BHR CCGs are applying to NHS England for funding to support international GP recruitment. To put the best case forward for the funding we need your help, please fill in our short survey, online at https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/Y8F6PW3
This will help us to find the latest information on GP, GPN and HCA numbers and vacancies which is vital for our bid. We are also reviewing practice nursing to see how we can better support practices. This survey will take approx 15 minutes to complete. The information we collect is confidential and will not be shared without your consent. Please complete the survey by 5pm 20 June 2017.
About the bid for funding
Initial discussions in BHR have taken place with the LMCs, CCG chairs, Health Education England and the GP Federations. There is a consensus that an application should be made for funding, although it is recognised that this is only a stop gap and partial solution to BHR’s extreme workforce difficulties.
Information from you, our members, is critical to getting this bid written and fit for purpose. This is why we are asking you to complete this short survey which will help us understand further the challenges we face and also help us shape the bid. This will ensure that the bid contains accurate and up to date information.
The survey also asks for your feedback on practice nurse recruitment as we know that this is also a challenge. Information about this will feed into a review of practice nursing that we are undertaking in BHR.
Please note you are not committing to this scheme by completion of this survey, but this will help the CCGs project team understand potential interest from general practice to support a scheme such as this. We will follow up with all practices that express an interest.
