WHY?
#NHS "trusts have continued to incentivise the practice, with GPs being offered bonuses to keep in person attendances low"
Why are MANAGERS doing this?
I've given up speaking to my GP surgery!
I'm at high cancer risk!
An existing rheumatology patient

I was told, days ago, if i couldn't get the bloods done that i needed (due to the #blood vial crisis) they'd have to cancel my apt & it would be a year till if get another!
Remember, I'm already in the system, classed as vulnerable due to being a Tx patient, this high risk!
1 yr!

The local GP surgery manager already hates me & has tried to have me removed. It's a rural practise (the only one) covering all the villages in a 10 x 5mi area!
So what if my recent round of tests haven't been forwarded & I'm not seen for another yr?
What if i were your 10yr kid?

So should it make any difference having to fight to be seen at my age, indeed any age?

Ppl talk about when problems happen in the #nhs, no folks! They're happening NOW!

....

So I've had to fight the:
🔵 district council not to be evicted for being disabled & in need
🔵 The "health system" to stay alive
🔵 Even the county council adult social services might be a battle based on the visit Mon !

This is how this nation treats our sickest ppl now!
