GPS in England: Did you reduce your hours or leave the task completely? | GPS
One in three GPS in England does not work in NHS, with increased numbers that seek to move abroad or become a private contractor.
The percentage of family doctors who, although they are qualified, do not provide care through NHS from 27 % in 2015 to 34 % last year, according to a study published in BMJ.
This means that approximately 20,000 GPS who can work in the health service “lost” and do not do so, despite the unprecedented demand for care and many government initiatives to try to increase the numbers of GP.
GPS also threatens winter strikes due to the WES Streeting plan to repair NHS, and many doctors work only part -time, and the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) reported that two GP surgeries are now closed every week, as the total of practices since 2018.
We are keen to hear GPS who either reduce or plan their hours and why. We also would like to hear from GPS who left their profession completely or planned for him and why, and what they were doing or would do instead.
