Areas without a Primary Care MDT have been disadvantaged for years & will be for years to come until there is complete rollout. I dont think most patients are even aware that they are at a huge disadvantage compared to their neighbours sometimes only a few miles down the road.

***BREAKING NEWS*** Today at UK @TheBMA Council this statement of total support for GPs from the whole profession was made about the existential crisis facing us. We cannot increase costs to cover this hammer blow. @wesstreeting needs to announce right now they will cover this

The Scottish Deep End Project is an exemplar in tacking health inequalities. Now a worldwide but Northern Ireland is the only part of these islands without one @rcgp_ni would love to partner @healthdpt in delivering on this @mikenesbittni @nigelhart @danielnbutler

Tonight, our Chair and Deputy Chair attended a Deep End Project parliamentary event, a chance to talk to MSPs about tackling the inverse care law. We are proud to support the Scottish Deep End Project, and you can find out more about their work here gla.ac.uk/schools/health…

A timely reminder today that England have instructed an early pay review body report for next year (25/6) to get uplift into pockets in April next year. Meanwhile we stall, bicker and let our staff down here for this year (24/5, and it’s November!!)

What @wesstreeting says is important here, and timely the key word with an aim to apply uplifts in April. We need @mikenesbittni to say exactly the same here and then the Dept to honour it. We simply can’t keep being left behind.

Doctors in Northern Ireland are falling behind those in the rest of the UK - DDRB uplifts need to be paid to all doctors in NI at the same time and at the same level as the other nations!

These are all very fair and reasonable asks and are completely and quickly resolvable. It is disgraceful to bring us to the cliff edge

Doctors in Northern Ireland are falling behind those in the rest of the UK - we need to see progress on key issues now!

The chair of @rcgp has condemned “devastating” new figures showing that GPs in deprived areas of England are responsible for at least 300 more patients per doctor than those in wealthier areas, a gap that has widened over the past six years bmj.com/content/387/bm…


Laura McDonnell Reposted

Wes Streeting commiting to increasing the percentage of budget spend in primary care in England - The Darzi diagnosis is clear. Can we have a similar commitment in NI? @healthdpt @mikenesbittni @rcgp @rcgp_ni #RCGPAC24
