Thank you @ColmBurkeTD for your advocacy on this issue, which has the potential to seriously affect the running and development of GP practices. Patients will suffer unless a solution is found ASAP.
Study of final medical students in @UCC on a career in GP.
“… students were discouraged from general practice by the denigration of general practice by hospital doctors …” IMJ May 23.
@MedCouncilIRL needs to take this in hand.
The problem is not that people are attending EDs inappropriately. The problem is over 900 people have attended appropriately, now require hospital admission but cannot access a bed & are at higher risk of poorer outcomes as a result.
931 patients waiting on a bed in our EDs. All have been assessed and require admission. Inhumane conditions for patients and staff. The core problem is capacity, in the past decade successive Governments have failed to increase capacity to meet the needs of a growing population.
Also worth noting that - in my experience at least - junior doctors are far more likely to be bullied by permanent ward staff if they are female. We need to call out the misogyny that underlies so much of this behaviour.
If you want to understand what a GP does, please listen to this interview with @cooper_m and a wonderful GP, Dr Maura McLoughlin, who speaks so honestly on the challenges of balancing being a doctor and being a parent, person and a patient herself.
