English GPs: Share your views on vote in favour of industrial action

GPs in England have voted to strike for the first time in 60 years.

In a vote by the British Medical Association (BMA), 98% of GPs voted in favour of a collective protest against the previous government’s budget increase of just 1.9% this year.

According to the Guardian, GPs who are partners in their practice can choose which form of strike action they want to take from a selection drawn up by the BMA. One option is to limit the number of patients GPs can see per day to 25.

If you are a GP in England, we would like to hear your views on the vote to take industrial action. Do you have any concerns?
