I can accept there's problems for GPs but I really don't think they have the sympathy or support that the Nurses and Junior Doctors have/had.

All I've seen from during and since the COVID pandemic and heard from many others is massive disappointment and anger with GP service.
There are areas I guess where it's better but the whole system of appointments and then even actually getting to be face to face with the GP has become a battle not routine and one more likely to be lost than won.

Canvassing during the election, I found from all but a small number,.
Big worries about the NHS, fury at the Junior Doctors being treated so shabbily by the then Con government.
However dismay too at their GP practices where they blamed the GPs more than the government.

I really think with going to pharmacists now, I doubt the GPs on what action they're taking here are not going to impact as much as they believe it will.
Plus it will only add to the massive disappointment their patients already hold as to them.
In probably the majority of areas.

I try to avoid going to the gp these days. I only go when they ask me to go really.

An older Lady
has a cataract in her right Eye
she was told to wait up to 3, years from her GP

She Phoned Ch5HD AM Live

Then the hospital phoned her for an offer of Ł500
to have her Eye done privately
Tomorrow.

She is angry
as she does not have that cash spare.

Labour needs to start funding our local GP's.

Never **** around with Medical services.

Well hopefully that's not the case.

I actually don't know of anyone in my area or friends and family around the Country.
Who have noticed any difference by this action, as to what GPs have been doing since the COVID pandemic anyhow.

They seemed to either come to a halt then and more going slow.
However have never improved since.

They used to be, but not anymore. Most GP practices are now bought and sold by large corporations.
