#GPStateOfEmergency

GPs in London and across the country have declared a #GPstateofemergency.

Patients risk losing their GPs unless the pressures on general practice are dramatically and appropriately eased.

Whether you are a partner, a salaried GP or a freelance locum; whether you are a nurse, a manager, a member of the team, or a patient, we hear the same message again and again: general practice is on its knees and can’t take any more.

To help practice staff to manage the increasing workload, Londonwide LMCs has produced some emergency guidance to manage requests for unresourced work and identify and communicate to patients activities that aren’t covered by your core contract.

We will be adding new resources over the coming months and want your feedback on what else would be useful.

With thanks to GP Survival, Resilient GPs, GPC and Practice Index for their support and shared materials.
