Welcome to the Hot Topics podcast with Dr Neal Tucker and the first in a new series of interviews with key contributors to UK general practice from the world of politics, policy and research.

We start with one of the most important hot topics of 2024 - the possibility of industrial action by general practice in England. We are joined by Dr Katie Bramall-Stainer, chair of the GPC England, to discuss how we have got to this point and the role of the BMA, what industrial action would look like in general practice, and how much impact these measures would have on practices, patients and negotiations for a new contract.
