Does anyone think it would be worthwhile seeking opinions as to the factors
contributing to the low morale of (most) GPs?>>
My thoughts:-
1. Inadequate pay.Our work need to be priced up in a different way, asking for
a 10% pay rise is not going to work, it never does.
2.24 hour responsibility. Out of hours payment per annum is
2,000ukp/annum/principal - cheap at the price.
3. Inadequate time with too many patients - 10minutes(if that's what you
allow) is a joke.
4.No encouragement. When was the last time you were praised for your work?
5.Poor career structure. You can muddle through and 'develop' if you've got a
spare minute to think, and if you're not too preoccupied by the most recent
complaint about you not being superhuman.
