So, where have all the GPs gone? The majority haven’t gone anywhere but have either opted for early retirement or reduced the number of sessions they work. Reducing hours may be the only way for many GPs to stay sane or have any sort of life outside work. It’s not unusual for GPs to work intense 12 hour days, and doing five of these in a week isn’t a realistic long term proposition.
