The Upcoming NHS Workforce Plan Call for Evidence

This week Emma and NIck talk about the BMA’s decision to re-enter dispute with the government in England, the online access plans that have led us to this point and what both the BMA and the government have to say about all of this. They also look at what re-entering dispute could mean for the profession.

They talk about the upcoming NHS workforce plan, which is due to be published before the end of the year after the government launched a call for evidence. And they discuss the BMA’s latest survey on the state of GP premises and what’s required to fix the crumbling primary care estate.

Our good news story this week is about a GP who has this week been attempting to break the record for running round the perimeter of Cornwall in an effort to raise money and awareness of early-onset dementia, which has affected her mum.

This episode was presented by GPonline editor Emma Bower and deputy editor Nick Bostock. It was produced by Czarina Deen.
