Working as a General Practitioner with a Special Interest in Aesthetic Medicine  Aesthetic medicine is a branch of medicine that focuses on improving the appearance of the skin and body. General practitioners (GPs) with a special interest in aesthetic medicine have additional training and experience in performing non-invasive and minimally invasive aesthetic procedures. They can help patients to achieve their aesthetic goals, while also ensuring that their safety and well-being are paramount. 

Global Sum increase for GP Practices

The global sum for GP practices in England has been increased from £102.28 to £104.73 per patient, in order to finance a 6% staff uplift. This is roughly a 2.4% increase. Negotiations between the Department of Health and Social Care and the British Medical Association (BMA) concluded last week, and the BMA's GP Committee said they had done so 'satisfactorily'. The global sum is a fixed amount of money that GP practices receive per patient registered with them. It makes up the majority of a practice's income, and is used to fund all aspects of primary care, including staff costs, premises, and equipment.
