Following the launch of the NHS workforce plan on 30 June our comment was quoted in this Pulse piece on the general reaction from the profession, this one specifically on the projected GP workforce shortfall, this piece on next possible steps for retention and recruitment . GPOnline quoted it in a piece focusing on the increased workload for GP trainers and this round-up of reactions.

We continue to be very active in promoting the interests of London GPs and practice staff on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn . If you have an example of general practice doing something well which could make a news story please get in touch. We also support practices that are approached with media requests. You can find details here.
