Referendum and next steps


The BMA have produced a webpage with everything Members need to know about the current GP contract changes and what they plan to do next.

Remember, whatever is on the table come March 1st will be put to members in a referendum.  This will enable the profession to decide whether the offer sufficiently supports general practice in England for the forthcoming financial year, or not, and to decide whether the suggested changes sufficiently support general practice in England for the forthcoming financial year, or not. 

BMA members are eligible to vote to have their say in the referendum.  Members need to ensure their details are up to date and spread the word to colleagues about joining the BMA.

The referendum won’t prevent the Government from imposing changes to the contract, but it will give the BMA a vital insight into how the profession feels and where we go next.

To update your member details visit www.bma.org.uk/my-bma and share this email with your colleagues and encourage them to join the BMA today to have their say.
