Pulse in Focus: The Podcast for GPs GPCE's Katie Bramall on whether collective action is back on; and can I trust my patient's 'FitBit' cardiology results?
Pulse editor Sofia Lind interviews GPC England chair Dr Katie Bramall about whether or not GPs could re-enter into dispute with the Government, and if so - what collective action could look like this time around.
This follows concerns over the 10-year plan, the future of the partnership model, and stagnation in negotiating a new wholesale GMS contract - a commitment promised by the Government as part of the 25/26 contract deal.
Pulse clinical adviser Dr Keith Hopcroft is joined by GP and president of the Primary Care Cardiovascular Society Professor Raj Thakkar. The pair discuss how reliable wearable tech is in monitoring patients' cardiology conditions and whether it can be used to clinch diagnoses, following a piece Professor Thakkar wrote for Pulse last month, which you can find here.
And editor-in-chief Jaimie Kaffash talks about where the incoming cohort of newly-qualified GPs sit in the current unemployment crisis.
He discusses our new platform Pulse Careers, for GP trainees, newly-qualified GPs and those who are considering their next career move.
