NASGP chair to join industry panel on workforce crisis

Dr Richard Fieldhouse will join Pulse editor Jaimie Kaffash, GPC deputy Dr Samira Anane, Doctors’ Association UK GP spokesperson Dr Steve Taylor, and NHS Confederation primary care network chair Professor Aruna Garcea at a panel next month.

‘Are unemployed GPs collateral damage of the NHS’s big plans?’ will take place at a free event, Pulse LIVE, in London on 18 March.

Tickets are available for free online.

Dr Fieldhouse, NASGP chair, will also attend both days of the event offering advice at an NASGP stand.

Dr Fieldhouse said: “This is our second year attending these popular Pulse Live events, and I really enjoy the dozens of conversations I have with a wide range of colleagues, from GPs in training, through to GP partners, practice managers and career GP locums.

“I’m also looking forward to being on the panel discussion with such eminent colleagues, especially talking to this topic which has brought so much existential angst to our close colleagues and the broader public.”

"NASGP came along way before people understood the need for sessional and small group practices to be valued by the system. On joining as a single-handed GP many years ago, I was welcomed into the team by initially wrote a few blogs for the organisation, which followed my understanding of yet another NHS reorganisation. It was only due to the vision and drive of Richard, your founder, that NASGP survived the large practice dominance. The inception of being a portal for the needs of GP locums was a masterstroke. Those who knew about it quickly realised the true meaning of networking. So here we are many years down the line and in footballing terminology NASGP now play in the Premier League.
"Well done to all as this is a just reward for the loyalty, dedication and hard work of your team. I have fond memories of working with NASGP and would urge every practice, large or small, to join this organisation, there are only gains and no losses."
