Now many feel that as a result, they can not see their GP or practice team which is not true. At the time of this episode, it is worth knowing most practices are offering more appointments and contacts than pre-covid with demand outstripping the capacity in part because of years of underfunding and a limited workforce. In addition media stories that only highlight the difficulties and do not share the millions of patient contacts that happen in General Practice each month may give a biased opinion. Practices have changed the way they assess and see patients to protect the most clinically vulnerable patients and this is unlikely to change due to growing demand. Even before COVID increasing numbers of practices offered a telephone or online first system to make sure patients saw the right person for the right reason. Since COVId most practices now offer a telephone or online first system. This allowed the team to assess patients remotely and consider an effective way to assess patients.
