Advice and guidance hotspots, GP pay recommendations, funding GP premises
The GPonline team discusses the key news stories affecting general practice.
This week Emma and Nick look at the new advice and guidance directed enhanced service, which will pay practices for GPs making use of local advice and guidance systems. Nick explains the huge variation of uptake of advice and guidance across England and what this could mean for practices delivering the enhanced service. You can find out about uptake in your local area in our story here https://www.gponline.com/will-gps-earn-advice-guidance-des/article/1915073
They also talk about public sector pay reviews and whether the government is likely to agree to fund any recommendations for this year if they are over and above the 2.8% that has been planned for.
And they discuss the state of GP premises and whether there is any chance that the government will stump up the money needed to improve premises in the coming years.
Our good news story is an update on a story we discussed a couple of weeks ago about enhanced services in Lancashire and Cumbria.
This episode was presented by GPonline editor Emma Bower and deputy editor Nick Bostock. It was produced by Czarina Deen.
