🏛️ Last week we were at the Senedd sharing our vision for the future of the NHS in Wales
Our latest report shows 106 GP surgeries have closed since 2012. Just 368 remain to serve 3.3 million people

The minister doesn’t appear to understand the peril of inaction. #saveoursurgeries campaign in Wales spelt out the existential crisis in GMS and WG listened when our referendum gave a similar result. This response is breathtaking. We stand with our NI colleagues in Wales.

GPs have REJECTED the contract offer from @healhtdpt.
99.6% of them said it was not enough.
We have written to the Minister requesting an urgent meeting.

📢 The Value of a GP
We've made it very clear: general practice is vital to a healthy NHS.
This new BMA report lays out the evidence – economic, clinical, and human – that shows why GPs are essential. Continuity of care is the remedy.
