Best Practice Birmingham 2024: A crucial gathering for the general practice community

Best Practice Birmingham 2024 arrived at the perfect time for the general practice community to come together, take stock, and look ahead to the future after the dust had settled in the aftermath of the 2024 summer General Election. This event, set against the backdrop of a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, offered a unique opportunity for general practitioners, practice managers, nurses, and other primary care professionals to engage in crucial discussions, share insights, and gain valuable knowledge.

CONFERENCE THEATRES

Comprised of nine conference theatres, this year's programme explored five important themes:

Access
Access remained a key theme for Best Practice Birmingham 2024, with a huge interest revolving around what decisions are made post-election to ensure timely, appropriate patient treatment.

New roles in primary care
The effective integration of new roles into general practice was once again a hot topic, supporting the access issue.

Workforce morale
Any incoming government must build a better relationship with GPs. Morale is low and retention is poor, with many GPs retiring, switching professions, or reducing their hours. Understanding the government's offer for the workforce and planned changes was crucial for Best Practice Birmingham 2024.

Infrastructure and efficiency
Modernising general practice with updated physical and digital infrastructure is expected to become increasingly important. Key questions included the availability of capital funding and the potential efficiencies and outcome improvements from investments in facilities and digital transformation.

Health inequalities
This remains a core focus for the programme and could be affected by the General Election. Innovation in data use and a deep understanding of local population health demands are essential for support in this area.
