In this episode of the NHS News show, hosts Emma Borders and Simon discuss pressing issues in primary care and recent NHS developments, focusing on Health Secretary Wes Streeting's commitment to reform amidst funding disparities. They highlight the alarming trend of GP practices returning contracts due to unsustainable costs, which leaves many patients without care.
The conversation also addresses the challenges of integrating technology in patient care due to staff digital literacy gaps, and GPs' concerns regarding workload management amid potential industrial action. The episode ends on a positive note with high patient satisfaction rates from the GP survey, encouraging healthcare workers to focus on successful interactions while maintaining supportive communication within the community.
Emma is a senior nurse and Si is a Paramedic and Advanced Clinical Practitioner. Representing Primary Care UK, they discuss what these news headlines mean for us working in the front line.

Imagine you had a time-bomb inside your body ticking away... now imagine that your GP surgery had the ability to detect it and defuse it, but didn't. How would that make you feel?
Familial hypercholesterolaemia is common and dangerous without treatment, yet most cases remain undiagnosed. The condition highlights the key role that primary care plays in terms of genomics.
IN THIS EPISODE Claire and Munir speak with those who have a clear insight into FH as a genomics condition, what you working in primary care can and should do, and that it's really not that difficult.
There is also brief coverage of Cystic Fibrosis, which in fact is one of three conditions where primary care has direct access to genetics.
Special thanks to our guest speakers:
Dominic Studdart, specialist Genomics nurse
Anwar Khan, GP with special interest in Genomics.
