A move to ease the work burden on GPs by having a 9am to 5pm day is to be voted on by doctors with some claiming “urgent action is needed”.
Avon Local Medical Committee (LMC) is to table a motion that would see two-and-half hours taken off GPs’ days with typical practices now running from 8am to 6.30pm.
"Urgent action is needed to manage the imbalance between doctors' workload and their workforce," said the motion.
