The British Medical Association (BMA) wants to know how practices are managing with the new requirements for online consultations which came into effect on 1 October, 2025.

Practices are invited to complete a survey by 12pm on Wednesday, 12 November, 2025.

The aim of the survey is to understand more about the impact of the changes on GP practices and find out how colleagues are coping.

The results will help the BMA in their ongoing negotiations with the Government regarding the new requirements which, in the BMA’s view, have been introduced without adequate safeguarding and support for practices.

Please note, that only one response per practice is needed.

You can complete the survey via the BMA’s online consultation form: https://www.research.net/r/onlineconsultssurvey?utm_campaign=509431_29102025%20Online%20Consultations%20Survey%20GP%20Partner%20England%20M%20CMP-05721-G7Y6X&utm_medium=email&utm_source=The%20British%20Medical%20Association%20%28Comms%20Engagment%29&dm_i=7IPW,AX2V,198R15,1F6A0,1

Dr Ben Milton, Medical Director at Derby and Derbyshire LMC (DDLMC) and Dr Andrew Mott, Medical Director at Derbyshire GP Provider Board (GPPB) have written a joint letter to general practices about OPEL scoring this winter.

Practices are advised to ensure that their OPEL (Operational Pressures Escalation Levels) assessments accurately reflect the current pressures being experienced, including factors such workforce constraints, patient demand, and digital workload arising from online consultations.

OPEL data is used by DDLMC and GPPB during system-level calls to evidence pressures in general practice. It plays a vital role in informing discussions around winter funding and resource allocation.

Your input is essential to shaping a responsive and supportive winter strategy.

General Practice is under pressure like never before
The latest data shows:

63.83 million patients registered as of August 2025
Each GP now cares for 2,247 patients – that’s a 15.9% increase since 2015

Whilst patient numbers keep rising, the number of GPs continues to fall. This growing imbalance is unsustainable and puts patient care at risk.
👉 It’s time for urgent action to support general practice and ensure safe, accessible care for all.
