The recruitment crisis in GP practice goes from bad to worse, with news that Leicester City Council now has to offer £20,000 ‘golden hellos’ just to attract new GPs to the city.

The council made the offer after Professor Azhar Farooqi, co-chair of the local CCG and a GP, showed in a paper that older GPs are retiring in droves, while more and more young GPs are opting for salaried or locum status. Hardly news to anyone who works in general practice!
