GP Bureaucracy Awareness Campaign Day 11 February 2026

Today is a GP Bureaucracy Awareness Campaign Day Wednesday 11 February 2026. The fight against GP bureaucracy. General practice is being overwhelmed by bureaucracy. Every day, GPs are dealing with growing volumes of non-clinical work that takes time away from patient care and puts staff under unsustainable pressure.

GPs report handling 30 or more daily requests that sit outside clinical care. This is not why people train as doctors, and it is not what general practice was designed to deliver.

The result is less time with patients, higher levels of burnout, and increasing risk to patient safety. When GP time is consumed by bureaucracy, access suffers and continuity breaks down.
