ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This week Nick and Emma discuss the latest on list cleaning and what it means for GP funding, as well as how it is affecting individual practices and patients.
They look again at neighbourhood contracts after seeing various responses to NHS England’s consultation - they assess what GP organisations and others had to say about the proposals and what it could mean longer term.
And they talk about access and continuity following the results from our own survey and also the publication of a report by MPs into access across all areas of primary care,.
This week’s good news story is about the CQC showcasing positive work in general practice.
This episode was presented by GPonline editor Emma Bower and deputy editor Nick Bostock. It was produced by Czarina Deen.
