The GP crisis with Rebecca Rosen
This week, we discuss the ongoing GP crisis, an ever-topical subject, in light of recent UK governmental changes. In early September, Thérèse Coffey laid out her plans for the NHS in the House of Commons, but, with general practice struggling so much as it is, is she proposing practical and feasible solutions, or will her initiatives be merely papering over the cracks? We’re joined by Rebecca Rosen to discuss whether or not there’s any real substance behind the proposed changes, how to manage patients’ expectations around access to care, and how primary care practitioners might be best supported in order to help ease the strain on them.
Our guest:
Rebecca Rosen is a GP in South East London, and a senior fellow in Health Policy at the Nuffield Trust.
