Today sees the launch of Patients First: Why General Practice is broken and how we can fix it . Our vision details the essential changes that need to happen to save general practice across England.
Patients First focuses on safety, stability and hope, presenting solutions for the new Government to work with us in rebuilding a transformed general practice for the benefit of our patients and improved long-term public health.
GPs need an extra 11p per day, that’s £40 per patient per year, in 2025/26 to offer fair pay and conditions for practice employees, to take on more GPs, to deliver more GP appointments and help provide safer, better continuity of care for our patients.
We’ve shared Patients First: Why General Practice is broken and how we can fix it with the Secretary of State Wes Streeting, as well as with the Department for Health and NHS England leaders.
We look forward to working with them to bring about essential changes and shape policies that will fix the front door to the NHS and bring back the family doctor.
Safeguard general practice, and you safeguard the NHS. Please share our vision too, with patients, friends and colleagues, while continuing to take collective action that will protect our patients and our practices.
