“That’s Why Healthcare Is In CRISIS!” Former NHS GP Admits Doctors Don’t Want To Work Full Time

They aren’t burnt out.They’re moonlighting to private health care.

I remember when doctors used to do house calls !!!!!

I am a GP and willing to work 10 sessions, meaning 5 days a week, and no GP surgeries would hire me as they do not have money to pay me working 5 days a week. It is not that GPs do not want to work more days , it is that surgeries do not have money to hire them for 5 days. This is the problem. The GP in this video is not up-to-date with the current situation and he is doing us, GPs looking for jobs, a major disfavor by saying we do not want to work. I have put at least 30 applications for salaried GPs and could not get a job. I want to work 5 full days a week and no GP surgery has offered me a job. They only offer 2, max 3 days a week as they cannot pay for more. Instead, GP surgeries hire ... Physicians Associates, which are not doctors, and they are hired instead of GPs. We cannot get jobs as surgeries hire PAs, non doctors, to work as GPs.This is the situation !

They too busy treating private patients using NHS hospitals and equipment,its disgusting .private patients should have their own drs own equip,ent and own hospitals.This has been going on for years it must stop

Why is no one talking about the GP's being sacked and replaced by less qualified physician associates

Year's ago this would never happen doctor's were far more dedicated..

There are to many uninvited people here. The whole infer structure cannot cope with the volume of invaders. We have the Government and the invaders to thank for the mess we are in.

Shameful. No longer a commitment. Wrong people in the job.

'I'm special. I'm a Doctor!' It's a job, so get out of bed and get it done properly. Much like the rest of us.

Well done Talk TV for highlighting this : Three day week . Please don't drop this hot potato .

GP practices are privately owned, so who owns them?

The only people working in our surgery are the nurses

Try 12 hours shifts in a factory for 40 years, and on your feet for the entire shift, i was constantly knackered

A good example of the Me Me society of today. There is no commitment to the organisation or patients

The GP who owns my local surgery teaches one day a week, runs his islamic centre another two days a week and does his GP practice the other two days. The NHS isn't broken, its completely failed at this stage.

They must earn enough money from their one, two or three days to live a good lifestyle or they would feel the urge to come in more....what happened to going in to medicine to help people..?

Vastly overpaid and privileged with no conscience at all.

Full time working for a GP equates to over £100,000 a year. If part time working may bring in £50,000 a year, that's more than the majority of the population will ever have a chance to earn in a year.

my wife is 35, has kidney failure and is on dialysis, diabetes, heart failure, blood pressure issues (the list really could do on).... went to A&E a couple days ago with pain in her side, after a few hours waiting a doctor listened to her chest to find she has fluid on the lungs one side... after discovering this she was then left to sit in A&E for 13 hours without anybody saying anything to her. In the end she simply had to leave and discharge herself, sitting in blistering heat sweating, hungry, barely able to stay sat up anymore. As valuable as the NHS is to us as a family its simply not fit for purpose. We have to just hope now her dialysis treatment will be more aggressive to draw that fluid off her lung and help her feel better because we simply cant get seen in any reasonable time.

This is rubbish, As a GP I used to work 9 sessions a week for the last 15 years + working weekends doing minor surgery lists. The Surgery I was working with for 10 years terminated my contract and I'm out of work and there are so many GPs out of work as the NHS is replacing GPs with physician associates who are cheaper. I'm fully committed and even ready to do night shifts, but there is no work, as GPs are being replaced by unqualified staff.
