We will be reflecting on this winter, looking ahead to the 2026/27 contract later this spring, and scanning the horizon for what the future holds for our practices, and, existentially, our profession.

We will examine the context of this Government’s ‘talk’ over shifting resources out of hospitals into communities, GP access and ‘Neighbourhoods’, but its ‘walk’ over protecting Emergency Departments, hospital budgets, and waiting list targets – at significant cost to our own patients’ safety and practice team wellbeing. 

What will happen next?

Are Government listening?

Will we need to act?
