In all my yrs as a PM, this past wk has been the worst for complaints & moans from disgruntled patients fuelled by bad press telling them theyโre getting a bad service. Which they are not!

@clara_neuro @BarbaraSutton15@Laracapybara@DeanEggitt@MsRonnieDorsey Yep! And the true value of the partnership model is only known to those who see it happen. You donโt get that kind of value anywhere else in the NHS.
@BarbaraSutton15@DeanEggitt@MsRonnieDorsey This is what will end the partnership model as many earn the same or less than a salaried GP. So they throw in the towel and hand back the contract (Iโm seeing this happen a lot) then all the free work being done will cease as large companies take over.
If you're seeing all this stuff about abuse of GPs/staff and wonder what you can do......
1. before you call your surgery, think about what you NEED rather than what you want
2. try the eConsult (should be on the website) easier than phoning
3. Be kind
@DeborahMeaden@TheIGPM have launched a campaign to tackle abuse aimed at general practice staff. Weโd love it if you could lend us your support https://t.co/277pvJ3UDN #BeKind
Every day General Practice staff across the UK suffer abuse from the very people they are trying to help. Please share our video โIf I die it will be your faultโ to pledge your support https://t.co/OorP2iknel #TheAbuseMustStop
Iโm extremely worried about my and other GP practices. We are on our knees. Staff are breaking down in tears. We are exhausted. We are broken. We need the unrelenting increase in demand and abuse to reduce or we will collapse. @NikkiKF@MattHancock@pulsetoday@TheBMA@TheIGPM
Thank you for your support @NHSCEOAdamDoyle we will lead #Praticemanagers and ensure the profession gets the recognition they deserve. With the support of leaders across the #nhs like you will can be sure of sucess.
