Written response to GP partnership review
We have provided a written response to the GP Partnership Review which is being conducted for the Department of Health and Social Care by Dr Nigel Watson of Wessex LMCs.
Our response includes calls to alleviate the pressures on partnerships created by premises ownership, upgrading physical and digital infrastructure, expanding the skill mix of practice teams and protected time for education and training.
We hope to hold a further meeting with Nigel and the review team, giving them another opportunity to speak with London GPs and practice team members.
