Does the 15 minute vs 10 minute split affect income for the individuals? Here: We book at 15 minutes for 6.5 hours a day - but see walk-ins and go to emerg on top top. Some days I drive for 4-5 hours and see up to 40 patients - but not infrequently, only 20 - there are no appointments on those days (actually, now often I get to do this by helicopter which helps considerably). We don't have QOF, or a complaints procedure, or appraisals, or re-validation, or audit (other than our billing can be audited), or any reporting to anyone. We don't have home visits. Just different and just an unscientific observation, docs _seem_ happier here.
