@doctor_katie tells the England LMCs conference she is and always has been a faithful, but the government and NHSE are #traitors to the GP profession

@medicaccountant @SKinnock @wesstreeting Thanks Andy!

This is a good podcast. In the light of the increasingly combative stance being taken by @SKinnock and @wesstreeting around General practice one of their team would be wise to listen to this. Specialist journalists take time to understand the issues. Substance not soundbites.

The data the government is using to make this claims is deeply flawed. If you want some more analysis of this then listen to this episode of Talking General Practice from Sept where @nickbostock explains what it tells us about GP partner earnings gponline.com/podcast-gp-par…

Stephen Kinnock got a muted reception from #rcgpac. The Carr-Hill formula review was welcomed, but only a smattering of applause after a speech that was critical of the BMA dispute over online consultations and dismissed GP concerns about patient safey and increase in workload

Practices across the UK are still very concerned about the impact that the rise in NI contributions will have. This issue has not gone away - despite this year's contract deal, practices in England are also still v worried about these extra costs

Thanks so much to @doctor_katie for speaking to me - it's always good to talk to her. Lots in here about why we need a new GP contract and what it will need to address if the government wants to deliver on its aim to bring back the family doctor. Do have a listen if you can
