Dear Colleague

The GPC/BMA referendum on the Govt/NHSE contract proposals is underway- your GP vote on these proposals really matters.

Only a by a substantial vote of GPs will the Dept of Health and NHSE listen and reconsider its woefully inadequate position on general practice funding for 2024 and 2025.

If you have not yet had your say, please take the time to do so. Whether you are Principal, Salaried, Locum or GP Registrar this matter involves the financial survival of the practices you work in, and your voice is vital at this time in maintaining their future viability.

If you have not yet familiarised yourself with the proposals which have been made by the Dept Health /NHSE please see the attached FAQs and learn more by joining  the catch-up webinar which will take place today and learn how financially damaging to the continuation of General Practices these proposals would be if introduced unchanged. The link to the webinar is  below.*

The referendum closes on 27th March. You must be a BMA member to vote and if you are not, you can join here-
