Talking General Practice · How women’s health hubs can help improve care · 24 Jul 2026 podcast

But unfortunately, without sustainable resources, and either the government has to put money in

Or there needs to be steer and leverage on ICBs to proactively invest in these services and move out care because it will save monies, because it will reduce weight lists, because it will be better for the whole system.

But unfortunately, often out in the community, primary care services, and it's not only primary care that are doing hubs, but that's primarily the model that we're seeing nationally.

Absolutely.

I think we often do need more undergraduate training health.

It's really important.

And we need more patient education as well.

And then in sort of GP training, I think that there's room for more.

But what actually often happens is without the ability in primary care for us to have

slightly long appointment in order to do a gynecological examination, speculum examination that's what if we need to, it's still extremely difficult, even if you've got the knowledge, to be able to offer

the the service that you're trying to do.

I personally think one of the challenges we often see is I think there's lots of areas

In general practice, where people upskill, GEPs with an extended role, um, colleagues with a specialist interest, and it it's obviously across the scope, much of health, dermatology and all sorts of other areas where people may have a specialist interest, to the extent that there are certain services that can be delivered at costs.

out in the community, but they've got to be reimbursed and

Personally, I think the government struggles to understand this.

They think if it can be done in community, therefore it should be done with GP contracts.

That's not what the GP step is.

You know, menopause is an example.

To be a menopause specialist, we've got a couple of bodies that acknowledge um menopause training.

We've got the British Menopause Society and we've got the College of Receptional Reproductive Health that have their own training as well.
