Choreographing Triage
This paper explores the altered landscape of primary care following the accelerated process of implementing digitally enabled triage across UK general practice in response to COVID‐19. Traditional understandings of triage are based on a static ‘pile sorting’ logic, which suggests that triage outcomes depend upon a single decision in time and space. With the introduction of remote, asynchronous and distributed decision‐making, triage needs a more …
Employment models for general practitioners in england
BACKGROUND: Recruitment and retention of General Practitioners (GPs) is a global challenge in primary care. Traditionally, GPs in the UK have worked as self-employed partners. However, policy changes in England have allowed for salaried GP positions within primary care partnerships. The effects of these different employment models on recruitment and retention remain unclear. OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the impact of partnership vs. salarie…
The hidden work of general practitioners
High quality primary care is a foundational element of effective health services. Internationally, primary care physicians (general practitioners (GPs), family doctors) are experiencing significant workload pressures. How non-patient-facing work contributes to these pressures and what constitutes this work is poorly understood and often unrecognised and undervalued by patients, policy makers, and even clinicians engaged in it. This paper examines…
Unpromising Futures
Over the past few decades, the intensification and reorganisation of work have led to growing precarity, insecurity and uncertainty for employees, affecting even professionals tied to traditionally model employers. Doctors, in particular, have seen substantial changes to their work: having to work harder, longer and more intensely with reductions in expected autonomy, deference and respect. This article focuses on how early-career GPs make sense …
Investigating the links between diagnostic uncertainty, emotional exhaustion, and turnover intention in General Practitioners working in the United Kingdom
Diagnostic uncertainty may not only negatively impact on the wellbeing of GPs, but could also have adverse implications on workforce retention in primary care
Skill-mix change and outcomes in primary care
Introduction of new roles to support GPs does not have straightforward effects on quality or patient satisfaction. Problems can arise from the complex adaptation required to adjust practice organisation and from the novelty of these roles to patients. These findings suggest caution over the implementation of policies encouraging more employment of different professionals in primary care
