‘Fundamentally flawed’ CQC inspection regime should be scrapped, say GPs www.gponline.com/fundamentall... #GPnews #lmcconf
This is big at #lmcconf. See iv calls for a special conference last done in 2016!
Anger, rectification, predictions of doom and change.
Unanimous for i, ii, and iii.
iv calling for a special conference on next steps for collective action voted by LMCs is passed!
Get ready General Practice...
Powerful and emotional speeches on the manhandling of practices by CQC.
Repeat comments on the failures of a 'not fit for purpose' organisation being the monitor.
What do you think as #lmcconf voted this through unanimously on block.
Is this their end?
Should practices be able to switch off online consultations for safety as posed by Nat Martin?
Should it go further? Is NHSE to blame?
#lmcconf passed all items unanimously on block.
Clear direction of issues with PCSE and the motion is passed unanimously at #lmcconf!
Best chuckle of the day - only thing worse than not getting through to PCSE is meeting PCSE 😆
Prescribing policies and changes..
What should happen - well #lmcconf overwhelmingly voted for all these changes with iv taken as a reference.
Do you agree?

Advice and guidance took centre stage.
Discussion on benefits and challenges with the clear ask for appropriate funding for better patient care. Proposed by the legendary Jackie Applebee of Tower Hamlets.
All parts passed overwhelmingly at #lmcconf
Uplifting discussion at #LMCConf about the various forms of collective action being taken across England.
Lots of notice given on unfunded work (e.g. phlebotomy, procedures or shared care), some ICBs finding funding to offer when the free work stops!
GPs can win - collectively.
All parts passed by #lmcconf
Collective action is a marathon not a sprint.
An intricate motion. GP in ARRS.
Viable? A false offer? To be expanded?
All except iii passed with iii changed to a vote against by the debate at #lmcconf!
Sat listening at @TheBMA England #LMCConf where GP representatives meet on behalf of GPs looking after 69mn patients. We need a huge investment from the new govt. NHS gen practice is bedrock of NHS & only receives 6% of the NHS pie. Invest in us & we can deliver. GPs are incredible value for money
Dr Vicky Theakston proposes rejection of the "primary care doctor" role.
We need fully qualified GPs!!
Dr Eimear Byrne says "you can prise the [protected] title General Practitioner from my cold dead hands"
#GP #LMCConf
ARRS slammed at #LMCConf
Instead of expanding it, Partners, Sessional and Registrars united that GPs should be practice based and appropriately paid, to keep high quality and continuity in care.
The funding needs to move back to General Practice.
#RestoreTheCore #GP
Second motion on GP focused funding at #lmcconf.
Powerful arguments with some challenge on the word condemn in iv.
All passed with a button vote needed on iv.
What do you think?
UK GPs: who else is at #LMCconf? I can see @drkatie.bsky.social @drgandalf.bsky.social @davidwrigley.bsky.social @dr-rachel-ali.bsky.social.... who else?
First motion at #lmcconf focused on tasking ICBs to be responsible, transparent and supportive to patients on commissioning gaps.
All three parts passed.
What does the future hold for GP premises? On our podcast this week Dr Gaurav Gupta from @the-bma.bsky.social GP committee speaks to @emmabower.bsky.social about all things premises. Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts gponline.com/podcast-does... #lmcconf #GPnews
If you are willing to work for free - don't be surprised if other parts of the NHS take you for granted.
