English
General Practice
today
• Around 1.2m patients seen every working
day – increasing complexity
• 340-370 million consultations per year
(300m in 2008)
• Increase in workload, static funding and
falling resource is bringing general practice
to its knees

Rising Demand
Between 1995 and 2008, the number of consultations in General Practice rose by 75% to
more than 300m. A sharp increase in consultations for those over 65 has contributed to this

practice
Building the workforce

practices, multi-professional
training
• Targeted support. Additional financial incentives
in under-doctored areas

practices – including investment
in infrastructure

scheme, access to portfolio career, clearer range of
career pathways)

College and others
