GP Retention Working Group: report and recommendations

1. Introduction

In December 2022, the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) Scotland published a report ‘Retaining our GP Workforce in Scotland’. The report made 10 recommendations on ways to improve the GP retention in Scotland. As part of the work to improve GP retention, the Scottish Government established a task and finish working group in June 2022 to consider the existing approaches to retaining GPs within the profession across the stages of the career pathway and produced a set of recommendations.

The terms of reference and membership of this group is set out in Annex A.
