Dear patients,
Here's what we know at the moment:
📈 There are 6 million more patients on the books
🩺 GPs are carrying out 400 million annual appointments
📊 90% of NHS contact is in primary care
There is nothing more important to us than you.
We want to be there for you whenever you need us.
But this is getting harder and harder.
General practice is at risk. If you want your GP to provide the best quality care for you and your family you can help us.
