Mass Exodus of NHS GPs is Looming

The Royal College of GPs (RCGPs) estimated that 18,950 GPs and trainees were likely to leave the profession over the next 5 years, with job pressure high on the list of reasons. General practice could be on the verge of a mass exodus of general practitioners (GPs).

The Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP)

• 42% of GPs are likely to quit in the next 5 years
• This could mean the loss of 19,000 GPs and trainees, equivalent to 15,000 full-time equivalent GPs
• 60% of those not planning to retire mentioned stress, workload, working hours, and a lack of job satisfaction as their top reasons for leaving the profession
• General practice is the bedrock of the NHS, keeping the service sustainable
