'Impeccable care is delivered right to our doorstep'

Family doctors are important - familiarity matters.

'patients who had kept the same family doctor for more than 15 years had a 25 per cent lower chance of dying in 2018, compared to those with a GP relationship lasting a year or less.'

A patient seeing the same doctor can significantly reduce a doctor's workload.

'translate to an estimated 5% reduction in consultations'

It benefits the patient, the doctor and wider society - this is a principle we should be looking to restore.

Doctorcall's onsite company doctors, through personal appointments and awareness events, have diagnosed a significant number of conditions over the last few months - often providing vital early diagnosis.

A worthy investment for companies putting employee wellbeing first.

Having to explain a medical issue to a different doctor on each visit consumes time, resource and effort.

It's frustrating and can lead to potential complications.

Having a 'family' doctor over the long term benefits all involved.

We should aim to restore that principle.

Very disruptive.

Dr Charles Levinson I have seen 5 different doctors over a year in my practice about the same problem. Having to go through the same narrative every time is a pain.
I did actually ask for a specific doctor every time but was denied.

Dr Charles Levinson Whole heartedly agree.

Building a relationship with a patient is important - that cannot happen if there is a different doctor for each visit.

Restoring the principle of the family doctor is vital to repairing primary care.

Trust and familiarity do matter, and benefit all involved.

Dr Charles Levinson Yes and the policy of one symptom/problem allowed to be discussed per appointment. I could not believe this !

This is really concerning - we should not underestimate the importance and value of a patient building a relationship with their doctor.

That cannot happen if they see a different face every time.

We are losing the art of medicine
