The latest BMA GP opinion survey is open. This annual survey gathers GPs’ views on current issues and opportunities facing general practice, helping to influence and inform this year’s contract negotiations in addition to our longer-term strategy of promoting and protecting the future of general practice.
The survey is open to all GPs in England, including partners, salarieds, locums, and GP registrars at ST3 and above. It is open to GPs working in all settings and practices, wider primary care roles, trusts, urgent care, and secure or out-of-hours settings.
Participants do not need to be a member of the BMA to participate but we will need a GMC number to ensure that responses are coming from eligible GPs based in England. All responses will be anonymised.
The survey will close on Monday, 11 November, at 9am. We urge you to complete the survey as soon as possible, to ensure GPC England’s negotiating position is made as strong as possible.
GPC England will be holding a roundtable discussion ‘Bringing back the Family Doctor’ at 2–4pm on 28 November at BMA House.
In advance of the event, you can read our recently published paper, Patients First: why general practice is broken and how we can fix it. This paper outlines the critical steps required to prevent the closure of local practices, retain experienced NHS GPs, and provide the necessary funding for practices to recruit additional GPs and practice nurses to increase appointment availability and better continuity of care.
