The National Health Service needs at least 5,000 more general practitioners and is working hard to recruit them. New medical schools have been set up in Sunderland, Lancashire,Chelmsford, Lincoln and Canterbury. We have also increased the numbers entering general practice training to 3,250 places each year and Health Education England reported the highest ever number of doctors entering general practice training in 2017.
