Doctor is working

Doctor will provide a free

Pulse, GP and Doctor are now only being distributed regularly
to ‘GP principals’, with only the surplus being randomly distributed to
sessional GPs. This decision has been taken by their publishers as an economic
and environmental decision, as so many have been going to practices and have
remained unopened.
We have been liaising with the distributors, and have come up with a way that
should help us sessional GPs receive copies much more frequently, but it will
require a little effort on your behalf.
We’re therefore asking all members to print or forward this letter on to any
practice manager at practices that appear to have a surplus of Pulse/GP/Doctor.
All they have to do is complete the letter and send it to the distributor. This
will free up spare copies, and so create a greater amount of copies to sessional
GPs. Hopefully, there will be enough spare copies in the system so that we
eventually all get one a week!

What's happened to Pulse, GP
& Doctor - they're now being rationed. So
what can we do about it? We're currently in
direct contact with the distribution
company, and are hatching some plans as to
what other action to take...watch this

It's
taken ages - 2 or 3
years (we've lost
count!) - for this to be
released, but here it
is. BMA Guidance on
locum rates. A working
group set up by the BMA,
involving
representatives from the
NASGP and GPC Sessional
GPs sub-committee, have
put this all together
based on the initial
document from the NASGP
and finally chewed over
for approximately 18
months by the BMA's
lawyers so that it now
exists in a form
palatable to the Office
of Fair Trading
