General Practice in Scotland is in a tough place, we will all need to work together to improve services for our patients and our practices. There are no easy answers out there, but if anyone can find them, these three can. bmascotland.home.blog/2024/10/04/new…

@HighlandLMC Chair shares how collective action has helped Highland GPs move towards sustainable contracts for essential services for their patients. @doctor_katie follows up with why the time is now and there is no cavalry coming to help. Motion carried 💪 #ConfLMC24

Peggy, @HighlandLMC second first time speaker of the day smashes her speech and the motion is carried unanimously in all it's parts #SLMC2023
Dr Nóra Murray-Cavanagh@now_its_nora

#SLMC2023 The fantastic Dr Peggy Chua with a storming speech filled with examples (some horrifying) of poor patient experience and workload “dumping”, unresourced transfer of workload. Hung on remote consultations (but also AHPs running clinics with inadequate pathway/backup)

Remote consultations - some benefits, but secondary care shouldn’t expect GPs to pick up work when all of the clinical needs aren’t met. Peggy Chua gave an excellent speech describing the issues here at #SLMC2023 and conference agreed.

Vision of general practice- future of the GP contract in Scotland. Al Miles proposed this important motion, and Scotland’s conference of LMCs agreed with this. #SLMC2023

Highland GPs have joined GPs from across the UK to discuss the massive and urgent issues facing our profession and our ability to sustain provision of healthcare. A very apt title for this conference- “hanging on a thread” #confLMC23

Debating we need a single national formulary for Scotland, promised in 2016 Manifesto. New Zealand achieved theirs in 2012. Is prescribing really equitable in Scotland just now? Ps.13/25 pages of pharmacy first formulary is HB’s variation in emollients!🤯 #SLMC2022 @gpayrshire
