Intro

This week the GPonline team looks at the GP workforce in England after latest figures show it has risen to a five-year high despite an ongoing jobs crisis that has left many GPs struggling to find work. They also discuss what’s happening with the GP additional roles reimbursement scheme jobs and why the RCGP is calling for a complete overhaul of the NHS long-term workforce plan.

And they talk about this week's budget and what it means for general practice and the NHS more widely.
