This includes a review of the GP recruitment process, developing a pre-GP year to give exposure to prospective GP applicants of the specialty and careers advice for foundation doctors and medical students.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>In recognition of the contribution the GP workforce makes in the NHS, HEE will also undertake additional work on GP recruitment and retention, return to practice and reducing attrition rates, all of which will play a part in increasing the GP workforce.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>The following table indicates the number of posts commissioned and filled and the fill rate for GP training in England for the last five years.
