GPs: working harder than ever
Extract from the Introduction:
Workload in general practice has been increasing, with direct clinical workload for GPs rising by 18% in 7 years.1 But funding for general practice2 and investment in workforce have not risen to keep pace.
Research by the Royal College of General Practitioners shows that GPs are routinely working 11-hour days in clinic, with up to 60 patient contacts per day. GPs are now working harder than ever. It is not surprising then to find that one in three GPs think that their current workload is unmanageable.3 Workload is consistently identified as a key reason underpinning the current exodus of many GPs from direct clinical care.
