It's almost like privatising most the GP Surgeries back in 2004 has had some "unforeseen" knock on effect. Almost like these companies are looking for profits and dividends to pay their share holders over providing a viable service
@@MrJimiJK The NHS is just a banner now. Most departments are run by private companies under the NHS banner. The NHS has to pay these companies from it's budget. GP surgeries are not run by the NHS. The NHS pays the owner of the surgery to take on NHS patients, similar to how dentist work.
@@stonelane1827 yep, surgeries are run like a business to make money now, they are taking advantage of the massive population increase from abroad, the patients seem to be 2nd on the list , it really is an overpopulation problem .
Their time is not just the appointment, it’s following things up, checking results, making referrals, calling patients back. 25 a day is actually quite a lot, my tax accountant earns more and doesn’t see 25 clients a day 😂
I might see more of my GP now if shes picketing on the street than trying to make an appointment to see her about illness i have nearly forgotten what she looks like
Do you want 1 Gp to see more then 25 appointment. Do you really want a Gp only to give 5 mins. This will also include admin work to make test request, documentation and going through ur history. Then if sometime is left he ask you what's wrong with you.
Thats whats been happening since covid mostly dont even get to see the doctor you tell the receptionist whats wrong with you and they tell the doctor lol what rock have you been living under @@chiragshetty4608
@@jonrollerson7824 do one thing you yourself become a Gp. Before telling other to do that. If GP are going to 1 min to listen to patient. Better you don't have a gp. Better you all go to ED that's best for you all m
My surgery says I can book appointment online, but whoever I go online, always says i can’t book and to call in. Or, I get a letter telling me to book appt, can’t get thru via phone. Just book appt already and il change it if not suitable date or time
We need to start accepting the fact that this country is a poor country. We talk as if it’s a scandal but the truth is, we are all poorer, and the country is beyond repair. We spent billions paying people to sit at home during covid which we never could afford and then wonder why we’re in debt
We need to bring back accountability to Doctors and GP's. I have an illness where if I overheat I could die. My tablets stopped working and I went to the GP who changed my tablet. Great except when she didn't put a tablet I take everyday on repeat, her answer was "Should of opened the window". Had I died who'd take responsibility for neglect? Guarantee its not the GP, and yet they want a raise for what? a 3min appoint where you are not allowed to explain what's wrong with you.
@bonaparte1988 basically when my core body overheat I produce extra histamines into my blood. These explode causing my face, hands, nose etc to see as if I had botox filler. If it blocks my nose or get into my throat it can be quite dangerous.
I have had severe arthritis in most of my joints for 30+ yrs , a GP,( not my normal GP that iv'e not managed to see for 4 yrs) referred me to a physiotherapist....after explaining my joints problems to the physio she replied, well we can't treat all of them so pick one!! at that point a got up & left...
It's all about money and NOT about health. They were paid a minimum of £10 per covd vax over and above their normal pay. Their hours at work were the same but refused to see patients with real illnesses- those didn't bring in the extra ££s. They abandoned calls from old people who had no other way of getting help
25 patients mean 20 mins per patient which include admin, going through the patient history and documentation work. I think more for per patient is good would provide better quality for patients. I wonder if it includes home visit. I hope not.
Not a single person here are considering the issues GPs face. They aren’t on this astronomical wage some of you are assuming. The incredible levels of pressure and scrutiny are beyond a joke. Half of you likely working from home will never understand the time they have to spend writing notes and communicating with other departments to ensure that YOU don’t sue them for choosing a noble profession in which they save your lives. Most have work to take home, starting work at 8am and not leaving work until 8pm. Good on them for taking industrial action. Most of you will never understand the privileged lives you live due to those who train and work in the public sector.
@@MrGreenmario if you think people believe that GPs are paid £15 an hour you are deluded most GPs retire at 50 they don't need to work till they are seventy something, 10 million pensions are not getting winter payments yet they are welcoming illegals into the country and giving 23% pay rises, wait till the train drivers want a rise once you give to one you have to give to all 5.5% rise for teachers who work just as hard as junior doctors. We need to protest with no confidence in this government before we are all destitute on the streets while illegals are being given houses.
They just been given a rise now want more We haven't been able to get appointments Allowed 5 minutes And allowed to ask only one thing At my Dr's Since the starting of covid
It does make sense in terms of quality medical help. Getting 5 to 10 minutes with a GP is bordering malpractice and poor health because errors can occur in that rush.
Seeing patients is only a small part of a GPs role. Hospital referrals, running specialist clinics, continuing education, reading reports, writing letters, test results end of life care, home visits, running/administration of premises/staff team etc etc. It all takes time.
My GP pra tice was rated one of the worst nothing yo be told your appointment is cancel on the day due to unforeseen circumstancrs Althoughh i have been with my practice for over 30 years i do not k now any of thr gps in my practicel Would we notice a strike?
They waste sssooo much time fluffing around. . Get the drs to diagnose patients before they die of easy diagnosis, but fail patients. I cant be bothered to argue with receptionist, or practice manager. 1 problem only at a time. 5 mins allowed. So where does the rest of the time go??????!!!!!!?????
If gp see 37 pts a day it is 6 hours of 10 min patients with no breaks and patients are not 10 minutes and the following referrals letters documentation notes are another 1 to 2 hrs, and then in addition the admin work including your daily repeat prescription requests reviewing bloods and reviewing letters and calling some pt unscheduled for urgent things. So this is clearly another 2.5 hr if one is very efficient. Who justifies such a long day and think GPs burnout is just that tgey are lazy! A full day is not just 8 hours it is 10 to 12 hrs for a GP. Please see the extent of work load on Gps. There is always the otherside of picture. The GPs who work part time, they are working as a locum at other places to cut down some admin work which is generated by salaried work and to be able to breathe. If a GP is doing 6 session in a week and supporting a family, they are just meeting the end. I am not sure where this huge salaries thing coming from.
25? Since when. Lot less than that a day. Telephone appointments r better as most things don’t need a visit in the surgery and are quick things. Would free time in surgeries for serious issues.
Pay them nothing and replace them they are still cowering away from covid in my town have to wait 5 days to get seen. When you call up theres no one to even answer the phone where are they how come theyvare all sick since 2021 what happened
That's good. You can locate a human. Is it also possible to program the phone using remote heart rate scanning components to help heart patients like me? It is possible to die at any moment.
