Going through this morning’s healthcare news, PRimage is interested to see the findings of a new snapshot poll and report by the Family Doctor Association - which found that 17% of GPs were ‘very interested’ in a leading role in GP led commissioning.
A further 46% were ‘somewhat interested’ in a role in the GP commissioning changes proposed by health secretary Andrew Lansley.
The poll also revealed most GPs were keen to support local leaders to develop commissioning – 43% were ‘very interested’ and a further 43% ’somewhat interested’.
Judy Viitanen believes that the challenge now for ministers is to effectively harness this enthusiasm and willingness among GPs to help shape and deliver the reforms set out in the white paper – ‘Liberating the NHS’.

This is the Spring Equinox, a day of equal light and dark, and the first day of the astrological year. The beauty of Spring is its promise of new life and new beginnings. Nothing is certain. Tremulous shoots of grass and sweet crocuses pop their heads, days are warmer, but nights can freeze. New life, new ideas, creativity, and hopes can be dashed — yet, if nourished, can take deep root and create long standing foundations.And this first day of Spring is a lovely, sunny day — enjoy!Â
