There are an estimated 2.4 million veterans of the armed forces in the UK, and many veterans find it difficult to adjust to civilian life. How can general practice support veterans deal with the challenges they face and access the healthcare they need?
In November we were joined by Dr Veronica Grant, a GP in Derbyshire and RCGP clinical champion for veterans' health. Veronica discusses the RCGP's accredited programme for practices to demonstrate they are 'veteran friendly'.
Practices that sign up identify and code their veterans, and appoint a clinical lead who undertakes training and other activities related to veteran healthcare. The RCGP provides accredited practices with an information pack to help increase their understanding of the health needs of veterans, and the services available to them.

A campaign has been launched to help tackle a rise in abusive behaviour towards healthcare workers in primary care across the Humber area.
Repeat instances of aggression, prejudice, threats and offensive language, has led many professionals to feel dread, fear, disrespected, and questioning whether they wish to remain working in the profession.
In this episode LMC Communications Manager Jonathan Appleton speaks to John Gilbert and Alex King from Eskimosoup, the Hull-based marketing agency which has worked with Humberside LMCs to develop the #weareprimarycare campaign, which includes materials and messages to get the message across that abuse in primary care won't be tolerated.

Sessional GPs now make up almost half of the total GP headcount* so what do GPs doing sessional work (either salaried or locum) need to know?
In this edition we're joined by Humberside LMC Medical Secretary Dr Rolan Schreiber to explore the pros and cons of working as a sessional GP including:
- Stability of work and income
- Employment rights
- Work commitments and control over workload
- CPD and revalidation
- Portfolio career opportunities
There's lots of information and resources for sessional GPs on the LMC guidance pages.
*In November 2020, GP Online gave the proportions of the total GP headcount as 53% partners, 36% salaried, 12% locums, and 1% retainers.
In this episode we're looking at workload pressures in general practice in the light of the recent Health Select Committee report which said NHS and care staff in England are so burnt out that it has become an "emergency". Colleagues at Wolseley Medical Centre in Hull also recently invited cameras in from BBC Look North to show the reality of the pressures GPs and practice teams are facing every day.
Dr Zoe Norris, LMC Medical Director explains how the LMC can help staff deal with pressures, and sets out some of the services and resources which can be accessed via the LMC.

- What help and resources are available to find out more?
