This week Emma and Nick talk about how adding GPs to the additional roles reimbursement scheme has impacted on the workforce in different parts of the country. They look at what the government has to say about the ARRS and asking whether it is painting an accurate picture of the current state of the GP workforce in England.
They also discuss what the BMA wants the government to do to avert a jobs crisis for newly qualified GPs this summer. This formed part of a series of red lines that it said the government had to deliver to avoid further industrial dispute by the profession, and Emma and Nick explain what these are and what has led the BMA to make these demands.
Our good news story this week is about some more data from an innovative fruit and veg prescription project that’s running in East London.
This episode was presented by GPonline editor Emma Bower and deputy editor Nick Bostock. It was produced by Czarina Deen.
