Representation for NASGP members from the RCGP, BMA, CQC, GMC and MPS
A BMA poll last week found that 12% of locum GPs had not received their first vaccination against the virus by 23 January - compared with just 2% of partners and 7% of salaried GPs.
Without a centralised system for delivering the vaccine to healthcare workers, sessional GPs must undertake their own ‘trial and error’ strategy to get their first jab.
GPs in England are being urged to use their vote on a new directed enhanced service (DES) about primary care networks (PCN).

The NASGP supports calls by the RCGP to prioritise Black, Asian and minority ethnic patients for Covid-19 vaccinations, given the extensive evidence that they are at higher risk.
The BMA’s new statement gives practices the support they need to make their own decisions about how to get through the second wave.
GP locums are calling for safe working conditions, better training, and a seat at the table in primary care’s recovery from the pandemic at this year’s conference.
NHS England has previously highlighted the NASGP’s Spip resource and Appraisal Aid as resources that improve coordination between practices and the GP locums they employ.
NASGP fully supports Dame Prof Gerada’s calls for better support at work, and confidential services for clinicians to prevent mental ill health.
Wellbeing, working patterns and career priorities are all top of the agenda, with Richard explaining how Locum Chambers and Balint groups support GPs’ wellbeing at work
