"Matthew's professional and prompt communication was impressive.

Within a week, he arranged a lengthy phone call to understand my preferences and secured two interviews.

He also sent plenty of pre-interview materials and acted in my best interest.

As a result, I landed the job I wanted at one of the practices and he even reached out after I started to ensure everything was going well.

I can't recommend them highly enough and especially thanks to Matthew Okey."

We love getting feedback like this for the team! 🙌 If you're a GP on the look out for a new role - feel free to reach out to Matthew!

We read an intriguing article about the upcoming white paper launch by Pulse and Cogora at Pulse LIVE in Birmingham on 10 June.

This paper will address the complaints system and fitness-to-practice investigations, which are quite timely given the recent pressures faced by NHS practices. It's fascinating to see how they will explore principles of a good complaints process, the daunting challenges in implementing these systems, and the need for commissioners' support.

One critical aspect they'll examine is how the fear of escalating complaints is pushing GPs towards defensive medicine.

Over 800 practices across the UK were surveyed, and input was gathered from more than 50 GPs and practice managers. This comprehensive research hopes to influence the upcoming Department of Health and Social Care review into the complaints system. Key voices, such as Dr Katie Bramall and Healthwatch representatives, will be part of a panel discussion to delve deeper into these issues.

This launch coincides with significant contract negotiations and collective action led by Dr Bramall, highlighting the urgency and relevance of these discussions for the future of general practice.

Pulse will be launching a white paper on the complaints system and fitness-to-practice investigations process at Pulse LIVE 10 June.

Thinking about the evolution of neighbourhood health, it's clear that goodwill alone won't carry the weight of this ambitious model - Pulse PCN. Building on the strength of general practice and primary care networks (PCNs), the vision of a personalised, community-rooted system is motivating, bringing hope to healthcare's future. Yet, change relies on more than just motivation; it needs confidence and practical tools to succeed.

Neighbourhood health demands concrete strategies. Coordination is often informal and unfunded, relying on individual effort rather than robust infrastructure. To evolve, we need identifiable roles, protected time, and clear escalation routes to handle complexity. The current informal approach must transform into an organised effort.

Tools and technology remain a hurdle. Without interoperable systems and shared records, PCNs are left coordinating care with fragmented data, hampering efficiency and safety. Multidisciplinary teams need more than just a meeting on the calendar; they require a structured, actionable framework ensuring clear roles and responsibilities.

Incentives also present a challenge. The existing framework prioritises activity over preventive, relationship-based care – a mismatch that PCNs frequently navigate. Funding and measurements should align with the neighbourhood model's goals, supporting proactive team-based care without destabilising core services.

The journey towards a neighbourhood model of care requires more practical support, simplified expectations, and aligned priorities. It's not just about having the right ambition; it's about having the right tools, incentives, and support to turn that ambition into reality.

Neighbourhood health encapsulates the ethos of general practice, but to truly deliver, we must ensure that our primary care teams have the confidence to carry out this vision day-to-day. Let's focus on how we will make this work at the ground level, building confidence alongside motivation.

Let us know your thoughts

By now, we hardly need another grand description of the ‘future’ neighbourhood model. Most of us in primary care can see it clearly enough.
