NHS Digital Investment in General Practice report: The committee received the newly published Investment in General Practice report by NHS Digital. It was noted that 2017/18 had seen £10.2bn invested in general practice (excluding drug reimbursement & GPs in A&E) in England, which represented 8.1% of the NHS budget and therefore fell £3.6bn short of the BMA’s target level of investment (11% of NHS budget). The GPC has expressed serious concern that the proportion of the NHS budget going to general practice in England, excluding the reimbursement of drugs, had fallen from 9.6% in 2005/06 to 7.4% in 2013/14 and was now 8.1% in 2017/18.
Recruitment/Speed Dating Evening 17th October Dillington House: Are you an GP or GP Trainee looking for the right practice / employer to meet your career aspirations?

BMJ Careers Fair: We have secured a stand at this fair for the GP in Somerset campaign and will be sharing all the good work and info with delegates in the hope that a few may decide to come and live and work in the South West, if your practice has a current or future vacancy please complete this template for us to share.
Sessional GPs e-newsletter – UK: The September issue of the sessional GP newsletter includes an article on the updated FAQs for state- backed indemnity for GPs by Matt Mayer, Sessional GPC exec and Mark Sanford-Wood, GPC exec.
