Researchers say findings are sobering, with shortages in England predicted to top 10,000 by 2030-31.
The shortage of GPs in England is set to become worse, with more than one in four posts predicted to be vacant within a decade, an analysis suggests.
The think tank believes the government will struggle to increase the number of GPs, while demand will continue to rise - creating a bigger shortfall.But ministers have admitted they are struggling to achieve that. The analysis also warned the number of GP nurses is unlikely to increase, although the drive to recruit other health professionals into general practice, such as pharmacists and physios, will provide a boost.
Anita Charlesworth, director of research at the Health Foundation, said the findings were not unique to England, with pressures being felt elsewhere in the UK."It's critical that government takes action to protect general practice and avoid it getting locked in a vicious cycle of rising workload driving staff to leave, in turn creating more pressure on remaining staff and fuelling even more departures.
