<p>We are working to increase the general practice (GP) workforce across England,
including in Leicester. This includes measures to boost recruitment, address the reasons
why doctors leave the profession, and encourage them to return to practice.</p><p>NHS
England has allocated £1.9 million of emergency short-term funding this year for the
recruitment of newly qualified GPs in Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland. The
Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Integrated Care Board (LLR ICB) has communicated
the available funding for additional resource to each Primary Care Network, with guidance
on how it can be most effectively used across the ICB area.</p><p>In order to offer
wider opportunities beyond the standard recruitment platforms, the LLR ICB is also
enabling its GPs to widen their candidate search by utilising the LLR Local Medical
Committee’s recruitment channel. The ICB continues to work closely with NHS England
Workforce Training and Education to ensure they maximise the number of GP trainees
that they take in LLR, which also helps with longer term recruitment and retention.</p>
