"The challenge is always going to be implementation." Our chief executive, @confedmatt.bsky.social spoke to @listentotimesradio.bsky.social about the government's ten-year plan and the three shifts associated with it.
Our chief executive @confedmatt.bsky.social told the BBC today that the ten-year health plan is "incredibly ambitious" that calls for the NHS to do things that have been talked about for decades but not achieved.
New IT systems for GPs are a significant and encouraging step forwards, and something we have been advocating for on behalf of members. Read our primary care director @rrankine.bsky.social's response 🔗 buff.ly/DS9Ej3I
Great to finally see plans to address this through a reform of GP funding formula, something we have consistently been pushing for over a number of years. @nhsconfed.org #PCnetwork www.thetimes.com/uk/healthcar...
