In June, GPC England opened a ballot for partners to vote on taking collective action over the underfunded and overstretched GMS contract, and the outcome was a resounding YES.

Partners will be able to choose which action their practices will take as they see fit. This action will not be strike action nor should it breach the contract that your employer holds with NHS England.  

GPs working outside of practice, for example in urgent care settings, should not take part in collective action and should not see any changes in the work expected of them.
