Pulse and Management in Practice launch a survey on GP recruitment and unemployment

Pulse and Management in Practice are launching a new survey of GPs across the UK to better understand the current recruitment and unemployment crisis within general practice, and the workload involved with processing complaints.

The survey will be used to inform our influential white papers from Cogora Insight, similar to those on workforce and access, which influenced the GP contract. A paper on the patient complaints and GMC investigation process will be launched at Pulse LIVE Birmingham on 10 June, supported by Medical Protection Society.

Other topics in the survey are estates funding, local enhanced services and the neighbourhood contracts for GPs in England.

Pulse editor in chief Jaimie Kaffash said: ‘GP practices across the UK are struggling, but our surveys provide them with the outlet to say what is really happening. In England especially, the Government is removing the voice of GPs with the imposition of this year’s contract.

‘By taking our survey, readers can change the narrative. Our findings are regularly picked up by national media, which helps redress the balance around the reporting of general practice.’
