WORK TOGETHER. DELIVER FOR PATIENTS. REBUILD GENERAL PRACTICE.

General practice should be at the heart of every community – keeping patients safe and providing strong foundations for the rest of the NHS.

Decades of neglect has broken the entire system, but by working together we can fix the crisis.

We must find ways to ensure we have enough family doctors to treat our patients. We need make the profession an attractive proposition again, to stop GPs from leaving the profession and to keep practices open.

General practice should be at the very centre of the 10 Year Health Plan, with a commitment to return investment in GP to 15% of the NHS budget by the end of the Parliament.

GPs are already innovating and doing more with less. They can provide insights into the ways they are already moving care from hospitals to communities, making better use of technology and focussing on preventing sickness.

A strong general practice keeps people healthy and gives them the care they need in their community.

That’s why we need to work together, deliver for patients and Rebuild General Practice.

WHAT ARE WE ASKING FOR?

  • Put GPs at the heart of the 10 Year Health Plan

  • Shape the revised NHS long-term workforce plan

  • Bring back the family doctor to improve continuity of care

  • Secure fair funding within the wider NHS

  • Freedom and autonomy for GPs

Our GP A Team is a group of grassroots GPs from across Great Britain who speak on behalf of the Rebuild General Practice campaign. These hard-working GPs speak with media, engage with politicians, and attend events, using the campaign's voice to represent the needs of GPs on the ground. Meet them below ⬇️

As Labour begins to rebuild the NHS and bring back the family doctor, we are working with MPs to offer solutions on how to address the crisis in general practice. We believe that rebuilding general practice will be pivotal to the Government’s ambitions of forging a neighbourhood health service – in which care is provided wherever possible in the community – and bringing about an NHS-wide shift from treatment to prevention.

This new group of general practice champions will:

  • Attend events and briefings with grassroots GPs to hear about tangible solutions to improve the state of general practice

  • Raise Parliamentary questions to draw awareness to the issues facing general practice and highlight solutions from our grassroot GPs

Our current champions include:

Dr Simon Opher MP

  • Labour MP for Stroud

  • Chair of the Health APPG

  • Practicing GP

Kate Osamor MP

  • Labour MP for Edmonton and Winchmore Hill

  • Former GP practice manager

Peter Prinsley MP

  • Labour MP for Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket

  • Member of the Health Workers APPG
