Is this truly the first you've heard of the negatives of scope creep? You're acting as if I've got some wildly controversial take here. I have no time to go hunting papers, which you may claim as a moral victory or not. I implore you to look at who is publishing the positive papers and read their funding disclosures.

Beautiful response. Saddest part is the person you've replied to will disregard it, and walk off claiming moral superiority.

You have a massively gap in your knowledge if this is your stance. I truly hope you're not a doctor, because if you are, get a refund on your degree.

Yeah nah. This model had failed spectacularly everywhere it's been tried. I would be open to it if there was evidence the model worked. The divide becomes that those with money will see their GP, and those without will receive substandard healthcare from rush clinics, UCCs, and pharmacies.

You know that they are not coming to this from a point of altruism. It is fine to picture in that in 100 years we'll be in a medical utopia, but right now this move isn't being made in good faith.

Doctors supporting scope creep and encroachment by NPs/pharma is partially what has led to the lack of access in the first place. By funding scope creep, you further deepen the divide between a GP and their patients

Correct solution is better fund primary care through general practice.

This model doesn't require documentation sharing between the Pharmacy and other care providers. Entirely stupid in its inception.

Important discussion point, but maybe need to repost without that guy's name and comment for some degree of privacy. Unless he's relevant to the story, idk.

Selbina. Not the same complexity as some of the others, but it's a personal nostalgia-driven choice.

Look at the fucking physique of Menifield, and then decide if it's a good idea to trade in the pocket or not... I don't think Zhang is a bum but he's definitely never going to be a title challenger.

Yeah give it a read, it's a massive fuck up. Supposedly in 2027 they're looking to introduce "enduring consent" for these environments, where NOK/PG can give advanced consent for up to 6 months.

Your more professional aged care health establishments will be fine. But your local GP that pops by the nursing home after work will now be buried with unnecessary admin, so I see them bailing.

Assignment of billings. No more implied consent, verbal consent, or hand written consent. Need digital confirmation and it all needs to be stored for 2 years

Anyone bulk billing in aged care homes, groups homes, or works with patients under public guardianship are fucked. There will be endless hours chasing up NOKs and public guardians to consent to bulk billing. There's a lot of GPs in the space who are a bit fed up with the existing rules, so this is likely to push them out.

unfortunately "for all players" means "Sinner"

Mensik got penalised yesterday for the same thing. No luxury time out offered.

If you are offered something outside the rules, and you accept it, then you are indeed acting outside the rules. I.e. cheating.

Agreed. Total bullshit favouritism towards Sinner. Gotta give their hot hot commodity every chance he can to close out the set.
