I'm a GP. And I'm a GP...

Worth watching, if only to clarify what we actually do every day at work. There probably is a workable model for private primary care provision, but the Sainsbury's model certainly isn't it. The glitch?...that general practice doesn't work by episode. Patients' problems, and therefore their diagnosis and management, are often longterm and best suited to longer term contacts over years rather than swift 10 minute prescription handovers. The family GP is here to stay one way or another.

Well done-a nicely made video. The vast majority of patients that I know are desperate to maintain the existing service. It is for this reason that we should try and protect it. The policians have their own agenda-as do the media.
Jaffa cake--I found your comments very amusing; well done.

It IS about GP popularity - don't you see?
The NHS is just a version of a badly run company.

No comments for months. I'm not surprised. Is anyone bothered? GPs are not popular people perhaps.....not even with hospital colleagues?

No not much in the way of comments but the viewings keep happening, drip drip. It's not actually about GP popularity, it's about whether you want your future GP services run by huge companies whose ultimate loyalty is to the 'bottom line'/shareholder. If that doesn't bother you then so be it. Maybe watch it again.

And GPs are the ones most bothered about proposed changes! must be something to do with the huge amounts they are currently earning from the NHS.

GP's totally suck. I'vd never met a single GP that hasn't mis-diagnosed me at some stage. Arrogant, rude, tossers (of both sexes) who spend more time guessing wrong, than guessing right. I don't trust any of them.

Excellent job in getting hte salient points across; if only the BMA were half as good...

Well done. Gets the points across very nicely. Let's hope this gets the coverage it needs

What puzzles me somewhat is this: if it's such a big issue with the profession (GPs) who obviously will know more detail than the public, why hasn't the profession as a whole coordinated a strong and coherent protest to this government?! if things are surreptiously being changed within General Practice without public awareness why hasn't the media broadcast this?
