Lecturing? I have an opinion which you didn't need to read if you didn't want to.
That's quite a few pops you've attempted at me recently, alfs barnet. No idea where it's come from, but glad I didn't have to try.

Maybe it's just the ones around my area then, ERN.
I'd move GP's but from speaking to MATES, the other ones around the area are just as bad.
Still, apparently its all in my head and in the Daily Mail.

So because Trundle finds it difficult to get an appointment and knows a GP that plays golf, he is more of an expert on the working life of a GP than a poster who's own wife is a GP?
Sadly, another example of Trundle lecturing the whole forum on things he knows nothing about.

My perception has come from my experience, not from any publication.
My GP (I say my GO, but it could be a number of different ones including the locum ones that just look up on Google what might be wrong with you), is notoriously difficult to arrange a face to face meeting. Everything is being pushed to be done over the phone, apart from repeat prescriptions which they've made more difficult to obtain.
I also know a GP that played an enormous amount of golf during the lock down, and was able to cut his handicap.
And they seem to encourage people just to go into the walk-in centres instead of them having to do any work.
And god forbid them working on weekends it seems. You can get your hair cut on a Sunday, my wife can get her nails done on a Sunday, but to visit a GP at your local surgery? No chance!
As I said, easy work if you can get it.

I'm currently doing work for CCGs and that's the reality.
People conflate difficulties in getting face to face appointments (for all the reasons described) with doctors doing fuck all instead.
And the 'lazy GP' narrative is an easier one for the likes of the Daily Mail to push than the realities of a system under great strain.

I'm genuinely interested in where these perceptions come from.
My guess is, FB, Twitter, The Sun and/or The Daily Mail or any other swivel-eyed right wing claptrap that knuckle draggers feed off.

Interested in why you think that Trundle.
My wife is a GP. That's certainly not her experience at the moment. Over the years her working day varies between 10-13 hours depending what's walked through the door. Since the last re-opening, it's been consistenly near the top end of that range.
She's not looking for extra money. Any extra income for practice would get would very quickly spent on offering more appiontments as the demand has never been so high.
GP's are a bit like the A&E department in that they have to take up the slack of other agencies in times of stress on the system. As an example, she spent 1hr yesterday trying to find someone in community services to make sure an autistic guy was taking his medicine as he was in a bad way and was clearly not capable of looking after himself. The easy option would have been to admit him to hospital, but she knows the difficulty hospitals are under so spent a long time trying to find a service that would deal with it in the community. She found one service that could take him on for 1 week only. There is a story like this every day.
The number of doctors per head of population has never been so low and the support services never so stretched. She would gladly forgo any pay rise to see that situation improve.
It's never been so hard to be a GP as it is now. The routine stuff is largely taken on by other healtcare professionals like nurse practiioners or pharmicists. That leaves all the complex cases (like the example I've given) to GP's to fit into a 10min consultation. Previously the routine appointments would act as an opportunity to soften the blow of the complex cases.
I'm not trying to make any statement about whether GPs deserve more money not, but I can't let the suggestion that it's an easy job pass unchallenged. I'm genuinly interested in where these perceptions come from.

"The doctors reckon they should get a 30% rise"
I do hope their not GP's who are asking for that.
Gotta be the easiest job in the world to be a GP at the moment.

So the front pages today have barristers, Bank of England staff, and NHS doctors, all threatening to strike, if not already on strike. The doctors reckon they should get a 30% rise.
Let’s see how outraged the Government and media are about these ‘professional class’ strikes, compared to their attempts to vilify Lynch.

He just needs the employers to answer the points he listed one by one - 0% pay increase for 3 years, redundancy numbers, unsocial hours differential pay decreased to time + 1/10th, use of own transport, etc, and see what they say. That way the public can decide who the cunts are in this, and he'll either achieve sainthood like Crow did, or he'll be destroyed

Are billionaires not getting richer simply it's because it's from them that the government borrow (with interest) the money to pay for what the tax take doesn't cover?
