Dear friends,
Many of you will have read about the GP vote in favour of industrial action. I understand that this may worry many of you. Many of you will also be wondering why this action has come about. I can re-assure you that this action is there to protect your care, with many GPs worried about the erosions in support to general practice over the last decade. We see this in the amount of GP practices that are closing & the number where quality of care has diminished.
I can also re-assure you that, we, as a practice, will not make any decisions, or take any actions, that detriment your care. You will not notice any change in the care you receive whilst this action takes place. All that we ask is that you continue supporting us and support our body in their ambitions to preserve our profession. Given the recent announcements from Government, I am optimistic that our new Government shares this ambition.

Many thanks,
