    Advice and guidance linked to patient harm, list cleaning hits deprived areas, Mounjaro prescribing

    Our regular news review is back! In this week’s episode Emma, Nick and Kimberley look at advice and guidance and single point of access for referrals after our own survey found that most GPs have seen a referral rejected inappropriately and nearly one in 10 have seen a patient harmed as a result. Meanwhile an interim report by the Health Services Safety Investigations Body (HSSIB) has linked advice and guidance to two patient deaths. They discuss list clearing after an analysis by Nick found that deprived areas have been hit hardest by this process, and figures showed 200,000 patients were cut from GP lists in a single month. Nick explains what this all means for practices and GP funding. And they look at the roll out of tirzepatide or Mounjaro, after an investigation by Kimberley suggested that less than a quarter of eligible patients were prescribed the drug on the NHS over the past year. This week’s good news story is about a fall in ICU admissions for infants after roll out of the RSV vaccine. This episode was presented by GPonline editor Emma Bower, deputy editor Nick Bostock and senior reporter Kimberley Hackett. It was produced by Czarina Deen.   Useful links ●     GPs report patient harm as referral reforms kick in ●     AI responses, patronising advice, more work: GP verdict on advice and guidance ●     Watchdog links advice and guidance to patient deaths ●     Deprived areas hit hardest by 'reckless' list cleaning ●     Huge acceleration in list cleaning cuts 200,000 patients in a single month ●     Just 1 in 4 eligible patients prescribed tirzepatide, GPonline investigation suggests ●     GPs need support to speed up NHS tirzepatide rollout, says MP Hosted on Acast.

    New BMA England GP committee chair Dr Clare Bannon on securing a better deal for general practice

    This week Emma speaks to the new chair of the BMA England GP committee Dr Clare Bannon. Clare has been in the role for just over a month and, in this conversation, she sets out her priorities and her plans to reset the BMA’s relationship with the government and NHS England. She discusses the committee’s key demands, including an extra £40 to £50 per patient in core funding and meaningful GP contract reform - and the importance of establishing a roadmap to meet those aims. She also talks about the underemployment crisis facing sessional GPs, the controversy surrounding NHS England’s list cleaning exercise, and concerns over single point of access referral pathways. And she shares her thoughts on neighbourhood health contracts and where the committee stands on further collective action - and a potential Plan B ballot. This episode is presented by GPonline editor Emma Bower. It was produced by Czarina Deen.
