Overworked GPs in desperate need of help
09 May 2019
I work as a GP in a large practice in Bristol and my workload has reached unmanageable levels. I joined as a partner in 2010 when we served a population of 10,000 patients in a six doctor practice. But since then, while some surgeries have closed or merged in the city, no new practices have opened to take on the burden. We now have a 22,000 patient list and 15 doctors.
