Work is beyond crazy. I was back today after 12 days off only to find that there were 670 email prescription requests (the oldest from Friday) and all the paper requests from Monday and Tuesday. The phone didn't stop ringing, so two of us managed to get 120 of the electronic ones sent to the GPs to sign. By tomorrow there will be another 100.
We haven't enough staff to process them and not enough doctors to sign them. #NHSCrisis #GPCrisis

GP crisis: how did things go so wrong, and what needs to change?

The new NHS workforce plan for England promises a 50% increase in GP training places by 2031. But the challenges GPs are wrestling with go much deeper.

Also yet another being fobbed off by all the doctors and the only helpful person out there was the nurse who did my bloods. Caredoc sent me to ER, after 10 hours ER confirmed my toe is super infected and I've a respiratory infection both will need an antibiotic, they then advised me to go to my GP even after I advised them she's booked solid until July. #GPcrisis #HealthCareCrisis #GPshortage FF/fg have really fkd up the #hse we need #SlainteCare yesterday

RT @DrSteveTaylor: Conservative vs Labour MPs seem to agree on one thing

They continue to come up with daft ideas without speaking to GPs

If they did they might be surprised

Who sorted 70% of the Covid vaccinations in an emergency & continue to provide 20% more consults than 2019

1 of the only ways I can communicate with my GP surgery is by email during a #mentalhealth crisis. The email has now been changed to only accept emails between 7-10am Mon-Fri! We heard about this on a text to wish us a happy Christmas last Friday! Totally disgraceful. #gpcrisis
