Mword - Issue 27 - February 2016 now available
4 February 2016 Dear Colleague, If not now, when? Saturday’s Special Conference of LMCs effectively declared a #GPstateofemergency. The #(Hashtag) in front of the words without spaces between them is Twitterspeak. But it’s those words that count. GP State Of Emergency . At long last the message has been broadcast nationally, loud and clear that patients risk losing their GPs – even the CQC Approved Outstanding ones - unless the pressures on us are dramatically and appropriately eased. Whether you are a partner, a salaried GP or a freelance locum; whether you are a nurse, a manager, a member of the team, or a patient, the message from #LMCconf is clear: general practice is on its knees and we won’t take any more - now is the time for action not words. And so there are things to tell and things to be done:
As ever – please do let me have any views on these issues or others at mword@lmc.org.uk. Dr Michelle Drage MBBS FRCGP Chief Executive
