The BMA’s GPs committee England (GPCE) has updated its safe working guidance, to support and enable practices to prioritise their delivery of safe, high-quality patient care, within the regulatory and professional expectations of the Primary Medical Services (GMS/PMS) Contract.
This is about putting patient safety first – GPs are on your side.
In short this means that when we are at capacity, we may direct you to other services like your local pharmacy or NHS 111 if appropriate. Read the guidance at bma.org.uk/GPsSafeWorking
