2024-25 GP contract referendum – England
Join one of of the GPC England webinars to find out more.
GPC England has rejected the 2024/25 GP contract changes. The contract will now be put to BMA members in a referendum. The referendum cannot prevent the Government from choosing to impose their changes to the contract, but it will send a strong signal as to how the profession feels about a potential third successive contractual imposition by Government and where we collectively go next.
Find out more about the current contract changes here .
So you can feel fully informed before you vote, we are holding a series of webinars and will publish a set of iterative FAQs so you can read and reflect with your practice colleagues. As we receive more feedback, we will update the FAQs.
What to expect:
- A presentation from GPC England Officers outlining the context of the 2024/25 contract and what it means both for your practice, and you as a GP. A summary of next steps and the choice BMA GP members will need to make in the referendum
- A roadmap of what the months ahead may look like
- The opportunity to have your questions answered – please send your questions in advance to: gpreferendum@bma.org.uk
