Anna Colivicchi

🚨some job news!!🚨 Super excited to have joined @pulsetoday as their new senior reporter 🫀🗞 I’ll be covering all things GPs, NHS & health policy 🩺 Feel free to say hi👋 📩annacolivicchi@cogora.com

‘Too much focus’ on digital and online services is affecting continuity of care in @rcgp general practice according to the public, a new @RebuildGP survey has found. pulsetoday.co.uk/news/clinical-… via @AnnaColivicchi

🚨 Super excited to have started my new role: Senior journalist for @NurseinPractice! After a brief stint at the dark side (sorry comms), I'm back doing what I love most...drinking too much coffee between shorthand, interviews & articles (Mega points for guessing the song🔽)

@geeharland @olliesirrell @ladamscricket 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@olliesirrell @ladamscricket @AnnaColivicchi No one would ever pass 100wpm exams if the answers were just handed out! GUESS you will never know because I refuse to give a HINT 👀

🚨Personal news klaxon…new job details coming soon 👀✍️

@geeharland @olliesirrell 🤣 I literally sent a message to Gee saying 'something is something something is back writing' - but I've always struggled reading other people's shorthand! Apart from @ladamscricket 's

@olliesirrell @AnnaColivicchi said EXACTLY the same thing to me. Now I am questioning whether my shorthand is just horrendous 😅

GPs could carry out more checks for heart disease and diabetes as part of the NHS Health Check prevention programme but are being limited by caps imposed by local authorities, a Pulse investigation by @AnnaColivicchi has found pulsetoday.co.uk/news/clinical-…

As GPs we would urge Government and NHSE to make sure that funding is available for winter pressures, and not left to GP practices to absorb all the extra work. They cannot do this alone pulsetoday.co.uk/news/clinical-…

Publicly labeling the BMA a 'cartel' crosses a line. DAUK’s action highlights the need for professional respect. Health policy debates must avoid personal attacks; undermining the BMA risks collaboration and could harm GP contracts and patient care. pulsetoday.co.uk/news/contract/…

We wanted to make it clear that the BMA is the correct and legally-established organisation to negotiate the GP contract ‘It is best placed to ensure the contract is workable for GPs and delivers safe, high-quality care for patients.’ pulsetoday.co.uk/news/contract/…

Streeting calling GPs “lagging” and the BMA “moaning minnies” has ruffled feathers. Over 600 GPs have written to @wesstreeting defending the BMA and demanding mutual respect, warning that dismissive rhetoric risks morale, patient safety, and trust. pulsetoday.co.uk/news/special-i…

It’s important that context is always given when Govt bodies & ministers share information There has been in increase in online requests (not necessarily appts as admin requests included) between September and October from 6.5m to 8m, 21% pulsetoday.co.uk/news/2025-26-c…

NHS digital innovations such as the introduction of triage forms benefit many patients but can also create unnecessary barriers, potentially leading to delayed care and increased stress for people from vulnerable groups with limited digital literacy. pulsetoday.co.uk/news/clinical-…

GPs threaten to shut for a day over online appointments tech, writes MJA member @AnnaColivicchi pulsetoday.co.uk/news/2025-26-c…

‘GPs have been neglected for too long. They are under-resourced, struggling to cope, and patients pay the price’ So Wes has decided not to listen or talk because he doesn’t like what he hears or the solutions that are needed Patients will pay the price for @wesstreeting failure

GPs have had enough. Their backing of undated resignations sends a clear message: 👉The current contract isn’t working 👉Workloads are unsafe and unsustainable 👉It’s time for government to listen Real reform is needed to protect both GPs and patients. pulsetoday.co.uk/news/lmcs-conf…

Survey reports prob 10 million appts per annum will be lost in General Practice due to pulling doctors out of regular sessions to focus on online consults all day. Likely will result in longer delays for patients to see GPs with waiting lists created. pulsetoday.co.uk/news/workload/…

A new survey from @pulsetoday and @GPpracticeMGMT shows that 67% of GPs believe patients are in more danger since 1st October. This is as a result of result of contractual changes that require practices to ensure online requests can be submitted between 8am to 6.30pm #RebuildGP
