In this episode of Pulse in Focus: The Podcast for GPs, editor Sofia Lind and features assistant Maya Dhillon discuss the role of physician associates (PAs) and how the chancellor’s spending review will impact GPs.
The pair reflect on Sofia's interview with Professor Gillian Leng – leader of the Government-commissioned review into PAs – at Pulse LIVE Birmingham last week. Ahead of the report's publication, Professor Leng shares some previously unheard insights into her findings, including scope, supervision, regulation and more.
Maya and Sofia then scrutinise the chancellor's spending review, which had a particular emphasis on training ‘thousands more GPs’. They are joined by GPC England chair Dr Katie Bramall who gives her view on how the £29bn uplift to the NHS should be allocated to best support general practice.
And finally, GP and Pulse clinical advisor Dr Keith Hopcroft discusses how GPs should manage antidepressant withdrawal, following new research.
