The long term workforce plan in a nutshell. A picture paints a thousand words: @libdemdaisy @PreetKGillMP @wesstreeting @andrealeadsom @VictoriaAtkins @theRCN @BMA_GP @rcgp Patients deserve and GPs need a new general practice deal in England from the next Government.
Where prescriptions are free, you can easily see how GP demand and prescribing costs go up. If we want them to be free, just make them free, a GP does not need to be part of the process

Some very committed people will try to solve this, but the budget and funding shortages have devastating real life consequences.

How other countries talk about us….
“We must care for the people who deliver care” Chief Exec of NI Ambulance Service @mb_nias_cex addresses first NIAS leadership conference since 2019 and praised staff and reflected on the impact of the past five years and pledged to improve culture to support and nurture.
Amongst the financial catastrophe, a workforce that can’t get any flatter, pending further IA and patients that are really suffering, it is reassuring (if perhaps futile) to hear our Health Minister really stand up for us all Thank you @RobinSwann_MLA it really means something

"Not enough to sustain a health service that is struggling to function effectively with a huge workload and workforce crisis, never mind address the underlaying causes of this crisis in any realistic, long-term way." Statement on health budget allocation: bma.org.uk/bma-media-cent…
Very, very worrying and huge implications. We need to be upfront and honest about what patients can, or more likely can’t, expect, and also honest on how we treat and pay our staff.

Robin Swann votes against budget - leaked letter to Executive colleagues warns of dire consequences for health service newsletter.co.uk/news/politics/…
Never a decision taken lightly, but they can see clearly the effects on workforce recruitment and retention and hence any future service delivery. Valued and treated so much better elsewhere. If we can’t keep our Doctors, we have no NHS

Consultants in Northern Ireland are to be balloted on industrial action. NICC chair @David_Farren outlines why they have taken this decision. Ballot opens on 7 May 2024 for five weeks. Join. Vote. Win.
Urgent action is needed to stem the exodus of doctors from the NHS, which is damaging patient care and costing taxpayers, @TheBMA warns. An estimated 15 000 to 23 000 doctors in England left the NHS prematurely between September 2022 and September 2023 bmj.com/content/385/bm…
Well worth a read. Sometimes the obvious is far too simple….
What is the cost when a salaried GP with 6 years' experience moves abroad? If they worked at a rural practice it may struggle to recruit, relying on locum cover for up to 3 months (£735/day). When recruited, the new GP would take time to get up to speed bma.org.uk/attrition-costs
The financial cost to the NHS of doctors leaving the workforce is staggering. At least £1.6 billion, according to our new research. Let’s take a look at some examples 🧵👇 bma.org.uk/attrition-costs
Ministers, managers and civil servants will always come and go, and for different reasons. The only true consistency is those that work on the front line. They need to be listened to now more than ever

We cannot keep pouring an increasing amount of money into more doctors, hospitals, and medicines in the hope that we can treat our way out of our health problems. We need to look "upstream" and tackle the determinants of health. My speech in @UKHouseofLords on NHS.
@AlanStout19 @ainemagee11 An important part of healthcare, and the best way is preventative care, staff wellbeing surely should be the same

The long term workforce plan in a nutshell. A picture paints a thousand words: @libdemdaisy @PreetKGillMP @wesstreeting @andrealeadsom @VictoriaAtkins @theRCN @BMA_GP @rcgp Patients deserve and GPs need a new general practice deal in England from the next Government.
It’s amazing how patients hold onto the exact words that you say years later A patient reminded me of what I’d said to him when his cancer was diagnosed years ago: “We’re on the same side, the same team & we will take this journey together” He said the comfort of knowing his…
@AlanStout19 Well we have been well and truly warned !! To be clear the are looking down at the NHS nots its Doctors , they seem very happy with the standard of Doctors we are training for them . ( Canada , NZ and Ireland also seem very content !)
Australia rightly stating that they should not follow NHS England and Government destruction of GP services in England Wake up @andrealeadsom @VictoriaAtkins @wesstreeting @libdemdaisy It’s not too late to reverse the destruction of General Practice
The NHS is run down, its doctors have been run down. The UK faces a GP exodus. Low pay, conditions, role substitution. We must make sure Australia doesn't take the wrong lessons from their mistakes. Great to speak to Lexi Hamilton-Smith for an upcoming ABC story with @kamingock.
I am voting with the BMA to keep doctors in Northern Ireland. Why are we payed less than either the rest of the UK or Ireland?
Consultants in Northern Ireland are to be balloted on industrial action. NICC chair @David_Farren outlines why they have taken this decision. Ballot opens on 7 May 2024 for five weeks. Join. Vote. Win.
“We must care for the people who deliver care” Chief Exec of NI Ambulance Service @mb_nias_cex addresses first NIAS leadership conference since 2019 and praised staff and reflected on the impact of the past five years and pledged to improve culture to support and nurture.
@AlanStout19 @ian_lalsingh Hope the future works out well for you Ian.
@AlanStout19 @ian_lalsingh Best wishes to you Ian. Huge thanks to you for your many years of dedicated service! 🙏
@AlanStout19 @RobinSwann_MLA I’m now a victim on these waiting lists needing a THR. My surgeon informed me that he can do 100 hips per annum and his waiting list is over 1000. In many other occupations I would likely be unable to work but I’ll keep going. That’s the reality in GP world but unrecognised.
This is not surprising given the trajectory of the workforce in our NHS over the past decade. We need proper pay and working conditions with incentives right across the NHS to retain and recruit staff. We also need more Consultant positions funded across many specialities.
Consultants ‘left with no alternative’ but to ballot on industrial action over pay irishnews.com/news/northern-…
@Hugh_SaveTheMid @AlanStout19 One suggestion. Do we need 5 HSC Trusts for an area and population the size of N Ireland?
@AlanStout19 Agree fully but there's now an urgent need for reform and restructuring. Significant inefficiencies remain.
"Not enough to sustain a health service that is struggling to function effectively with a huge workload and workforce crisis, never mind address the underlaying causes of this crisis in any realistic, long-term way." Statement on health budget allocation: bma.org.uk/bma-media-cent…
After all our warnings of how dire the situation is in EDs, GP practices and outpatients it is extremely disappointing to read that we won’t even have enough money to keep the status quo. There are going to be some extremely tough choices for trusts, practices and patients.
.@BBCNewsNI understands that @healthdpt has received an additional £500 million in its share of the budget. Previously @RobinSwann_MLA had asked for £1 billion extra. While most recently he’d said he’d work with £800m - the dept will say this is £300m short of what’s required.
If we don’t have a properly funded healthcare system people will die. People already are dying in waiting lists. That’s the evidence we have received from the sector. If the Executive don’t get it, then we are in a very worrying place. @SDLPlive | @MatthewOToole2
