I have had a medical issue which has worsened during the pandemic and trying to see my GP has been hell.

All I get is telephone consultations with practice nurses and other NHS professionals. No sign of a GP getting involved in my treatment.

Well I for one would sack the lot of them (GPs) and put the money saved from thier salaries to better use within the NHS.

Practices nurses offer a better service than GPs, they can issue prescriptions, they work late and also weekends and dont have to google your symptoms to find the correct teatment!

Rant Over!!
Advanced Nurse Practitioners can issue prescriptions.

I don't know why they and the other nurses are OK to see patients but GPs can't, it smacks of arrogance; "they can be sacrificed but not us lot on £122,000 a year, we're too valuable".
