General practice is a success story that is both cost-effective and valued by patients. We at GP think that's a story worth telling, particularly at a time when funding cuts, extended hours, polyclinics and other government plans threaten practice viability and the national media continues to bash GPs on income.

This is why GP launched the Valuing General Practice campaign last May. The campaign was backed by 285 GPs, 3,980 patients, the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats and bodies including the RCGP, BMA, NHS Alliance and National Association of Primary Care. Gordon Brown also responded to the campaign and although the campaign has come to and end we've gathered the best bits below.
