What next for general practice and the NHS after the Darzi review?

GPonline editor Emma Bower and deputy editor Nick Bostock discuss the review of the NHS by Lord Ara Darzi, the government’s response to the report and what happens next - including what might be in the new NHS long-term plan.

They also look at another report Lord Darzi was involved with - the IPPR think tank’s final report from its Commission on Health and Prosperity and what that could mean for general practice and the NHS.

And they’re talking about health and social care secretary Wes Streeting’s war of words with the BMA over collective action.

Our good news story this week is also very good news for the government as junior doctors - who are now called resident doctors - voted to accept the new pay offer which brings to an end 18 months of industrial action.

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