"GPs Need To Work Full Weeks!" | Julia Hartley-Brewer Reforming The NHS
Вставка

- Talk's Julia Hartley-Brewer gives her take on how the NHS should be reformed, as a major report on the health service is published.
The NHS must reform or die, Sir Keir Starmer will say, as a major report on the health service is published.
The Prime Minister will set out his plans for tackling long waiting lists, improving the nation’s health and shifting the focus towards community services after a damning report from Lord Darzi found the NHS is “in serious trouble”.
Julia says: "If you want to be a GP you need to work a full week. If you want a part-time job, you need to go into another career!”

The NHS needs to be run like a business not a department of state. The number of managers, including diversity and clinical managers, are huge and there are so many non-jobs, employing people doing work that offers no benefit to either the NHS or the patients using the services. That is where the reform needs to start
My ex created spreadsheets to tell them what they'd counted. Nothing was ever improved. One of those non-jobs that could be done by AI.
Stop the meetingss about the meetings about the original meeting…..
The NHS needs dismantling. It wasn't fit for purpose 40 years ago and it's certainly not now with double the population. Working practices from 40 years ago also need to go down the pan. 43rd in the queue yesterday and still didn't get to see a GP - too busy with 'paperwork.' In other words, at home in his pants writing sicknotes for £25 a pop.
That is not the fault of the NHS it was the people who run it
You are wrong. The NHs worked 40 years ago specifically because the doctors worked all the hours required to do the work. That work ethic has gone
@@ScottM-t2l Talking about the strikes mate. Yes, the work ethic has gone.
The NHS which was oddly the centerpiece of an Olympics opening is s perfect example of another government failure. Why do people look to government for answers?
Because they take our taxes to pay for it. While they can rarely find answers, ultimately spending is their responsibility. If not dissolve parliament give us our money back and let us get on with it.
Julia. My GP was sitting on my X-rays for 2-3 weeks. I was sent to the hospital for a check-up of my chest. They told me the GP would get in touch with me about the result. Never happened. I was having my blood checked as I am diabetic. I asked a receptionist. They said the P dealing with my case was only working 2 days a week. I demanded that at GP tell me what had been found. A different GP phoned me at home and sent me for an
urgent CT Scan for a lung cancer check. Now waiting for the hospital. What a state of affairs we are in.
yes GPs tend to work in more than surgery within a single practice. my GP works 10 hours for 2 days in my local surgery and 10 hours for 2 days in two other surgerys. JHB here wants to cut that time down to just 40 hours for a full week, what would you do then?
My op was delayed again and again over a 2 year period. I later found out my surgeon was off doing ops in a private clinic!
Could go private
Sorry folks ya need to face the truth and grow some spuds ... medling in british foreign policy dragging us into nuclear war is factually extremely convenient when you are a british jewish politician seeking large donations from foreign state actors such as the israel lobby - CPAC and the arms industry who all gain to pretend the lies Netinyahu arent just that ... why daya think Bibi changed all the judiciary ... to stay in power of course ...
Private sector is more effective than government?
Surprised. Not.
@@DeneMonkey
That requires money.
Presumably because he could not get a full-time position at NHS clinic.
We are not sick part time and we don’t need part time GPs !!
It's a free market economy. You can't force people to work more if they don't want.
Its the management who book GPs
@@farallimacha
You can if you enforce a buyer's market - for the public good in this case.
@@farallimacha YOU CAN SACK THEM !!!
@@taffyterrierYour solution to fix the NHS is to first sack all the doctors?
Not only do eastern European countries not have the NHS they also don't have massive immigration.
It should go back to the purpose for which it was set up; life-saving healthcare. No pinning back sticking out ears, no putting right cosmetic surgery done abroad, no gastric surgery ... support for weight-loss, yes, no IVF, theatres working 6 days per week. I worked in the NHS for five years so am not clueless.
Some years ago, politicians filled hospitals with non-medical 'managers' and time keepers. Since then, the hospitals have taken on all the DEI managers and, probably, staff.
Consultants need to be working for nhs. Not private as well. No wonder the waiting list not going down
Canada's socialized healthcare has similar problems to the UK and many Canadians cross the border to get care.
my doctor daughter left the NHS because she was fed up with spending half a time writing letters, arranging discharges, finding beds, coordinating with other medics and much more when the staff existed whose job was to do this but they either didn't do it, did it too late or did it badly. So the NHS could manage with half the doctors they have if their administrative staff worked properly.
There are two kinds of healthcare systems generally, The inefficient public NHS type or the expensive profiteering type system.
A relative who works as a sports coach had an incident with a young lad who dislocated his knee. Ambulance wait was estimated at 8 hours, this was last week.
Pathetic.
The Blair contract for doctors should be abolished. They must commit to weekend and evening visit in the community work on a rotational basis. It worked before and will alleviate A and E visits.
When my daughter was born she was really poorly and there was 4 doctors and I couldn’t understand a word any of them said they all spoke different languages, I had to find a nurse to find out what wrong. They didn’t want to give her a lifesaving drug because it costs a grand so I offered to pay for it and shamed them
Doctors earn fortunes. The rest of population have to choose between heating and eating.
Lol what look at the pay and taxes
May be you should have studied when you were younger.
CORRECTION: Doctors are paid fortunes.
@@chiragshetty4608 that is not how it works. In most countries you can just become a doctor if you have money.
Nurses need to stop working part-time then working the rest of the WEEK for an agency sucking money from the NHS.
Who began allowing the NHS to employ agency nurses and doctors?
It should never have started.
Nursing is a job, same as any other job, they can decide to work part time, same as any other employee, you can't force someone t work full time, it not nurses fault that hispital managers can't manage their staff..if they treated nurses a bit better, they mite hold onto more staff
My wife works in the local hospital and they get agency HCAs and Nurses. They don't know the working routines, they cant log in to the monitoring systems, the staff have to stop what they are doing and input the data for them. They cant do the drug rounds, or they say "I'm not trained to do that".
By the time they get a handle on how the Ward, A&E ICU works etc, Shift over. £ 200 please. Heaven forbid they work a Bank Holiday. The amount they are paid is eye watering.
All UK public services and the NHS in particular has a managerial layer that considers it legitimate to create roles for subordinates, to do the jobs they were supposed to do themselves. There are hundreds of vestigial managers who just manage managers, the practicals of which basically involves sending half a dozen emails every day.
They do work full time, its just they have to accept so many HNS patients for tax reasons, the rest of the time, and during their 2 hour 'lunch breaks' they are seeing private patients who pay cash.
They see NHS patients as scroungers.
‘2 hour lunch break’ whilst doing referrals or a MDT/clinical meeting
Good luck with this my husband and I sign with a new dr because we changed address that was in 2020 since then my husband needed a dr because he could not breath he got a appointment for next day to see the Nurse she said he had COPD NOW 3 yrs later still have not seen a GP so why don’t we get rid of the GPS and put fully trained nurse who can do the same as GP. That would save theNHS billions
Getting rid of GPs as your solution to the NHS, marvellous! 😂
Its all done on your mobile phone today😡😡 you want an appointment...ring between 8am 9am..you cant get through because all the allocated appointments have gone, then your told to go on to the surgery app to book for bloods ect😡 some elderly people dont have computers or smart phones , or would even know how to use the gps apps😡..it seems they just want the older population to die...as for working 3 days...some pensioners are still working, some full time🤷♀️ doctors should feel ashamed of themselves, if you dont like the hours then you shouldn't become a gp 🤷♀️
Elderly mum was told to stand out in the rain until the doors opened at 8 am. There were 12 people queued in front of her and it was only 7.30!!
I have to ask, where are we going to find more doctors to work all those lost hours if doctors only work a full week of 40 hours? cutting down to like 40 hours would result in a loss of many hours in some cases of 60%.
does JHB think that everyone watching is stupid or something?
Full-time GP hours, it takes £500,000 to train a GP. Three quarters now work part-time. Make them commit to full-time work for the NHS, or they can repay training fees back dependent on the hours they don't do.
We don't train enough Doctors because there is a cap been put on how many we can train a year . Why ?
We already train too many which has resulted in doctors of lower quality.
Because there’s not enough space in a hospital to have 1000 medical students from one university on the wards at the same time. They wouldn’t get adequate bedside teaching/training or supervision
if they take the single allowance off me i am done. its all that is helping me. they all screamed about the poll tax but when you consider it every adult paid poll tax in a house, really what is the difference. why should i pay the same council tax as someone with 4 adults living in the house, thats why we get the single tax allowance.
Pathetic system.
Im ex nhs finance and the worst bit was nurse managers and budgets they weren’t qualified to control spending, that and waste
I laugh when when I remember about the silly and childish banging pots and pans for the NHS during the flu outbreak.. Then the slogan save the NHS but the NHS exists to save the public.
GPs are paid too much so they don't have to work full time, simples.
We should stop doing cosmetic procedures on the NHS. Every year the NHS are doing gastric bands, breast augmentation etc. They wont do cosmetic work in NHS dentists why do it in hospitals. You can lose weight through diet and excercise. It would be much cheaper to give those people a meal plan and a free gym membership. The problem is we dont see that health is the answer to a lot of the medical issues in society. In medicine we are just supressing symptoms instead of dealing with the root causes same as the prisons and everything else.
Julia ... julia they can't work full time , they need those days off so they can go work in private sector were the money is
NHS salaries are among the highest in Europe.
7 day week will see all the doctors “burned out”, it’s crazy.
@@collier8931 People get ill 7 days a week. Individual doctors would only be required to work a 5 day week - have you not heard of “shifts”?
@@taffyterrier Are you thick, I meant Doctors working5 days per week on shifts,just like the rest of us.
@@collier8931 If the rest of us can manage working 5 days per week on shifts, why should doctors be excused?
The Poll tax was much fairer than the present tax.
Five seven hour days seems fair. After all the wealth and economy of a Country doesn't grow on leisure time.
Part of this is the fact that over 50% of medical students are women, which I applaud, but it means that once they have children are forever part time workers. The women I went to school with who became doctors, worked evenings weekends, and visited patients at home, the teachers also worked these hours, and they all had children.Public service is no longer a vocation, it's jobs for middle class women who want an easy life !!!!
The entry requirements for medical school have been relaxed to enable more women to become doctors. Previously girls tended to struggle with A-level maths and physics so easier subjects became permissible.
Maybe if their husbands or partners helped more with childcare, housekeeping they could work more, but its all just expected that the mother will do it, but blaming female doctors just cos they carry the childcare burden is out of order
@@siobhanmallen3543 If they only want to work part time they should do something else.
Most of them do work full-time, the issue is they split it between NHS and private ....
My wife is a doctor (hospital consultant not gp). She is currently down to a 3 day week (2 full days and two half days) for which she receives a 6 figure salary plus all the abundant annual leave and pension benefits of the NHS. She is not at all unusual amongst her cohort. However, earlier in her career she did work long hours as was the norm back in the day. Nowadays, even the junior consultants have little interest in a 5 day week.
NHS consultants are among the highest paid in Europe but provide one of the worst services in Europe. British taxpayers are getting poor value for money.
You don’t like your wife then ?
Poll tax would not have been a problem if it was the same amount for every individual in the country. For my sins I lived in Harringay when poll tax came out and was paying £570 a year (the highest in the country) whereas in Westminster they were paying £40 per year. Clearly incredibly unfair. If they made everyone in the country pay £100 a year that would have been fair. Just how Denmark does it in fact. They don't have a tax paid directly to the local government, they pay it to the national government. Then the national government gives each region a payment for local services per head of population in that region.
GP on here the other day said he sees patients every other day otherwise he would face burn out
Clearly many don’t understand the stress doctors are under, if they did full time then many will go off sick due to the stress
Try being poor.
The new dumbed down entitled breed will go off sick.
The old school, dedicated doctors had more stamina.
@DeneMonkey You seem like the kind of person to send money to Nigerian prince based off an email
B S.
22 billion black hole? Ha, the NHS black hole would swallow that without a burp!
Hospitals work 24/7 why not the local Doctors. They keep saying back log, not just Doctors how about the courts.
an element of government culture and there's worse.......good luck
I love how Keir Starmer calls it his "10 year plan". Keir, there is more chance of Elvis Presely crash landing a UFO on the Loch Ness monsters head, than you managing 10 years in power!
2 Tier Stalin to be reform the NHS to make it better to help the sick, and yet he couldn't careless about the 3500+ pensioners who could die this winter.
That awful, awful milk, left out in the Australian heat, the milk was horribly warm and sometimes borderline off. Not the best memory of primary school.
Starmer Starmer the old people harmer
why was money given to nhs used to facilitate shops for costa coffee - wh smith etc aND CAR PARK CONTRACTS -
GPs need to work full-time? Says the person who just talks s**t on the TV. She obviously doesn't know how demanding the job is.
Trouble is past Liebour governments gave them massive pay rises so their part time income is more than enough to live on, particularly as a female with a full time working husband/partner.
These pensioners have kids and grandkids that hopefully won’t vote Labour again or vote against Labour when voting the first time.
The young will vote Labour, they don’t realise just how crap they’ve ALWAYS BEEN.
How about Kier Starmer OAP harmer!?!😂
This is the change you complied with 4 and half years ago
15 hours wait for a dr three days begging for correct drugs to make me stop vomiting by this time been vomiting almost a week blood coming knowing the treatment I needed the drugs they needed to give as I have a chronic illness usually takes two days in hospital by the Thursday my potassium was dangerously low ended up I. High dependency that whole experience could have been prevented but they have changed the pharmaceutical rules oral morphine now and again for level ten pain 😮never seen anything like it was am most like they were running out of meds 😂after 8 days they let me home with a four day course of potassium they made me sicker! Had these flare ups before so know something ain’t right here. 6 hours to wait for my prescription also o get home they are dirty and the way elderly people treated just awful on a high dependency ward I am on five drips having to help my wee lady next to me as she also being sick no nurses then they gave her I trouble for not pressing buzzer how is a lady with limited mobility deaf and sick supposed to call someone if your sick and you can’t wait I had run ins with many drs and nurses treat the elderly like they are stupid they talk over them and around them o could go on for hours at my latest experience in NHS . Nothing like an overweight nurse shame me for being to thin yeh hun that happens when you can’t eat and vomiting happens if you do no sympathy what so every. I think I will write it all down because I am in disbelief also the number who can’t speak English and the rough handling of the elderly if you are in Scotland and sick don’t go to RAH, felt like it was something out of mad max!
Je suis là les animaux
How many hours do you work
Who are you asking ?
Those spouting on Talk tv who are saying nhs workers should work longer hours
@@michealchesworth3817 WHATABOUTERY ALERT !!!

Why do they ? I wouldn’t want to deal with sick people all week long 🤒 🤢🤮😷🤧🤕 for a big salary , those GPs are entitled to work part time for their own well being and work life balance. Hospitals are sick buildings - horrible places . ..no thanks . Choose life .
