Introduction
We would encourage Rotherham GP Practices to protect themselves, and their GP's by slowing down, putting a limit on the number of patients seen each day and making workload manageable and safe. You can just choose to implement any changes a little bit at a time and pushback on secondary to primary care workload demands.
We will continue to upload useful documents and template letters below.
Meanwhile, there is a useful webpage on the BMA website covering Safe Working in General Practice. The GPC have published 2024/25 contract guidance documents, to help you consider how best to approach the contract changes. These documents cover:
- Dispensing and prescribing
- GP data sharing and controllership
- Limited Liability Partnerships and the GMS contract
- Medical Associate Professions in General Practice
- 2024 Premises Cost Directions
- Use of enhanced access appointments
- Vaccinations and Immunisations
- Proformas and referral forms
- Spending and the PCN DES capacity and access payment funding
