Patients deserve safe & quick access to their GP
Any economics student will explain if you need quick + safe, it won’t be cheap
But GP costs under £140 per pt per year - less than your pet insurance
Less than the cost of 🍎 a day!
& we know continuity of care saves lives

We lack the resources, capacity and capabilities to meet the needs of our patients if we can’t switch off online requests when we are full
Not to mention mandating we MUST contact the patient THAT SAME DAY no matter how many patients contact us 🤯

On average 88.9 submissions per 1,000 patients in August 2025
The range = 0 to 884.8 online consults, per day, per practice
Why do @NHSEngland @DHSCgovuk insist on treating all practices the same?
Why can’t we temporarily pause online when we are full?
This is not safe
