If you're not getting one, you don't need one. Its not difficult. Yeah In some practices but not all - So not difficult but no continuity of Isle of Man GP Services!

If you're not getting one, you don't need one. Its not difficult. That’s a particularly simple-minded conclusion. Triage is, of course an important element of making and prioritising appointments, but the expertise of the person triaging and the ability of the patient to describe symptoms is also very important. If the system employed gets that wrong or leads to long delays in getting the patient in front of a Doctor, this could have negative consequences for patient health. Rules may be standard but implementation can vary dramatically. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Two-lane 210 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 If this is being done because of covid19 (rather than for general efficiency reasons) it makes sense only if the staff who apply these rules and restrictions within the practice continue to do so in their private lives outside the practice.

All Right 50 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 On 11/24/2020 at 10:01 AM, Last Ten said: Which just goes to show they are all differing in there appointment system. It seems to be down to willingness. It seems that a bit like teachers some doctors and practices have seen covid and the DHSC guidance as a good excuse for doing a lot less than usual for as long as possible. Others seem to have accepted that there isn’t any community covid in the IOM so as long as they follow guidance loosely it’s better from a service point of view. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry - but that's a really terrible impression / impersonation of Mad Uncle Ronnie. Worse than Mike Yarwood's. Worse than Rory Bremner's. Worse even than Jon Culshaw's. Can you do Frank Spencer?
