Description
UK general practice has reached crisis point, with the Covid-19 pandemic placing a strain on an already crumbling primary care service. Seventy-five years after the NHS was created, Dr Ellen Welch explores how the job of being a GP has changed, particularly since the pandemic.
This book features personal accounts from practicing GPs who have experienced firsthand the challenges facing the profession. From the impact of the pandemic to the future of general practice, those on the frontline try to answer the question: how did we get here? With contributions from GPs and commentators, Why Can't I See My GP offers a nuanced understanding of the issues and potential solutions.
