GPs in England: have you been reducing your hours or left the job altogether?

The article discusses the growing trend of general practitioners (GPs) in England reducing their working hours or leaving their jobs altogether. According to the study published in the BMJ, the proportion of family doctors who are qualified but do not provide care through the NHS has increased from 27% in 2015 to 34% in 2021. The article suggests that the reasons behind this trend may include GPs seeking to move abroad or becoming private contractors. The article invites GPs who have been cutting their hours or plan to do so, as well as those who have left or will be quitting their jobs, to share their experiences and reasons.
