I was about to save the NHS thousands but even so was obliged to seek a private GP for the purpose of obtaining the required letter sooner. GP surgeries are a disgrace.
Well I had to wait 6 weeks for a telephone appointment about two dodgy moles on my back. I was asked to send phots - which I did. Then on the call the pillock asked what they looked like, I said they are on my back, he replied so what do they look like, the photographs I replied. In the end he said he wanted to consult another doctor and came back wanting more photos. How on earth can anyone make a call on a mole from a photo?
Anyway, I gave up and paid £300 for a private consutant, no problem at all for me but what do the poor do?
Many GP's are a disgrace, and yes my daughter is one, she is not impressed with many of them either.
I've yet to see anything that shows they are hard done by. Of course the salary they quote seems low but that's always for those at the start of tbeir career, and no one gets top whack then.
If they don't wish to serve the public perhaps they need to go private only, and see how big the market is for that.
Meanwhile the NHS needs to lpok for replacements who are happy with service clauses in their contract.
Our gp is great. They operate a triage system and the doctor who is doing the triage decides if you need to see someone face to face or a telephone appointment would suffice.
The waiting room in our surgery is pretty much empty because lots of appointments are now done over the phone, the doctors don't sit there with feet up doing their nails, etc, they're doing telephone appointments.
Our surgery isn't back to how it was before covid, it's better 👍
