New paper in @bjgp.bsky.social by @luisaptg.bsky.social @jaketreenotsea.bsky.social @hughalderwick.bsky.social and me, exploring the implications of the NHS Ten Year Plan ambition to shift care from hospital to community, and what it means for general practice👇🏻

Improving access to GPs remains the public's top priority for the NHS, and a central concern for policymakers.

@luisaptg.bsky.social​ explores whether changes to the GP contract and the new general practice patient charter will really spell the end of the ‘8am scramble’ ⬇️
