GPs are working an average of 26 hours a week, a study showing the decline of the family doctor has revealed. The contracted hours fulfilled by each fully qualified GP has fallen from 30 a week on average in 2016, to 26 a week in 2022, according to new analysis of NHS data. Dr Rosa Parisi, the study’s lead author from the University of Manchester, which conducted the research, suggested that GPs may be working less because they were “likely to be unwilling or unable to face more of the intense day-to-day pressures”. The study revealed that despite there being about 6 per cent more GPs in 2022 than there were in 2015, they were delivering 2.7 per cent fewer hours in total. This is despite an increase [Thanks to mass immigration] of almost 250 patients per GP, with each family doctor now responsible for 2,085 patients each on average. Researchers said the decrease in total working hours was down to a combination of family doctors retiring early, poor recruitment and retention and more GPs doing fewer hours. This is in spite of the fact that the NHS standard contract states a full-time week is 37.5 hours. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/09/17/gps-work-an-average-of-26-hours-a-week-study-finds/GP's are paid on average, between £70,000 and £100,000, for a 26 hour week! Nice work if you can get it. |

I’m not surprised. Looks like the GPs are following the rail workers model.

Nice work if you can get it. Some of the useless wankers are stating they will be burnt out if their hours exceed 26hrs per week........The idol fuckers should come with me and do a real job and they would see they are just taking the piss... |

I imagine golf clubs up and down the country would lose quite a bit of revenue if GP's had work more than 26 hours a week. |

Most GP's are not employed by the NHS - they are self employed and can choose their own hours. It's a bit of a stupid system considering the nationalised nature of the rest of the NHS - but you can blame Nye Bevan for that. |
