GP leaders have said if action is not taken soon to stabilise general practice the consequences for patients will be severe.
Speaking to BBC News NI, Dr Stout said this was impacting the quality of the service as GPs just cannot cope with current demand. "It is vitally important that in the absence of an executive that he's given as much opportunity as possible around transforming services as much as possible."GPs also told politicians that their contracts need to change and become less bureaucratic so they have more time to spend with patients.Both colleges said there is a need to know how many GPs, surgeons and nurses are required in the future to meet demographics.
Forgot to mention the significant numbers working part time. More females than males coming into the profession. Females generally more likely to work part time. However, many young male GPs are also choosing to work part time. So yeah more part time GPs would help I guess.
Ballix !
90% are working part-time?...yet during the Covid CASH-Vaccince bonanza, GP's were working late nights and weekends as they want all the EXTRA Cash!...now the CASH is gone the Gp's are gone....very odd! We all know what the GP's are at!
Poor workforce planning and poor Academic practises Hardly new, news - double the number of student Medical places would help workforce plan.. also giving away medical places to international students who have zero intention of being a Ni GP is part of the issue.
