Inaccurate reporting alert 🚨... Important to understand differences between GPs and hospital docs here i.e. We do all our own clinical follow up... 1/7 independent.ie/irish-news/one…

It’s no coincidence that many young doctors planning to start families gravitate towards the only medical specialty where less-than-full-time work is in any way feasible. (2/2)
Great points above (in my case I go into work for a few hours most weekends to catch up on admin); but also important to remember that part-time working is a valid choice, and is particularly important as an option for parents of young children. (1/2)
Great to get an opportunity to talk about health worker recruitment and retention earlier today rte.ie/radio/radio1/c… #DrRetention
GP medicine has been transformed & become more complex (&interesting) in recent years. As well as increased follow up of tests and referrals and bureaucracy we have a heavy CPD load just to keep up to date. CPD is always out of hours or weekends.
I do 6 hours per day patient facing but another 3-4 per day doing forms, results, letters, referrals, prescriptions etc. People don’t take this into account. Its exhausting
That's a fact Martin 👍🏻
One hour admin for every 2 hours seeing patients. Usually done after hours.
Spot on Máire x.com/mike0callaghan…
If a GP spends 30 hours a week seeing patients, they’re then also doing another 10-20 hours on admin, follow ups, letters and more. No doctor shortage will ever be fixed in this country until people face up to the fact that they need to be treated better. independent.ie/irish-news/one…
The hours referenced in this article relate to ‘direct patient care’. Each two hours of patient contact in GP generates an hour of paperwork (referrals, following results, actioning results, following up with patient). Headline is deliberately misleading/clickbaiting
