Length of personal continuity with a GP is strongly associated with lower acute hospital admissions and mortality. OOH = out-of-hours. OR = odds ratio. doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2…

🚨HVA GJØR DU HVIS FASTLEGEN DIN FORSVINNER? 🚨 Trenger du fastlegen din? RT denne posten! Måned for måned blir det færre og færre som fastleger i Norge. 134 000 nordmenn er nå uten fastlege. En økning på 10 000 på bare en måned.

Very honoured by this recognition!

See the The British Journal of General Practice papers referenced by Sir Jeremy Hunt MP to Sajid Javid: Continuity in general practice as predictor of mortality, acute hospitalisation, and use of out-of-hours care doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2… Continuity of GP care for patients with dementia doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2…

The academic evidence for continuity of care is startling: a 25% reduction in mortality rates and 30% reduction in emergency hospital admissions

The evidence is stark: continuity of care by GPs saves lives. So when will the government act? My question to Sajid Javid

We know seeing the same doctor over a long period of time saves lives, so will Steve Barclay restore continuity of care?

5/ Move back to the system where everyone has their own GP rather than just being attached to a surgery. A study showed a 25% cut in mortality & 30% drop in hospital visits for people who saw the same GP (keeping our promise to recruit 6000 more GPs will help achieve this).
