@mikey0callaghan Niamh Cahill Duffy GPWorkloadStudy David Brennan Time Doctor The British Journal of General Practice + a big thank you to the support from GPBuddy , nationalgpforum.com and the Twitter twitterati without whom we would never have successfully recruited such a nationally representative GP population for the Real-time measurement of GP Workload Study bjgp.org/content/early/…

This is brilliant work. We finally have some good data on GP workload - the major source of healthcare contacts in Ireland. #resourceGP

Time Doctor We are hoping that Apps such as Time Doctor will be recognised as an important tool to easily,reliably & quickly measure healthcare activity from a providers perspective on a large scale Thank you to The British Journal of General Practice for promoting a novel concept led by B Crosbie GPWorkloadStudy

👇a thread on a superb piece of work by Brendan Crosbie et al on real-time tracking and quantifying of GP activity. Definitely a first and it addresses a massive information vacuum in Department of Health & HSE Ireland in relation to the 20million+ consultations annually in GP

A Day in the Life #GPworkloadstudy: GP Partner To reflect our realtime method of measuring GP workload we will post some of our study's findings in realtime today Today we look at the GP Partner demographic-11.7% of whom have already started work by now bjgp.org/content/early/…

A Day in the Life #GPworkloadstudy: GP Partner 10am and the GP partner demographic are settling into an average 10.2hr working day....a figure than does not include break-time or any out of hours activity...they are only getting started! bjgp.org/content/early/…

A Day in the Life #GPworkloadstudy: GP Partner Midday: GP Partners are most likely in clinical consultation right now. They will spend an average of 6.4hrs a day seeing patients face-to-face (not including teleconsults). bjgp.org/content/early/… (Data was recorded pre-covid)

A Day in the Life #GPworkloadstudy: GP Partner 3pm: GP Partners are on their way to seeing an average of 26 patients per day. They will spend an average of 14m36s on each consultation in line with Royal College of General Practitioners recommendations bjgp.org/content/early/… (Data was recorded pre-covid)

A Day in the Life #GPworkloadstudy: GP Partner 5pm: nearly time to start the clinical paperwork. GP Partners spend an average of 1.7hrs on this a day. Reviewing results of investigations, clinic letters, discharge summaries etc...it all takes time! bjgp.org/content/early/…

A Day in the Life #GPworkloadstudy: GP Partner Nearly time for home? Not quite - 60.1% of GP Partners are still working after 6pm. At least they'll miss the traffic🤔 bjgp.org/content/early/…

A Day in the Life #GPworkloadstudy: GP Partner 20.1% of GP Partners are still working now. Perhaps they are fitting in a house call around now - they spend an average of 20minutes a day on house calls. bjgp.org/content/early/…

A Day in the Life #GPworkloadstudy: GP Partner 10pm....7.9% of GP Partners are still working. There is 0.6hrs of administrative work to get done before the days out. Let's hope no-one is waiting up for a bedtime story😬 bjgp.org/content/early/…

GPWorkloadStudy Doing this GP workload study made me realise the unsustainable hours I work in the surgery. I was spending a minimum of 2 hours daily returning patient calls about blood and xray results. I learnt to delegate this role and reduced my return calls by 50% #evidencebringschange

A Day in the Life #GPworkloadstudy: GP Partner It has been a long day and counting for the 3.5% of GP Partners still working after 11pm. Remember this does not include out of hours activity. It all starts again in a few hours... bjgp.org/content/early/…
