GP collective action
The British Medical Association (BMA) balloted GP contractors and partner members across England. The ballot closed on 29 July 2024, with 98.3% of GPs voting in favour of collective action.
As a result of this, some GPs have made changes to how they work. Practices will still be open and will still see patients. However, some GPs may operate differently. Where this happens, patients may be directed to other local services to make sure that safe provision of care remains.
GP services remain open – please contact your practice as normal if you have a healthcare need.
If you aren’t sure which health service you need, you can find out more on the which services should I use page of our website.
