Also known as Doctor Mark, Tartkat - like beer, good food, rugby, Ipswich Town FC - and pretty ladies! Part time GP, dermatologist and Motorsport Medic.
The average number of patients per GP has risen by nearly 300 over 5 years, a 15% increase
In addition 1 in ten are waiting for hospital treatment
Funding for GP practices has fallen 20%
Yet despite this GP Practices are providing 31 million appts a month - a 4 million increase
GP CRISIS
1.4million Consultations / day take place in GP Practices
Hospitals are really busy looking after 350,000 people
27,000 GPs compared with 130,000 hospital Drs
I know that this is not entirely comparable, but Primary Care only receives less than 8% of NHS budget - help!
GPs have provided 20% more than 2019
More face to face, on the day, home visits, tele appts
More of everything
Govt & NHSE have instead funded additional roles, Pharmacies & cut real terms funding by 20%
GPs are leaving one at a time, then teams, then practices
Blame MPs not GPs
Dear Junior Doctors and Consultants,
There is absolutely nothing wrong with knowing your worth.
Please donโt let the Government or the media convince you otherwise.
Weโre behind you all the way.
Lots of love ๐

Please retweet if you want our Freedom of Movement restored.
We were robbed of our right to live, work, study and love in 30 countries by the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history.
