online requests when we are full

Not to mention mandating we MUST contact the patient THAT SAME DAY no matter how many patients contact us 🤯

Not safe

Not just opinion of @BMA_GP but also @theHSSIB

I wonder what @CQCProf & @gmcuk think?

This break’s Jess’ Rule

You don't have to go through tough times alone

Today marks World Suicide Prevention Day

1 in 4 GPs know another who’s died from suicide

My own GP took his life in 2021

Please reach out to your LMC, use @BMA_GP support & @NHSPracHealth or one of these:
