SUMMARY:What to do with your premises: succession/retirement planning - Kernow LMC webinar  
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever considered whether a sale and leaseback transaction would resolve your succession planning issues? Or\, if putting a lease in place between the retired GPs and the existing partnership would be a better option? \nThis webinar\, organised by Kernow LMC\, will be run by a primary care expert speaker involved with supporting GP practices with all their premises-related issues nationwide. \nThey will explore: \n\nThe main premises options to consider when beginning GP practice succession and retirement planning.\nHow to avoid common costly pitfalls.\nHow a robust succession plan can help alleviate partnership recruitment problems.\n\nWhen you consider a significant proportion of GP partners are within five years of the average retirement age of 58\, putting a succession plan in place has never been so important. \nThe webinar will take place on Tuesday\, 30 September\, from 1–2pm\, over MS Teams. There will also be an opportunity for Q&As. \nIf you wish to register for the webinar – and possibly submit questions in advance – please email rich@kernowlmc.co.uk for the weblink.

SUMMARY:How to maximise your GP practice’s Primary Care Network income – Kernow LMC webinar
DESCRIPTION:Five years into one of the biggest transfers of core funding that GP practices have seen\, and there remains a level of disconnect between practices\, and the funding entitlements from their networks. \nThis effective pooling of significant NHS funding now represents a huge part of overall practice income\, but many practices continue to receive very little information or funding from their network\, which on top of leaving a funding gap\, can also expose practices to adverse tax issues. \nIn this online session\, hosted by Kernow LMC and delivered by local specialist medical accountants Albert Goodman – on Wednesday\, 12 February\, from 1-2pm – we will cover network finances and what you need to know as a practice\, to ensure that you are receiving what you are entitled to\, the tax implications of inaction\, and the importance of standing up for your own practice’s position within your network. \nWe will also discuss the importance of your accountant being on your side to liaise with the network\, the fundamental problems that can arise from holding back significant income\, and the importance of a clear and comprehensive set of network accounts delivered in a timely manner. \nIf you would like to attend the webinar\, please register by emailing rich@kernowlmc.co.uk by noon on Thursday\, 6 February. The cost is £20. It will take place via Microsoft Teams.

SUMMARY:The rise in National Insurance and your GP practice – Kernow LMC webinar
DESCRIPTION:The Autumn 2024 budget immediately increased staff costs for GP practices by way of the increased employer’s National Insurance contributions\, with practices having no access to the reliefs for this afforded to many other businesses. \nAs a result\, practices have been left with real concerns as to what their staffing costs and structures may look like\, in what is already a challenging time for workloads. \nThe response has been one of consternation but\, with no clarity at the time of writing as to what\, if any\, funding may be given to cover some of this increase\, practices need to understand how they will be affected\, and what they can do in practice. \nThis online session\, hosted by Kernow LMC and delivered by local specialist medical accountants Albert Goodman – on Wednesday\, 5 February\, from 1-2pm – will cover the implications of the increase for practices\, and key considerations in light of this increase to their cost base. \nCovering the detail of the increases\, the importance of staff budgets and control over costs\, and the various strategies that are open to practices on staffing and partner earnings\, this session will give practices the tools they need to balance the need to effectively staff their practice\, to maintaining partner earnings. \nIf you would like to attend the webinar\, please register by emailing rich@kernowlmc.co.uk by noon on Wednesday\, 29 January. The cost is £20. It will take place via Microsoft Teams.

SUMMARY:GP Workload\, Safe Working\, 25 in 2025 – workshop to make this happen
DESCRIPTION:The LMC is proud to announce a joint program with The Cornwall Primary Care Training Hub and Collaborative Board to help us all progress towards the British Medical Association’s safe working guidance. We often hear this called 25 patients a day. In recent months\, the question we are most frequently asked is: “how do I do it?”. Well\, we want to help show that path. \nWe are organising a series of four events throughout 2025\, maybe even described as a course. The first session will be on 29 January from 7pm-9pm and will be online. A face to face session will follow in March to really drive it forward. Then June to catch up and adjust\, with summary or next steps planning in the Autumn. \nThe Training Hub has secured Rachel Morris\, host of the ‘You Are Not A Frog’ podcast\, former GP and specialist in Resilience at Work\, to support these sessions. We feel she will add the inspiration and mindset shift work to help us realise this is all within our power to achieve. \nMany healthcare professionals in primary care are experiencing overwhelming workloads\, and the pressure on our services is increasing. But it’s just not possible to cram yet more into an already overscheduled day. The only answer is to prioritise what’s really important\, set boundaries and say no. You’ll learn how to focus on what you can control and then deal with the inevitable\, yet uncomfortable\, pushback that can cause our boundaries to crumble. \nWe will then use local examples of GP practices doing 25 patients a day to show how it can be done within our Cornish system\, without breaking patient relations or causing too much overflow into other areas of the system – ultimately improving patient care and our working lives. You will then take this back to practices to implement the changes. We aim to build some peer to peer support tools for the interim periods. \nOur hope is one or two representatives from each GP practice will be able to join us\, wherever you are on the journey to 25 a day. If you’re there your role will be to help others\, if you haven’t even thought about it then we will help you move that way. We are clearly developing a strategy to make this work\, but peer support will be key too and we hope this can be the start of a grassroots support network that focuses on what matters most to us all – the quality of our working lives and our ability to deliver quality patient services. \nSo\, for now\, have a chat and decide who wants to come\, save the date\, and book your place here. (No limits to the first webinar – more the merrier). \n25 in 2025 – bring it on.

SUMMARY:What a GP needs to know about their Pension – Kernow LMC webinar
DESCRIPTION:The LMC and Chase de Vere Medical – the only BMA endorsed independent financial advisers – are delivering a CPD accredited webinar for local GPs on ‘What a GP needs to know about the NHS Pension Scheme’ on Wednesday\, 22 January\, from 1-2pm. \nWhen it comes to the NHS pension scheme\, GPs really are being squeezed\, with some having paid and some still facing heavy tax penalties. It’s a small wonder then that one in five GPs are considering abandoning the NHS pension scheme altogether. \nPerhaps you are considering it\, too? But at what cost? \nLeave the scheme and you could lose valuable additional benefits – like enhanced inflation-proofing and financial protection for you and your family. \nBeing unaware or ill-informed could have devastating consequences. \nBefore you do anything which could seriously affect your financial well-being\, make sure you have the facts. \nChase de Vere Medical will talk you through the pros and cons of being a member of the NHS pension scheme\, including upcoming changes and the current situation regarding the McCloud Judgement and Pension taxation. \nYou will learn precisely what has changed in a way that is very relevant to you. You will also benefit from some general pointers on how to make the most of your NHS Pension. \nThe webinar will cover: \n\nThe changes following the introduction of the 2015 Pension Scheme\, the McCloud Judgement and how these could affect you.\nThe implications of pension taxation and Government changes to how the annual allowance will be calculated.\nThe implications of the lifetime allowance\, with examples and mitigation strategies. Changes being introduced to the NHS Pension Scheme and the additional benefits of being a member.\nQ&A session.\nEveryone is entitled to a complimentary consultation should they require it following the presentation.\n\nIf you would like to attend the webinar\, please register by emailing rich@kernowlmc.co.uk by noon on Friday\, January 17. The cost is £20. It will take place via Microsoft Teams.

SUMMARY:LMC weekly update - 1 November\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:Autumn Budget statement \nThis week’s budget announcement has left GP partners hugely concerned about the significant rise in employment costs from April 2025 and the impact this will have on their practice. For many the cost of these changes to national insurance contributions and the lowering of the threshold will be a hammer blow to practice finances. Previously\, these cost increases have been fully compensated\, but Treasury officials have said there will be no reimbursement this time. \nThis is completely unacceptable and as a GP partner myself\, I know how stressful and difficult announcements like this can be. We are NHS GPs and have been in partnerships since the inception of the NHS and all we are asking is to be treated like all other parts of the NHS who will see these costs reimbursed. We are not like traditional businesses who have shareholders or who can increase their costs when increased expenses arise\, and we are making this quite clear to Government and their officials. \nWe need the Government to rapidly change its mind\, and you can help us put pressure on it by writing to your local MP using our online tool. \nThe chancellor has publicly committed to ‘no reduction in spending powers across the NHS’\, which\, we have been told\, includes NHS general practice. However\, at the same time the Treasury has been saying that GP practices may not be compensated in full. We need clarity and certainty\, not promises and conjecture. \nWe are on your side\, and we are doing all we can to sort this problem out and make the Government see sense. \nGPC England is due to meet on 14 November and the conference of England LMCs is taking place on 22 November\, where discussions will be taking place on the flexibilities and asks within the £22bn headline budget figure\, as well as the insufficient capital around estate and premises commitments. The team is aware of the concerns of practices and want to assure you that we have this at the top of our agenda. \n\nCollective action \nThank you to every practice now taking part in our collective action to protect our patients and practices. These actionshave already\, and will continue to\, make a difference: they are safe\, sustainable\, and do not breach your contract. Most importantly\, these actions are turning up the pressure on the Government to do the right thing for patients and general practice. We are the bedrock of the NHS\, but our services have been driven to near collapse. \nWe need you to take action to protect our patients and protect our practices. \nFocus on: patient appointments \nWe are producing more guidance around individual collective actions to support practices in undertaking specific actions. This week we are focusing on patient appointments. \nWatch our collective action video on patient appointments \nThis two-minute video shows GPC England colleagues’ views on this specific collective action. We are asking you to consider extending patient appointments to give patients more time to address their health concerns and create a sustainable working day for GPs and stop supporting the system at the expense of your patients\, practice and staff. \nBMA GP opinion survey 2024 \nThe latest BMA GP opinion survey is open. This annual survey gathers GPs’ views on current issues and opportunities facing general practice\, helping to influence and inform this year’s contract negotiations in addition to our longer-term strategy of promoting and protecting the future of general practice. \nThe survey is open to all GPs in England\, including partners\, salarieds\, locums\, and GP registrars at ST3 and above. It is open to GPs working in all settings and practices\, wider primary care roles\, trusts\, urgent care\, and secure or out-of-hours settings. \nParticipants do not need to be a member of the BMA to participate but we will need a GMC number to ensure that responses are coming from eligible GPs based in England. All responses will be anonymised. \nThe survey will close on Monday\, 11 November\, at 9am. We urge you to complete the survey as soon as possible\, to ensure GPC England’s negotiating position is made as strong as possible. \nBringing back the family doctor: a roundtable discussion \nGPC England will be holding a roundtable discussion ‘Bringing back the Family Doctor’ at 2–4pm on 28 November at BMA House. \nIn advance of the event\, you can read our recently published paper\, Patients First: why general practice is broken and how we can fix it. This paper outlines the critical steps required to prevent the closure of local practices\, retain experienced NHS GPs\, and provide the necessary funding for practices to recruit additional GPs and practice nurses to increase appointment availability and better continuity of care. \nFlu vaccinations \nFlu vaccinations for practice staff \nAs in previous years\, under the terms of the flu enhanced service\, practices are able to provide flu vaccination to their patient-facing staff. Unfortunately\, while these will not be eligible for an item of service payment due to an NHSE decision\, such vaccinations will be covered under CNSGP. \nFlu vaccinations for locum GPs \nLocum GPs are also eligible to receive free flu vaccination under the flu enhanced service. While this may be received from their registered practice\, under the terms of the ES they do not need to be a registered patient in order to receive the vaccination\, and so may receive it from their substantive workplace\, if applicable\, and vaccinations provided to locum GPs are eligible for an item of service payment\, as with other patient cohorts. Further guidance on this\, including how such vaccinations should be recorded\, is available on the NHS England website. \nNHS England 10-year health plan \nDHSC and NHS England have launched a consultation – Change NHS – to help inform the development of a new 10-year health plan. The consultation is looking for ideas on how the NHS can improve\, as well as views on these three proposed ‘shifts’; moving more care from hospitals into the community; going from analogue to digital; and moving toward prevention and away from sickness. The BMA is developing its response to the consultation\, but individual NHS workers can also respond to a separate survey on the Change NHS website. \nUEMO statement on MAPs and letter on prison doctors \nAt the UEMO (European Union of General Practitioners) autumn general assembly in Brussels over the weekend of 19 Oct\, UEMO published a statement expressing its concern with the deployment of MAPs (medical associate professionals). The statement calls on governments across Europe to legislate prohibiting the unsupervised initial assessment\, unverified diagnosis\, treatment\, and discharge of the undifferentiated patient by MAPs. The statement was proposed by our own committee member\, UEMO vice president and head of the UK delegation\, Peter Holden and was agreed to unanimously. \nThe statement goes on to unequivocally support the ethos that holistic cost-effective family medicine requires continuity of care primarily delivered by substantively appointed generalist professionals in (small and locally based) organisations acting as the first point of contact for patients\, and which holds the patient’s lifetime record of care and draws in specialist skills as judged clinically necessary. \nDo you look after asylum seekers or refugees? \nIt is well-evidenced that this group of patients continue to face significant barriers accessing appropriate and timely healthcare. We’re now looking to conduct a survey to capture your experiences\, so the BMA can better support you in enhancing healthcare services for asylum seekers and refugees. Look out for our survey which will launch next week. \nSupporting GP registrars in practice placements – supernumerary status \nThe GP registrars committee is aware that some GP registrars are facing challenges in securing leave and would like to clarify their status as supernumerary to the practice workforce. \nGP registrars play a vital role in practice teams\, bringing valuable clinical skills to patient care as part of their training. However\, they are additional to the core workforce and should not be relied upon to meet staffing requirements or staffing gaps. Embedding this principle into workforce planning is essential for creating a supportive training environment that allows registrars to develop effectively. \nThank you for helping ensure registrars feel valued and well-supported in their roles. \nRead more about the work of GPC England and practical guidance for GP practices.  \n  \nSee the latest update on X @BMA_GP and read about BMA in the media.  \n  \nContact us: info.GPC@bma.org.uk \n  \nRead the latest GPCE bulletin: Autumn Budget statement | collective action | GP opinion survey
