Practices in England are being asked to take part in a further action, alongside ongoing action on data sharing agreements.
This month’s action asks practices to remove or ignore non-contractual medicines optimisation software, which may fall outside of the remit of the ICB.
Patients are clear: continuity of care matters.
90% say vulnerable patients should be able to see the same GP — but 62% say it’s getting harder.
We need action to protect the family doctor model.

A bright idea 💡
Bringing back the family doctor means:
✔ Better continuity
✔ More GP appointments
✔ More practice nurses
✔ Care delivered closer to home
Investing in primary care = better, safer care.

Health begins at home, in our families, schools, and communities — not just in the GP surgery.
