...GP locums especially need to be actively involved from the outset – ensuring these new neighbourhood systems genuinely understand, integrate, and value the unique flexibility, skills, and perspectives locums bring to the NHS front line.

"...objections have been around for many years, preceding the advent of their adoption of Physician Associates. Indeed, it was a doctors-only GMC that made this decision.
So to repeat the same exercise ... and expect different results may not be the wisest solution."

GPs fortunate enough to have jobs are overworked, potentially leading to inefficiencies and underperformance. Meanwhile, those without jobs are left in limbo, jeopardizing their well-being and the future of general practice itself.

The top five Extended Roles for GPs, according to 167 GPs.

Unfortunately, there’s no funding yet for these roles. One GP told us: “We have to literally create the spaces where we want to work.”

How could GPwER be more accessible?

General practice needs the strong clinical leadership of GP partners, it needs these clinical leaders to take responsibility for providing joined-up services, and it needs the stability and continuity that comes with the partnership model.
