🚨 The GP Crisis Needs Practical Solutions 🚨
The UK’s GP crisis continues to put pressure on practices, clinicians, and patients. Rising demand, workforce shortages, and burnout have made it increasingly difficult to maintain access to care.
One solution is already playing a crucial role: Locum GPs.
🔹 Why locum GPs matter
-Provide immediate cover for staff shortages
-Help reduce burnout among permanent GPs
-Offer flexibility for practices during peak demand
-Ensure patients can still access timely appointments
🔹 The rise of locum GP work
More GPs are choosing locum roles for better work-life balance, flexibility, and reduced administrative burden — allowing them to stay in clinical practice sustainably.
Locum GPs are no longer just a temporary fix. They are becoming a core part of modern primary care, supporting practices and protecting patient access during challenging times.
💬 How is your practice adapting to the GP workforce challenge?
