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 it’s what we are seeing across the country. Could you DM me as I’d like to try and help and support if I can.

@GPDrYvetteDoc I've been working in GP land as a PN since 1996. It has never been as bad as this.

@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

@toptottieNic Thanks, we've been rejected funding twice so not something I want to spend anymore time pursuing. Very draining πŸ˜”

@GPDrYvetteDoc So sorry Yvette, that's rubbish for you - and could be a disaster for your patients. What is your ICB doing?

@HelenRSalisbury Nothing I'm afraid, just continuing to dump everything on GPs.

@GPDrYvetteDoc So sorry to hear πŸ˜” Working such a demanding job for free just isn’t acceptable. We all have mortgages & financial responsibilities. This cannot go on.

@GPDrYvetteDoc They are trying to strangle the partnership model. We all know if GPs came under Trusts it would be utter inefficient horeshit though.

@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. That’s 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 .
