Chancellor promises nurses a further pay rise in 2022 Nurses have been promised a pay rise next year after the chancellor ended the public sector pay freeze – but any increase must be meaningful, unions have warned. The year-long pay freeze will come to an end in April 2022, paving the way for a possible wage increase for an estimated 5.6 million public sector staff. Ending pay freeze is acknowledgement that nursing staff have been underpaid. Read more here (RCNI) CMO praises GP pandemic response England’s chief medical officer has thanked GPs for their 'outstanding' efforts during the pandemic - warning that the current situation would be ‘catastrophically worse’ without their hard work. Speaking at this year’s RCGP annual conference in Liverpool, Professor Chris Whitty said he was ‘massively admiring’ of the work carried out by GPs during the pandemic, including the success of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign.

Once again, we would like to say a big thank you! More than 10,000 people back BMA call for increased GP funding More than 10,000 people have signed a BMA petition demanding that GP practices receive the funding they require. The petition calls on the UK Government ‘to provide the funding and commitment needed to urgently increase the number of GPs, practice nurses and other practice staff and to improve the premises in which they work’. It says this ‘will help GP practices in England to meet the growing needs of people in our communities, providing the care we and our families need’. The petition was set up less than a month ago as part of the BMA’s Support Your Surgery campaign, which aims to rally support for GP practices.

Before the pandemic began, there was a shortage of around 40,000 full-time Nurses in the NHS. During the pandemic, the NHS has been on an international recruitment drive; more than 8000 overseas Nurses were recruited between the Summer of 2020 and March 2021 alone.

As part of this, a commitment has been made to expand access to digital clinical safety training across the health and care workforce. On World Patient Safety Day, NHSX, in collaboration with NHS Digital and NHS England and NHS Improvement, has published its first-ever Digital Clinical Safety Strategy. Priorities listed in the document included improving the recording of patient safety incidents including those related to digital failures and rolling out new training opportunities for staff on the topic of digital clinical safety.

But the sharp rise in the use of these single-use plastics is not without consequence. Shocking statistics about the environmental effects of PPE (personal protective equipment) – and the growing momentum of the green lobby ahead of the COP26 climate summit in November – are prompting fresh calls for a greener NHS. Doctors leaders used the BMA annual representative meeting this week to set out a wide-ranging green agenda, encompassing everything from recycling to public transport to fossil fuels.

Medical News Checkup - August

But don't worry we're going to continue to bring you some positive and informative news from the medical industry, and if you are available for sessions, or know someone that is, please check our latest medical jobs below. Once again, we would like to say a big thank you to all the hard-working clinicians we work with. Average GP pay rose 2.8% in England in 2019/20 Average GP pay in England rose by 2.8% in 2019/20 - outstripping a 1.9% increase in Wales, but well behind the growth of 4.3% in Scotland and 6.5% in Northern Ireland, official figures reveal. Across partners and salaried GPs in England, average income before tax averaged £100,700 in 2019/20 - up from £98,000 in the previous financial year, according to figures published by NHS Digital. The figure - which includes income across GPs working full-time and part-time - remains the highest in the UK. The average income for partners on GMS and PMS contracts in England was £121,800 in 2019/20. Read more here (GP Online) Covid-antibody therapy approved in UK A new Covid treatment - that uses a pair of laboratory-made antibodies to attack the virus - has been approved for use in the UK. The regulator said the drug Ronapreve had been shown to prevent infection and reduce the need for hospital treatment. It was famously used as part of the suite of experimental medicines given to US President Donald Trump last year. However, it is very expensive and likely to be reserved for those at greatest risk of becoming severely ill. Read more here (BBC News) One in seven GP posts empty as vacancy rates remain high Exclusive GP vacancy rates remains high, with one in seven posts unfilled, according to an exclusive survey by Pulse. The survey of almost 400 GPs – carried out in May – uncovered 301 full-time equivalent (FTE) posts are vacant, out of the 2,142 that respondents said their practices require. The high vacancy rate – at 14% – is a slight improvement on the 15% unfilled GP posts revealed the last time Pulse carried out the survey in 2018 – which was the worst on record, though did include vacancies from across the UK. In 2021, among the 369 GPs taking part in the survey, 56% (207) said they had no vacancies, but the remainder were carrying mostly one vacancy (27%), or two (8%). Read more here (Pulse Today) Research reveals optimal usage time and effectiveness of different face masks Respirator masks have been hailed as the “go-to” face-covering to mitigate Covid-19, according to new research from the University of Surrey. A new study, published in the Journal of Hazardous Materials today, explored the effectiveness of 11 masks, including four respirators, three medical and four handmade face coverings, within a submicron range. The laboratory investigation, carried out by air pollution experts at the university, also sought to uncover how long a mask should be worn. Findings showed that, over time, the filters of a face mask can start to become clogged by aerosol particles, while breathing resistance also increases as the masks are worn.

Average GP pay rose 2.8% in England in 2019/20 Average GP pay in England rose by 2.8% in 2019/20 - outstripping a 1.9% increase in Wales, but well behind the growth of 4.3% in Scotland and 6.5% in Northern Ireland, official figures reveal. Across partners and salaried GPs in England, average income before tax averaged £100,700 in 2019/20 - up from £98,000 in the previous financial year, according to figures published by NHS Digital.

The survey of almost 400 GPs – carried out in May – uncovered 301 full-time equivalent (FTE) posts are vacant, out of the 2,142 that respondents said their practices require. The high vacancy rate – at 14% – is a slight improvement on the 15% unfilled GP posts revealed the last time Pulse carried out the survey in 2018 – which was the worst on record, though did include vacancies from across the UK. In 2021, among the 369 GPs taking part in the survey, 56% (207) said they had no vacancies, but the remainder were carrying mostly one vacancy (27%), or two (8%).

A new study, published in the Journal of Hazardous Materials today, explored the effectiveness of 11 masks, including four respirators, three medical and four handmade face coverings, within a submicron range. The laboratory investigation, carried out by air pollution experts at the university, also sought to uncover how long a mask should be worn. Findings showed that, over time, the filters of a face mask can start to become clogged by aerosol particles, while breathing resistance also increases as the masks are worn.
