My local ADHD clinic has an *8-PAGE* referral form that needs to be completed (along with a referral letter and the results of an ADHD questionnaire) before a referral will be accepted for review. How can all this work be done in a typical 10-15 minute GP consultation?

Why it might be hard to see a GP
27000 total - 1900 fewer than 2010
130000 Hospital Drs - 29000 more than 2010
7% increase in population
15% increase in the number of patients per GP

Delighted to have co-authored this commentary with @ChristineSinsky
Relationship-based medicine produces better care and cheaper care. It also enhances both physician and patient satisfaction.
We need all of these.
Time to prioritise relationships ahead of transactions
High cost of broken relationships w/one's PCP: āQ, ācosts. Our rec's:
(1) prioritize enduring relationships with patients and
within teams;
(2) push more decision authority to the physicians closest to patients

How can you deliver a two week appointment guarantee without increasing capacity? Itās not more targets the NHS needs but more doctors, as I said today.

Only a plan that fixes this would come anywhere near a solution.
