We asked you in a survey earlier this month what could be done to reduce the bureaucracy and workload in general practice, and you provided over 400 ideas!

What can be done quickly to reduce bureaucracy in general practice this winter? All practices in Dorset have been asked to feedback to NHS Dorset system leaders what they would like to see stop and improve to make general practice more efficient.

Liz Hoskinson was appointed as the Allied Health Professional Lead Role and Ian Gall as the Patient & Participation Lead Role

The event will feature updates from Patricia Miller, CEO of the Integrated Care Board (ICB), our guest speaker Dr Kheelna Bavalia, NHS England Medical Director, as well as presentations by Dr Forbes Watson, Chair of the new Dorset General Practice Alliance and Dr Andy Purbrick of the LMC.

At the first meeting of the Alliance on 10 August 2022, Forbes Watson was elected clinical chair by the board, including elected representatives from Dorset’s 18 Primary Care Networks (PCNs).

The Dorset General Practice Alliance has appointed Tim Goodson, former Chief Officer at Dorset CCG, as Executive Officer.
