Episode notes

In our news review Emma and Nick talk about the findings of the independent review into the use of physician associates in the NHS and what this means for their role in future.

They look at the results of the latest GP patient survey and what that tells us about how patients feel about general practice. And they discuss what happens next for neighbourhood health as more details emerge about the government plans for 42 sites that are set to push forward this agenda.

This episode was presented by GPonline editor Emma Bower and deputy editor Nick Bostock. It was produced by Czarina Deen.
