I cannot recall my GP ever diagnosing anything him or her self. All they have is a suspicion of what may be wrong. They try a few pills and ask you to come back in a fortnight if you still have the problem and haven't died in the meantime. If you return they refer you to somebody who knows what they are talking about.
The GP system is a "clearing house" designed to keep patients away from medics. The contract "negotiated" by the Blair administration saw them being paid twice as much for half the work. They now get pad additionally for almost everything they do. It is ludicrous that GP practices can "choose not to participate" in something so important as the vaccination rollout.
Much of the NHS needs radical overhaul but the GP system is clearly unfit for purpose (even more so now that they refuse to see, face to face, almost any patient).

// My GPs practice has decided "not to participate" in the vaccination rollout,//
usual sloppo AB speak saying something it doesnt mean
the practice will still be vaccinated but somewhere else and by someone else
and so in that it is participating
oh God - ( sozza andie and God) my practice used a Bewick st venue for vacca and has done everyone in groups one to 4
home vizeets are £10 a pop which doesnt cover costs
if we are going to 'do' NHS economics can we make a little little effort to get it to resemble what is happening
fank-oo

Incorrect, Peter. I have a text message from my practice using exactly those words (or more precisely "...the practice has decided it would be inappropriate to participate in the vaccination exercise"). Their "participation" ended when they sent a list of patients' details somewhere else. The patients are participating; the practice isn't.
//Don't know how much my GP gets, but, however much, he is worth every penny.//
//I think my GP earns every penny he gets.//
You're both very fortunate. I don't think my practice is worth a light. All it does is provides an obstacle which I have to overcome before I can get any treatment I need.

PP I have to agree with NJ this time. Some practices actually are for whatever reason, not involving themselves at all in the vaccine roll out. My own surgery has banded together with other surgeries in the area and are running a vac service from two local leisure centres. They have employed more staff to do it but they are doing the organisation contacting the patients and so on. Other surgeries (I don't think many) have just gone nope uh uh and in that case their patients have no choice but to go to one of the national mega hubs. Details for that information comes from your NHS number and not from GP records which, in most cases are not the same as NHS notes. some 10 to 12 years ago this could have been my mastermind specialist subject!
My experience of visiting my surgery about two months ago, I might add for the first time in about 15/20 years.
Had to book an appointment on line. That's when all the hassle began, emails back and forth, to long to go into, in the end I had to insist on a face to face appointment, why because I considered that the skin disorder developing on one area of my body needed a visual look, touch, and close examination.
I also offered during the back and forth emails at the time to remain on the car park, stop in the car for the doctor to look in the open air if he/ she was that concerned, in other words stick my ruddy leg out the car door.
Any how finally got to the surgery door, after a two three mins on the intercom, explaining yet again who I am what I want, and what time was my appointment, was let in. The inside looked like a outside coal house.
When I was called in, the first question put to me was, why didn't I send a photo of what I was concerned about, my answer was I've already looked at 100s of photos over the last 5/6 weeks on the internet as to try not to bother you, plus I've been to chemists for advice, and what I may treat it with, all medication that's been advised to use over the counter has failed to make any difference.
So has you can see from the above I didn't just go to the doctors at the first sign of a problem.
After looking at the problem for about 30 seconds informed me that he didn't know what it was, but try this medication. My answer to him, well you would have had even less chance of knowing with a photo.
After not attending that surgery for 15/20 years, you would have thought that a quicky examination would have not gone a miss while there, but oh no. Just out the door, and still not knowing to this day what the problem is, and given no follow up appointment. Just left in cookoo land. But according to government the NHS is open if your concerned about anything.
