GPs who are permanent partners in a practice have around 2100 patients for whom they are directly responsible.
When we are going through the death of someone we love we feel as though it is happening just to us, whereas the truth is the GP will have been dealing with many patients with terminal illnesses and bereavements as well as new cancer diagnoses and more routine matters,
A large number of GPS have quit permanent practice because the workload and expectations are unsustainable. Many of them are now locums or have gone part-time because they can control the workload and the number of patients they deal with.
I think maybe your GP has decided to do this and your family was not one of the cases that she elected to retain. Have you asked if she is still your GP or whether you have been reallocated?
