The Government can’t keep expecting general practice to provide timely, safe care for patients if we simply don’t have the means to do so.
That’s why our Chair, Professor Kamila Hawthorne, is asking you to join her in signing a letter to Wes Streeting, calling on him to make sure the upcoming 10 Year Workforce Plan isn’t another missed opportunity.
It must deliver a clear roadmap to train, recruit and retain the GPs our patients desperately need.
Almost 10,000 members helped us secure change in 2024. Now we need your help to make sure general practice gets the support it needs.

We have a culture of fear and defence with low trust and no incentives to train.
SARs, lawfare, regulators having second bites all promote defensive practice which inhibits training.
Rotational training creates burdens not opportunities.
The NHS breeds mediocrity and cultivates decline.
We need to liberate the professionals from the bureaucrats.
