Dr Katie Bramall-Stainer on GP collective action and what happens now

This week Emma speaks to Dr Katie Bramall-Stainer, chair of the BMA England GP committee, about collective action by GPs, what it means for practices and what the BMA is hoping it will achieve.
In this conversation Katie explains why she believes collective action is necessary to achieve a better deal for general practice, what action will involve and how the profession can keep patients on side while it takes this step.
She also explains how the BMA’s safe working guidance can help practices and even improve things for patients, the key changes that she believes are necessary in both the shorter and longer term to ensure a sustainable future for general practice and her view on the new government’s approach.
