Impact of GP collective action in mid and south Essex

The BMA has announced that GPs will take collective action starting from 1 August 2024.

This is a non-statutory ballot for collective action, which means GPs should not be taking any action that would breach their contract.

This means that GPs may choose to make changes to some aspects of how they work. Practices will still be open and will still see patients. However, some GPs may operate differently, and where this happens GP practices should inform patients of any changes to services.
