GPs are being asked to do more with less under imposed contracts. This isn’t sustainable.
We’re urging practices to withhold patient data sharing with third parties as part of collective action this May.
Here’s why 👇

Editor:
I’m so proud of our 6,200 GP practices nationwide who delivered 388,000,000 appointments in the past year on record tiny proportion of NHS budget where 0.02% interactions result in a complaint.
I hope @wesstreeting @SKinnock would also decry this reporting.

GPs in England are launching collective action TODAY, after our GP committee voted that Government proposals don’t go far enough.
We’re taking action on data sharing agreements, because policy proposals have not gone far enough to convince GPs that the profession will be protected.

Good work w @NHSEngland & @DHSCgovuk re: referral processes
This isn’t a ‘win’ it’s what it should always have been
Next: the need for a safety framework when we face exceptional demand
Secure that & we start on the new contract
Alternative?
GP Collective Action from May 1st

GPs across England have sent a clear message.
Nearly every GP who voted has rejected the Government’s imposed contract that would pile on work and be unsafe for patients.
GPs want to work with Government on a new contract that’s properly resourced and sustainable. It’s time to return to the table.

99% have said no. GPs and GP registrars across England have overwhelmingly rejected the Government’s imposed contract changes for 2026/27.
These plans would pile unsafe, unfunded workload onto already stretched practices, putting patient care at risk.
GPs are calling on the Government to return to the table and work with the profession on a contract that’s safe, properly resourced, and sustainable.
