Modern General Practice: What Does it Truly Mean

🎙️ In this episode, we explore what modern general practice really means in today’s NHS. We’re joined by Andy King from Unity Practice Solutions, who brings over 25 years of experience across primary care, from Practice Manager to Managing Partner, and now supporting practices, PCNs, and federations through complex change and quality improvement. Together, we move beyond the usual buzzwords to unpack what “modern” actually looks like on the ground. From leadership and culture to workforce pressures and patient expectations, this conversation takes an honest look at the realities facing general practice today. We also discuss the importance of supporting teams through change, the roles of coaching and mentoring, and the impact of initiatives such as the Healthy Practice Programme delivered by GPMplus. This episode is a must-listen for Primary Care Managers and anyone working in or alongside general practice who wants to better understand what good looks like and how we move from simply coping to truly thriving. * * * * 🎟️ For more information on LPM’s New to PM Conferences, please go to https://locumpm.co.uk/services/traini.... 💼 If you and your Practice, PCN, Federation, etc. would like some flexible management support from LPM, please let us know via https://locumpm.co.uk/engage-with-lpm. 💻 If you are an existing Primary Care Manager and would like to work with us at LPM, please also let us know via https://locumpm.co.uk/work-with-lpm. 🔗 Connect with Andy King LinkedIn:   / andrew-king-mihscm-7a658a35   ℹ️ Resources referenced in this episode AMSPAR: https://www.amspar.org GPMplus: https://gpmplus.co.uk Healthy Practice Programme: https://gpmplus.co.uk/healthy-practic...
