Article about feeing up GPs time
...did you mean freeing ?? My surgery brought in an advanced nurse practitioner....so the GPs could reduce their hours! 😅 ....thanks for sharing this! xxx
😂 Yikes! A sudden horrible thought: please don’t anybody read it as having to pay for GPs time ( though anything is possible)
Freeing, freeing, freeing x
Pay-As-You-Go GPs based on results would be ok...30 appts with nowt to show for it, not a penny dear doctor....at last, diagnosis, there's a tenner for printing the hydroxyl prescription.....mmm, you've unleashed my fantasies LK! xxx
Hey, since reaching 60 with great joy because I no longer pay for prescriptions, I think I’d slip the GP a fiver 😉
A Scottish note at that, hah! xxx
Legal tender, though viewed with suspicion at times. Number Two son mixed cocktails part time while at Newcastle Uni. He said they took more Scottish notes than English!
Weirdly, the Legal Tender (Scottish Banknotes) Bill has just been lodged because no bank notes are legal tender in Scotland?!? bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-...
I guess the drink was cheaper in Newcastle even then..! 😅 xxx
My GP surgery has had telephone appointments available for a while. I've found them really useful for "quick queries", and for me the added bonus it helps me pace myself because I'm not having to travel to surgery. The phone appointments I've had have been a good success medically too
Me too. My GPs seem to have quite a few “on the day” appointments which they tuck away in case they really need to see you on the day. I’m a reluctant GP attender, so I usually ask for a telephone call.
Online there are never any appointments available unless you hit the jackpot and can predict you’ll still need one at 8am in ten days time. I rarely resemble a human before 10 am at the earliest.
My gp now no longer does phone calls. So I suppose I could call up with an on the day urgent issue or book an appointment for 2-3 weeks time.
I guess I could do this as I usually have enough to ask a Dr every 2-3 weeks but by then I'm probably seeing a hospital consultant (out of 7 of them) anyway.
Although any queries they then tell me to speak to my GP 😂😂😂
