Patient follow-up request form for GP locums – download

Some 84% of GPs responding to a new BMA survey want to work more sessions, a new BMA survey on the sessional GP workforce crisis revealed in August 2024.

On average from 1,852 GPs polled, respondents report working on average a day less a week than in 2022.

A third of GPs responding said they have made ‘definite’ plans to change their work or career path due to the ongoing crisis. More than 50% expect to make changes in the next year and 31% planning for change say they plan to leave the NHS entirely.

With pressure for appointments increasing, it can be difficult to ensure that a patient of concern has access to the follow-up you had intended.

Try using this form to flag up to reception when a patient really needs review.
