GPonline is the media partner for the RCGP annual conference and this is the second of three special episodes from the event in Liverpool this week.

In this episode Emma speaks to Dr Victoria Tzortziou Brown, the RCGP’s vice chair for external affairs and Dr Micahel Mullholland, the college’s honorary secretary about what went on at the conference this morning, in particular what RCGP chair Professor Kamila Hawthorne had to say in her speech. They also talk about health inequalities, continuity of care and what the college wants to see in the government’s 10-year plan for the NHS.

Emma also speaks to the college’s safeguarding lead Dr Joy Shacklock about the RCGP’s new safeguarding standards, which have been launched at the conference today, and what they mean for GPs and their teams. And she talks to Dr Catherine Millington-Sanders the college’s clinical lead for palliative and end-of-life Care about the RCGP and Marie Curie’s Daffodil Standards and how they can help practices improve end of life care.

This episode was presented by GPonline editor Emma Bower. It was produced by Czarina Deen.
