Join one of the BMA's webinars to find out more.

GPC England has rejected the 2024/25 GP contract changes.

The contract has now been put to BMA GP members in a referendum.

The referendum cannot prevent the Government from choosing to impose their changes to the contract, but it will send a strong signal as to how the profession feels about the contract, a potential third successive contractual imposition by Government and where we collectively go next.

Find out more about the current contract changes here. 

You can watch Dr Katie Bramall-Stainer discussing the GP referendum here: GPC England contract referendum - YouTube

To ensure you can feel fully informed before you vote, The BMA are holding a series of webinars and as they receive feedback they will add FAQs to their webpage www.bma.org.uk/gpcontract early next week, which you can read and reflect on with your practice colleagues.

What to expect:

• A presentation from GPC England Officers outlining the context of the 2024/25 contract and what it means both for your practice, and you as a GP. A summary of next steps and the choice BMA GP members will need to make in the referendum
• A roadmap of what the months ahead may look like 
• The opportunity to have your questions answered – please send your questions in advance to gpreferendum@bma.org.uk
