I'm a GP. Any questions about my job?

I’m waiting for DrBubbles receptionist to come on a very rudely tell us not to waste the doctors time.

Genuine question, not meant to sound shitty but the situation is quite frustrating.

Gp's have been given their first and second vaccines despite doing most of their appointments over the phone.
My husband is a dentist so all face to face appointments, literally inside people's mouths and had to fight to get his first vaccine and NHS England have given no indication of when his second may be.
Why is that?

I think the OP has -

a) Signed themselves off for 7 days
b) Cannot read their writing in their Internet Address and Password Book
c) Found the wining ticket for last Friday's £182 Euromillions
d) Has bitten off more than they can chew with this thread and has more important things to do.

@Houseofvelour

GPs have most certainly not all been given both doses of the vaccine yet

Currently telephone appointments are the norm but many GPs are doing face to face appointments when deemed clinically necessary

Also, some work out of hours which can involve lots of home visits, plus wonder who is giving the actual jabs in the clinics...yes GPs

Do you have your own GP? If so ,what is it like being a patient with them ?

Gps can’t prescribe themselves anything it’s illegal so they’ll have their own doctor just like us.

Shame they’ve not come back though.
