Fit for the future: GP pressures 2023

Fit for the future: GP pressures 2023 This report, based on a survey of general practice staff, highlights the current workload and workforce pressures facing GPs and their teams, and the impact these are having on patients. GPs and their staff carried out 4.6 million (9 per cent) more appointments in December 2022 and January 2023 than in December 2019 and January 2020; however, the number of fully qualified full-time-equivalent GPs has dropped by 843 in the same period. The report sets out the RCGP's recommendations for the government to tackle the workforce and workload crisis in general practice, and support GPs and their teams to meet the health care challenges of the 21st century.
