The agreement, which introduces substantial changes from April 2019 onwards, spans the next five years and introduces widespread changes aimed at addressing both the workforce and workload pressures currently experienced by GPs in England, and improving services for patients by beginning to realise ambitions laid out in the NHS Long-Term Plan.
