Send us a text

In this episode of the NHS News show, hosts Emma Borders and Simon discuss pressing issues in primary care and recent NHS developments, focusing on Health Secretary Wes Streeting's commitment to reform amidst funding disparities. They highlight the alarming trend of GP practices returning contracts due to unsustainable costs, which leaves many patients without care.
The conversation also addresses the challenges of integrating technology in patient care due to staff digital literacy gaps, and GPs' concerns regarding workload management amid potential industrial action. The episode ends on a positive note with high patient satisfaction rates from the GP survey, encouraging healthcare workers to focus on successful interactions while maintaining supportive communication within the community.

Emma is a senior nurse and Si is a Paramedic and Advanced Clinical Practitioner. Representing Primary Care UK, they discuss what these news headlines mean for us working in the front line.
