Agree - at a previous practice our patient participation group got through
hours of tea, biccies and staff time - not at all cheap. Took years off my
practice managers life expectancy too.
Been *very* cautious about revisiting that scenario in these days of
consumerism.
Ever more patients who are too busy to take time from work to come to the Dr
!!
Thinking of starting a 24 hr drive in service to keep up with the sterling
example that Tescos gives the NHS. Went in to Tescos at 2am as a detour from
a Healthcall shift, must have been 100 people in there !!
Still it will be nurse practitioners at the sharp end by then on 20k/year
