I work as a full time GP caring for 1500 patients
It's very busy as we're in a deprived area with a large elderly skew
Global sum payment last month didn't cover the bills & wages, so I couldn't take a salary
Before anyone signs up to become a GP, think again, it's unsustainable
@GPDrYvetteDoc
Yvette - this is awful and itβs what we are seeing across the country. Could you DM me as Iβd like to try and help and support if I can.
@GPDrYvetteDoc
So sorry to hear this Yvette - things have been tough (to say the least) for a while. Can ICB support financially? worth a chat with primary care team? LMC to get some pastoral support? Honestly not trying to teach you to suck eggs - support here from PM community x
@GPDrYvetteDoc
So sorry to hear π
Working such a demanding job for free just isnβt acceptable. We all have mortgages & financial responsibilities.
This cannot go on.
@GPDrYvetteDoc
GPs wanted to be private providers, wanted to run your own businesses.
You demanded private contracts & are a large part of privatised medicine in the U.K.
Thatβs the bed GPs insisted upon.
Seems like you run a small practice.
I suggest you deal with it & think creatively.
@GPDrYvetteDoc
Sorry to hear you're having trouble,but you really shouldn't be putting people off becoming GPs because your practice is not doing well,for whatever reason. I would definitely recommend GP .
