The loss of rural GP practices puts patients at risk. Over the last decade we’ve lost thousands of GP partners across the country and rural practices are at particular risk. They need better protection.

You will miss GPs when they are gone
BUPA advert below £140 for 30 min
Currently you pay £163/year via Taxes for your GP services (it’s not enough)
Govt/NHSE have increased this be £3 this year - 2%
Average number of appts/year is 7 but many have more
Can’t see a GP - blame MPs

[Dr Steve Taylor @DrSteveTaylor]

AVERAGE COST OF APPOINTMENT TO THE NHS

Pharmacy First - £40
ARRS - £35
GP - £23

Which ones do the Government & NHSE support? Which one is more needed & safer for patient care?

GPs are leaving, one at a time, then teams, then contracts handed back

Blame MPs not GPs

@DrEmmaNash Greater continuity with a primary care physician has been shown to be associated with lower mortality rates,fewer hospital admissions, less use of emergency departments, and fewer referrals for specialist health care. Yet government fails to grasp this.

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

The UK only has 3.2 doctors per 1,000 people.

The 2nd lowest in Europe and fewer than:

🇦🇹 Austria: 5.5
🇨🇿 Czech Republic: 4.1
🇩🇪 Germany: 4.5
🇮🇹 Italy: 4.1
🇱🇹 Lithuania: 4.5
🇪🇸 Spain: 4.6

We simply cannot afford to lose any more of them.

They just want fair pay.
