answer text <p>NHS England and Health Education England (HEE) are working together with the profession to increase the general practitioner (GP) workforce nationally. This includes measures to boost recruitment, address the reasons why GPs are leaving the profession, and encourage GPs to return to practice.</p><p> </p><p>The Targeted Enhanced Recruitment Scheme is available in Nottinghamshire and offers a £20,000 salary supplement to attract doctors to parts of the country where there have been consistent shortages of GP trainees. 12 places were available in 2018 and a further 12 have been made available in 2019 in Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire.</p><p> </p><p>Mansfield and Ashfield Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and Newark and Sherwood CCG advise that the first wave of their international recruitment has taken place and the first few recruits are in post with further candidates in the pipeline. An increasing number of practices are also now sponsors for International Medical Graduates (on Tier 2 visas) who have trained in the United Kingdom.</p><p> </p><p>To address retention, the CCGs advise that they have a wide range of schemes available including a Trainee Transition programme which is providing trainees in their third year of training with flexible working options, a GP mentoring and support scheme, and a Post Certificate of Training (CCT) Fellowship. The CCT Fellowship provides additional support for GPs to extend their skills in leadership, digital working and urgent and emergency care.</p><p> </p><p>In additional to this, the CCGs advise that they are tackling practice workload and generating a wider culture of job satisfaction through engagement in the Releasing Time for Care programme. The programme includes training for administrative staff to reduce the burden on GPs.</p>
