I fail to understand how, when she was 25+ years(?) as a GP, she managed to find time to be a medical director for a NHS authority at the same time. How's that work when she has no front line experience with the emergency services? I wait to be educated by Wrighty at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the Dr’s will only work part time so won’t be available some days/slots. Others will run specific clinics on certain dates/times so won’t be available some days/slots. Others may be on holiday or undergoing training so won’t be available some days/slots. Some slots are held back for the morning phone lottery.

There was only one doctor available for each surgery location. And in both instances the only available times were mornings.

Would be interesting to know how they manage their diary for when you have to call because nothing that is offered online works for the patient.
