I’m a GP partner. I’ve never heard of a GP partnership that is an LLP. I believe most are unlimited liability partnerships.

The press release makes explicit that the scheme is much broader than right to work

Wow thank you… I gave up on the lightning port on my iPhone 12 a year or so ago and have been limping along with wireless charging. Now the port is working again!

The consultancies are going to have a bumper few years managing the current re-org and then substituting for the in-house transformation capacity which the govt is so unwisely decimating

A few times a year I visit Cambridge and go to my favourite noodle bar from student days. Every time I exchange a nod and a smile with the same waiter. This has been going on 15-20 years.

At this stage I feel that having an actual conversation would ruin a beautiful thing.

Thanks for the thread. Seems a bit odd tho to claim that people who voted Labour just 1yr ago “can’t really be won back”. But I agree that Lab is too obsessed with positioning itself close to Reform.

Bluesky people are also more likely to be professionals who have to get the right answer each time, perhaps.
e.g. I’m a doctor and I can’t rely on google AI summary for medical evidence. Need to click through to search results.

Where can I buy these? I can’t see greeting cards on the @mooseallain.bsky.social website.

The main risk is that consultants will drown in A&G requests because GPs are incentivised to use this route rather than look up evidence/guidelines, or to send A&G for patients who clearly need to be seen by that specialty.

The £80m is not really “funding an expansion of the [A&G] scheme”. This is the max available for the £20 payment to GPs, intended to compensate for the extra work involved in managing the patient ourselves rather than referring them.

Nick Kristof has the story of some of those who have died already, such as 10 year old Peter Donde, who succumbed after losing access to HIV medicine that kept him alive. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I was working on a project that would used tech to transform referral processes, reducing unnecessary referrals and saving money within a couple of years. Exactly the sort of thing the govt should support.

But it’s dead now. No chance the ICB would be able to fund it.

It could have worked well if accompanied by good BI and decision support tools, which should have been mandated in clinical systems. Instead it was a confusing mass of indicators with little visibility of achievement, and improvement was unnecessarily difficult.

I was supported at Cambridge for several years by an 18th-century college endowment reserved for students of Physic who were members of the Church of England. I wonder if it’s still being used in the same way.

Interesting that the fall in consultations rates coincides with the fall in GP numbers. What are your thoughts on causation?
