This was difficult to discuss for many reasons @wilsonstsurgery & occurred when highlighting pressures on primary care.
The #GPcrisis is ongoing & worsening. We can’t normalise abuse of GPs & receptionists. 1/7

No matter what the frustrations are, we are ultimately here to help patients. To be abused makes a hard job even more difficult.
The experiences of so many surgeries and it’s many staff simply cannot continue to be ignored.

The pressure on primary care staff is due to many reasons including:
➡️ Chronic under-resourcing and poor staffing of primary care
➡️ Later presentations of pts with worsening conditions
➡️ Secondary care delays resulting in primary care holding increasingly complex pts

GPs have, during the pandemic:
✅ Remained open throughout
✅ Provided face to face appointments when clinically appropriate
✅ Set up & run community covid clinics to help prevent overload of secondary care
✅ Provided vaccination for >70% for all those vaccinated

What we need:
❌Removal of pointless and antagonistic SOPs
🛑Abuse to stop
👂🏼For frontline staff to be heard
⏹ Stop non-essential activity so we can focus on what we need to i.e. patient care
❤️Kindness and patience
Excellent ideas 👇🏼
