Heat (2026), the latest GP summer survey

qashqade’s annual summer survey, run with Wagtails, is featured in The Drawdown. This year’s results point to LP–GP trust as the force driving demand for more reporting and transparency. AI is front and centre: 40% of GPs say it’s genuinely handed them time back, though 30% still won’t let it operate unsupervised. The result is a profession warming to automation for data monitoring and anomaly-flagging while staying deliberately cautious about how far to trust it.
