  • Description: The “mass exodus” is predicted by a recent RCGP survey of GPs’ career intentions, and is occurring against a backdrop of an overstretched and severely under-resourced service which is at breaking point and risks compromising safe patient care. In response to the findings, the college has set out the actions that it believes are needed from the government to tackle the workforce and workload crisis in general practice and support practices to meet current healthcare challenges.1 Of the 1262 GP and trainee respondents to the survey, 42% said they are likely to quit the profession in the next five years—with 10% doing so in the next year and 19% in the next two years. Wes Streeting, Labour’s shadow health and social care secretary, said that the Conservatives were “breaking” their 2019 manifesto commitment to deliver 6000 extra GPs by 2024-5, and that 300 GP practices had closed since the pledge was made.
