The British Medical Association

You have probably noticed that something is wrong. Look at the difficulty you have in getting an appointment at your local surgery. When you do get through, it may not be an appointment with a GP at all. Have you lost your regular family doctor? You are not alone. The past decade has seen us lose far too many surgeries and thousands of GPs.

General Practice is collapsing. Every practice across England is struggling to keep its doors open.

Did you know?

If general practice received a fairer share of NHS funding we could:

• Train and hire more GPs
• Deliver the services you require
• Make it easier to get the appointments you need
• In the last 5 years GP practices have lost funding worth over £660 million
• We're not allowed to use the poor funding we have to recruit more GPs or more practice nurses
• GPs and their team are losing moral
• No matter how many hours we work, we still can't see all the patients that need our care

This is why you struggle to see your GP

General practice is being broken. We know you deserve better than this. GPs are on your side.
