RCGP guidance, bigotry, and incompetence leads UK Doctors to force trans adults to detransition – TransActual

Family #doctors’ leaders have criticised ministers for giving #GP surgeries in England a “derisory” increase in their funding, despite surgeries seeing record numbers of patients.

The #RoyalCollegeOfGPs (#RCGP) has warned that the 1.9% rise in the #budget for general practice for 2024/25 will leave hard-pressed GPs struggling to provide the care that patients expect.

Being a full time GP is now ‘unmanageable’, says College

The College has responded to today’s Nuffield Trust report on the NHS ‘dropout’ crisis, in which the think-tank claims that GP trainees are going part-time or leaving the profession shortly after qualifying.

Today I demonstrated I'm not an artist by modeling a traffic cone! #screenshotsaturday

I also spent a few hours re-learning #blender3d , and this month spent numerous hours on planning, design, and project admin, and who knows how much time I lost fixing a bug in #UE5 's build system.

I'm going to make progress on #RCGP if it kills me.

@wesstreeting - if this is accurate you really need to talk to #RCGP and #PrimaryCare #GP leaders about what partnerships and the current status brings to the NHS. If you don’t understand what will be lost you will make a bad situation far far worse. @UKLabour @rcgp

The new #RCGP Chair only started on Saturday but she has made a big splash on the Guardian today. All about moral distress but this final part is important - all political parties are doing this and focusing on access.

Of course, people are worried about seeing a GP - but it simply can't be done in many places with available resources. And it adds to abuse of GPs, to GP bashing, and it *will* make it worse.
