Collective Action
As of 1 May, we are urging GP partners and practices to take part in collective action, given Government’s insufficient assurances regarding our concerns over the 2026/27 GP contract. Practices are working in crisis-level environments, where every day feels ‘exceptional’ in terms of unlimited demand outstripping available workforce capacity. Being placed in a position where delivering an imposed contract is an impossibility for too many, with the subsequent rationing of care, is unreasonable and unsafe.
Therefore, GPC England is recommending one single action for May, focusing on the flow of GP patient data outside practices, in the form of practice data sharing agreements (DSAs).
