Hey #MedMastodon & #TeamGP - let's say you could wave a magic wand and make #NHS general practice better.

What would be on your wish list?

🩺 more GPVTS training places?

☑️ the end of QOF?

🏘️ a better resourced social care system?

Thoughts please, the more radical the better

Wise words by a GP colleague of mine. (Not a direct colleague, part of the wider #teamGP)
Not sure if he's on here but if you are, Pete Aird, hi!
