This is a significant achievement, and the credit is all yours.Background to previous negotiation milestones with labour …We struck the first contract deal with the BMA GPCE in 4 years last year, backed by £1.1billion in 2025/26 (an 8.9% cash uplift), the biggest in over a decade.Within months of entering government, we invested an additional £82 million into the ARRS scheme and removed red tape to allow you to recruit over 2,500 extra GPs. I am now actively looking at ways I can introduce further flexibilities into the scheme to continue boosting GP employment.To ensure general practice is rewarded for the additional work you take on through advice and guidance, we have introduced a financial incentive backed by additional funding.GPs at forefront of developing INTsAmidst all this brilliant work, you will be aware that the BMA GPCE has launched a formal dispute with the government over the 1st October online access contract changes which they agreed to, and which the vast majority of practices have now adopted.Accuses KBS of unprofessional behviour regarding speech at LMC conferenceI sincerely hope the BMA GPCE will choose to de-escalate their dispute.I will shortly be writing to the BMA GPCE and a range of general practice stakeholders to begin consultation for the 2026/27 GMS contract, ensuring we reflect the diversity of views amongst the profession and patients as we establish our next steps to get general practice back on its feet and make it fit for the future.Join Dr Mike as he shares how to get started and fly using EMIS to make your life easier with this clinical systembit.ly/EMIScourse
