This morning, our team at Broadlawns Medical Center volunteered at the Dam to DSM half marathon! We set up a hydration station and a medical tent to support the athletes.
It was a rewarding experience helping participants stay hydrated, cheering them on, and providing medical assistance at the finish line. #CommunitySupport#BroadlawnsCares#DamToDSM
🔊 New Episode Alert from the "Talking General Practice" Podcast!
Eligo Medical highly recommends the latest episode, which covers some of the most pressing issues in general practice today:
📉 Underfunding and Practice Closures: The episode explores the severe impact of underfunding on GP practices, leading to closures that significantly affect patient access and exacerbate health inequalities, especially in deprived areas (Pulse Today).
🤝 GP Collective Action: The British Medical Association (BMA) is planning potential collective action starting August 1st. This initiative aims to address unsustainable workloads and inadequate funding, proposing measures that protect practices and patients without breaching GP contracts (Management in Practice).
🌍 GP Standing for Green MP: Highlighting the dedication of healthcare professionals to broader societal change, the episode features the story of a GP running as a Green MP, emphasising the intersection of healthcare and environmental advocacy (British Medical Association).
As we approach a critical time, it’s essential for both the public and policymakers to recognise and address these challenges.
