it seems obvious to me. It should be at least 20 minutes per patient, ideally 30 to ensure that you are not missing out something, not feeling in a rush and doing all the referrals, notes etc that are needed

Neil123 :
The 10 min appointment appears not to be mandated by law, but a time limit set by GP surgeries so they can change it if they want to, but no one seems to want to. Ultimately, GP partnerships are businesses and so they have to see a certain number of patients daily in order to remain viable. 10 mins seems to be a guideline time though. What no one ever clarifies is whether salaried GPs get reprimanded routinely by the GP partners if they do not stick to the 10 min timeline.

Dave will do :
What do you think why the system is so broken, just call 📞 my surgery and they are off for training, could of done it on a weekend and payed the time and ½. My mate was in A&E yesterday, he was there 6 hours asked how long it would be after that an said your going to be waiting till the next day over 24 hours. WHAT IS GOING ON?

Cycling Man :
As there is no longer consistency with patient care, GP's who see patients for the first do not recall related matters and often misdiagnose, compounds matters further. Such is based on experience, as well as GP's not listening

Don’t forget the comforting when a gp understands you and makes you feel validated so you break down. My gp is fab. I went last December re my mental health. He not only helped me but gave me guidance on how to help my elderly parents that their GP had failed to do. I’ve never been made to feel like I’m taking time & don’t mind when they run late & I’ve had appointments re mental health & sarcoidosis

and then people take out their frustrations on you! i have complex health conditions and long history on many meds. it takes 5 minutes to just talk about my long term health conditions let alone the actual problem i go for. so i completely understand people’s frustration but it also shouldn’t be taken out on doctors or any healthcare professionals x

10 mins was decent for undifferentiated patients. My trainer’s trainer used to work on 5 min appt times. Now all the easy stuff like repeat scripts have been taken out, there’s just the more complex patients. We’ve moved to 15 min appts and it’s made a positive difference.

Nicole :
my biggest issue with the doctors is there not able to check notes from hospitals easily I have 3 different hospitals ones a specialist hospital but in my mind if I give express permission that I want my details shared between any involved that should be accessible

Riddhi Joshi :
while 15/20 minute appointments would be fab. it would mean your GP would only be able to see half of the number of patience in a day. you would be waiting double the time for an appointment.

Shireen, there's no need to speak so frantically. Slow it down... let each sentence land. The topic is important. ✨
