'Patients save up problems for a GP appointment'
Dr Jo Warcaba says she often runs over her appointment times so she can deal with more than one ailmentThe NHS is under increasing pressure and GPs say they are seeing those issues on a daily basis.
Dr Jo Warcaba is one of the GPs at the surgery and says the pressure on GPs is "an ever-increasing problem because we've got an ageing population". "You've got to do it well, [when] patients come in they've saved up their problems because they haven't been able to get an appointment."If you miss that opportunity then quite often they're coming back again and again."Wendy Ward, Moulton surgery's practice manager, says despite the increasing number of patients appointments are still available
"There is so much we do, [seeing] people with different health concerns [and] dealing with them in different manners," she says."It's about us having the right people on board delivering different services," she says.She says it only has eight clinical rooms, meaning it is "difficult" to offer all the services the surgery wants to.
"Inevitably we need to not spend as much time with everyone as we normally would, you just try to provide the best possible service you can in the limited time you have," he says.Team leader for administration and reception Fiona Linham says patients do not always need to see a GP
