New contract agreed for GPs

Jacob Lant, Chief Executive of National Voices, responds to today’s announcement of a new contract for GPs agreed between the Government and BMA.

  • Person-centred care
  • Primary care

We are pleased to see a new contract agreed with GPs today, with a renewed focus on continuity of care. We hear from our members that continuity really counts for people with long term conditions.

Being able to see the same GP not only ensures patients don’t waste time repeating themselves, but also helps GPs understand their patients’ broader needs, leading to more personalised and holistic care.

Although there is still much detail to work through in how this is operationalised, done right, this has real potential to help improve experiences and outcomes for those with the greatest need.
