There is a “vicious cycle” in GP surgeries that means many family doctors are unemployed while patients face difficulties accessing care, experts have warned.

GP surgeries are unable to recruit family doctors due to a lack of funding or physical space to house more doctors in their surgery, according to a new report by the GP magazine Pulse Today and supported by the campaign group Rebuild General Practice.
