    Sympathise with our colleagues in busy Emergency Departments, but we need to be clear and honest with the public. While we recognise access challenges in GP, this is not the cause and primary care experiencing similar levels of pressure, battling to the demand capacity mismatch

    Dr Dorman talks about GP surgery appointments, patient cancer fears, baby clinics & importance of vaccinations. Covid19 is a serious matter but if you have worries about your health do what you normally do: ring your GP. We are still here for you @laurence903 @rcgp @ursulaamason

    We welcome the Minister's commitment to supporting primary care as one of his top priorities alongside pay and waiting lists and in particular, his commitment to the rollout of MDTs in general practice. We look forward to working constructively with him to see this delivered
