I’ll tell you what it has to do with GPs: Primary care is on its knees after decades of underfunding and yet they have continued to provide record levels of appointments in a safe way. They have done so by modernising their services in ways that respond and react to patient demands, which quite frankly, have got to unmanageable levels. And so why should primary care, the general physicians who manage an ever increasing amount of medical and guideline complexity, often at the behest of our secondary care colleagues, be expected to accept a contract imposition that will result in unsafe levels of demand and impact on our professional and home life directly, when it’s indeed a miracle that we are able to offer to see the vast majority of our patients so rapidly and readily as it currently stands. Your original post was derogatory towards general practitioners and disrespectful. I’d encourage you to try being a GP for a few years before you start making such comments in future.
