In January 2025, the Rebuild General Practice campaign went to Parliament to speak where Cogora - the group behind Pulse Magazine - launched their new GP Workforce White Paper. GPs from up and down the country met with MPs from across the political spectrum to talk about the crisis in general practice and what this means for patients.
