BMA: representing GP registrars nationally and in the workplace

For almost 200 years, the BMA has been supporting doctors; from tuition to physician and beyond.

We’re there when you need us.

We’ve been representing doctors for 190 years, so we know how it is.

At this stage of your professional journey -  

We know that you need representation; so, we negotiate at local and national levels, representing doctors both individually and collectively to secure better pay and rights. 

We know that you need support at work, so we provide individual employment advice, including contract checking, leave, remuneration and guidance and representation from experienced professionals. 

We know that you’re looking to progress during and after training; so, we provide access to the BMJ online and in print, hundreds of clinical and non-clinical CPD-accredited modules with BMJ Learning, discounted entry to BMJ masterclasses, GP general update and point of care support with ClinicalKey and access to our evidence support team who are on hand to help with your research.

We’ll look after you. You look after your patients.
