Emma and NIck discuss the fallout from the budget and what the increase in employer’s national insurance contributions will mean for GP practices, including looking at the results from our own survey on this issue.

They look ahead to next week’s England local medical committee conference and some of the topics that are up for debate and what they tell us about some of the key concerns facing the profession.

And they discuss salaried GP pay, after warnings that the GP jobs crisis is driving down levels of pay for salaried GPs.

This week’s good news story is about ONS survey data that suggests patient satisfaction with general practice is rising rapidly.

This episode was presented by GPonline editor Emma Bower and deputy editor Nick Bostock. It was produced by Czarina Deen.
