Is that a Time Team spinoff?
Don’t worry. He has a cunning plan.Tony Robinson needs a job these days
Whatever next?
GPs to be given cash (bribes) to see more patients face to face (just like they used to!)
The hospital where my wife works yesterday had a queue of 98 people in A&E, the vast majority referred by their GP after a telephone "consultation".
After a quick check and either a prescription or re-assurance thet were sent off on their way.
This should be the job of the GP not clogging up Accident and Emergency units - the clue to their main purpose is in their title!
I've no doubt those same GPs are happy to socialise face to face in bars and restaurants with friends and colleagues but are reluctant to carry out their paid professions.
Makes my piss boil (maybe I should see a GP).
Telephone consultations are great as a filter - who needs to actually see the doctor to find you have carpal tunnel syndrome, or flu?Well I like telephone consultations. Got a call back at work, took ten minutes out of my day instead of having to book half a day of leave to sit in a room full of diseased people.
This is just the government pushing the blame onto GPs who were told to stop face to face appointments as part of covid measures.Whatever next?

No problem with things that can be handled over the phone, but GPs routinely sending patients to A&E for minor/trivial ailments instead of inviting them to the surgey is a total drain on the vastly costlier A&E unit not to mention their inability to properly deal with patients who really need A&E care. It's a filter which in not working.Well I like telephone consultations.

In theory it's ideal but having to sit on the phone for 40 minutes at work on hold isn't ideal.

You need to change doctors by the sound of it. Mine is a piece of piss. Book online, get a time slot they’ll call you. Job done.
Might join yours so I can sniff the seat after you have been in.
Booking is gash. Why I can’t just book it online instead of talking to an arsey receptionist I don’t know.
Can't you use the NHS app?

Not at my GP I don’t think.

I used to be able to book online and then last year the option disappeared. Dunno if they were having problems with it or it was being misused but I found it worked brilliantly and I'm gutted the option is gone.
Same at mine, they removed it as they said it couldn't be used for booking phone appointments but surely its not a huge development job to sort that out given its a nationwide system.I used to be able to book online and then last year the option disappeared.

For most things a phone call is fine. Quicker and more convenient. Can't understand the Government's obsession about face to face GP appointmentsGPs are a waste of space. Absolutely no interest.
It's no wonder people go straight to A and E and take up their time in there.
The whole "can't see people" is bollocks as well. It's much easier for them to give you a 2 minute phone call and tell you to go and get tested for COVID. (After you have spent 40 minutes on hold to make the appointment that morning because you can't pre book, you have to ring up at 8AM with everybody).

One lab.43000 possible incorrect PCR results given .
Mostly down south and Wales.
Hell of a thing to get wrong
One lab.
It's probably Matt Hancocks barman in his shed. 2 million pound contract
Government records show that Immensa, which was founded in May 2020 just months after the start of the pandemic, has been awarded contracts for Covid testing by the Department of Health valued at £181 million.
