Working with BNSSG Training Hub, Dr. Andrew Hunter (GP Retention Fellow) is introducing a pilot project to support GPs who have left clinical practice due to workload pressures and burnout, and those seriously considering doing so.

Working as a GP has never been more challenging, but we want to help improve your overall well-being and job satisfaction through facilitated peer support. This will support you with continuing to work in primary care, or with returning to clinical work if you’re not currently in post.

The vision is to provide a series of 6 facilitated peer-support group sessions for a group of 10 – 12 GPs, held in person for 4 hours every 3 weeks. This will be during normal working hours, starting in early 2023. The aims of the pilot are to improve overall well-being, job satisfaction, and clinical experience of participants, helping those who have left get back to work and those thinking of leaving feel more confident about their future in primary care.
