First edition
Primary Care UK Market Landscape Report
Authored by William Laing | Published: 5th September 2024 | pp. 384

The first edition of LaingBuisson’s Primary Care UK Market Landscape Report reveals a market valued at over £29 billion, with £1.6 billion attributed to private general practitioner (GP) services. This report is essential reading for any stakeholder operating across the private and public healthcare sectors looking to better understand this cornerstone service with a rapidly growing private sector.

The report contains a comprehensive analysis of public and private markets, plus original research on GP Federations and funding sources for private GP consultations, this report empowers informed decision-making in a rapidly changing landscape. New to our reports, LaingBuisson has, for the first time mapped the GP Federations that serve approximately half of England’s population. This section of the market provides about £900 million worth of primary care and related services to the NHS.

Market trends for private GP services have revealed an increase in popularity, with LaingBuisson estimating that 13% of adult GP consultations are now privately paid. This figure is up from 3% 20 years ago. This increase coincides with an era of low-cost virtual medical consultations. Virtual GP services have a combined valuation of over £300 million and show that despite the increased convenience and many people exercising this option during the Covid pandemic, most private GP consultations are still delivered face-to-face.

Employer spending on primary care services is covered in great depth. Insights from the report reveal employers are spending £400 million a year on primary care services, either directly or through employer-paid health cover and protection services.
