🆘GP Crisis🆘
GP is the most monitored, regulated, inspected area of #NHS
Tick boxes for referral, monitoring, appts, appraisal, learning, training
It has more targets - CQC/NHSE/GMC/Gov
8000 too few GPs - more leaving
1.4m appts/day

🆘GP Crisis🆘
Too many targets in order earn the money to provide care for patients
Means many appts are provided just for targets - not necessarily for the care patients really need
2🧵
🆘GP Crisis🆘
The CQC inspection process duplicates much of the monitoring done in GP
Adds levels of bureaucracy to over burdened GPs
GPs pay for the inspection
Little support is given
Would be better replaced with a support service helping practices improve

🆘GP Crisis🆘
The GMC regulates GPs
GPs pay to be regulated
The regulations require annual appraisal / 5 yearly revalidation
This adds bureaucracy to the normal process of being a professional Dr

🆘GP Crisis🆘
The NHS GP contract - Over 230 pages
NHS England & Government regulation for GP services mean GPs are forced to accept what little the Government are willing to provide for Primary Care
Without proper funding GP will collapse
8000 too few GPs - more leaving
