Abstract

Participant GPs reported reducing the number of clinical sessions worked in order to protect their wellbeing and achieve work-life balance. These new ways of working must be evaluated using research and routine data collection to capture the work-as-done by GPs (rather than the work-as-imagined) in order to inform policy and GP workforce planning.
