The future of the GP contract and the partnership model in England looks set to dominate this year's England LMCs conference.
LMCs will call on the BMA to negotiate a 'wholesale new GMS contract', warning that core funding for general practice has now been eroded to a level that is 'unsustainable and unsafe'. The GPC will also face calls to deliver contract changes that will 'reduce the inherent risks in the current partnership model'.
