General Practice is collapsing and every practice across England is struggling to keep its doors open.
You may recently have heard about the British Medical Association’s (BMA) campaign “GPs are on your side”.
This campaign calls on the government to address the significant challenges faced by GP surgeries across the country at the moment.
We value our patients. We know that most patients value us too. Your GP is an expert in general medical practice – trained over 10 years to deal with complex problems, spot serious symptoms, and decide when you need specialist help at the hospital.
But did you know that your practice receives just £107.57 per year for each patient, whatever their health needs.
That's just 30p a day for every patient registered with us – less than the cost of an apple.
The BMA is campaigning for a bigger slice of NHS funding for General Practice so we can train and hire more GPs, deliver the services you require and make it easier for you and your loved ones to get appointments to see your GP and practice team.
GPs want the same things that you do. We believe nobody should struggle to see their family doctor.
