GPC England and the profession reject the recently imposed GP contract

GPC England met recently and received news that GP members across the country have overwhelmingly voted to reject the contract with 99% saying no to the 2026/27 GP contract that the Government announced and imposed last month. Urgent bilateral negotiations with Government are now underway and are dependent on securing a commitment that contractual proposals around changes to ‘advice and refer’ services are paused, and mitigations are put in place around unlimited and unsafe same-day care once practices have reached their safe working limits. We know how many of you are struggling with this without any safeguards or resources.
