Alex Maxwell Life story
The GP method, in which patients can share, appointments
The people in The Group "formed a Band" on their shared experiences
Faced with a waiting time for a GP appointment, you would instead choose a group session with The Doctor ? It is an idea to investigate some of the operations.
the demand for appointments is always availability outweighs. In recent years, The Number of GP appointments by 13% increased, But the GP-numbers are less than 5%, putting strong Pressure on operations.
In addition, many of us are living longer and with multiple long term conditions, the consultations are extremely complex.
The traditional one-to-one 10-minute appointment is probably not fit for the purpose.
With no promise of increasing the funds, or a significantly increased GP workforce, Primary Care teams need to improve new, innovative ways for the implementation of routine care in General practice, That you save at the same time and the quality.
such A practice Parchmore Medical Centre " in Thornton Heath, Surrey.
Anthony is a patient there. He says: "I have passed the magic age of 50, and got a call from the GP. I have some weight problems and some blood Pressure problems, so it's time to Do Something . "
He had an appointment - But with a difference. Instead of the usual 10 Minutes , he was going to an hour-and-a-half with his GP.
But he would not see The Doctor alone, he would share his appointment with six other patients.
"no-one felt the need to keep'you all have weight problems and/or pre-diabetes. There were seven present at this particular consultation, But as many as 15 can participate.
The Session began with a Doctor 's assistant - the "mediator" - collection of patient measurements and the creation of a list of questions, the questions you wanted to The Doctor .
Dr. Williams is part of Bbc Two 's Trust Me I'm a Doctor -teamThe Test Results , including body mass index (BMI), body measurements and blood Pressure were then written on a Board in The Room , so That GP, Dr. Alex Maxwell was able to lead a discussion to you.
The Group also spoke about sensitive issues such as bowel problems, their relationship with food and your mental well-being.
the goal of meetings such as this, to give the patient more information about their condition, because they learn from The Doctor and each other as well as the use of the position of the GP time-efficient.
Anthony says it is not bothersome, there are other people in The Room have. "In fact, it was quite the opposite - as soon as The Group was on the way, we formed almost a bit of a bond with it, and everyone was, quite frankly, I think That someone felt the need to Hold Back at all. "
Other patients, said The Group session meant more time with the GP as a one-to-one appointment would allow, and to enable the exchange of experience with others with the same condition could.
But there are obvious fears. This could be the thin end of The Wedge - the beginning of the end for the one-to-one appointment?
Peer-supportThe Royal College of GPs, and the patients' Association say That , while this type of model could work for some, the patients should still have the opportunity, from the traditional one-to-one appointment when you want it.
Dr. Emily Symington, of the NHS Croydon Clinical commissioning Group (CCG), which also said the Parchmore practice, there is No Plan to end the traditional dates.
"exchange the one-to-one appointment is certainly not something That we want or expect at all.
"a group-counseling is for patients who already have a diagnosis. to diagnose
"no one is ever you will be in a group - That would not be appropriate. Group consulting adds something Extra . "
she says, there are shared measures to ensure the confidentiality of information within The Group , and the patients who participate, upon request, continue to receive a one-to-one appointment.
But group dates could bring real benefits for the patients, the management of long-term health conditions - providing more access to your Doctor with a valuable peer-support network, including.
