The UK is currently facing alarm over GP shortages after new estimates suggested a quarter of posts could be vacant in the next 10 years.
Across the country people have been complaining about not being able to get an appointment with their doctors. The current shortage of 4,200 full-time equivalent GPs in England is set to rise to 10,700 in 2030/31.
Dr Hilary appeared on Good Morning Britain today to discuss the issue with hosts Ben Shephard and Kate Garraway. He said that the lack of GPs is "extremely concerning" as he explained that it takes ten years for someone to fully qualify as a family doctor.
