GP access is the biggest issue facing patients in the NHS. Cogora’s latest white paper covers the issue in a way it has never been covered. While access is usually and understandably seen from the point of view of patients, this white paper uses Cogora’s unmatched reach of primary care professionals to produce a comprehensive, in-depth look into it from the standpoint of those dealing with the issue of a day-to-day basis – general practice staff.
We have surveyed more than 2,000 primary care professionals, conducted interviews with more than 100 and analysed more than 20 sets of data on every practice in England to develop a series of recommendations on how we can solve the problems around access.
The report asks what access is, looking at all the various forms, from waiting times, to appointments with GPs, to face-to-face consultations and being able to contact the practice through the phone or online. It looks into what patients prioritise around access, and what general practice staff see as most important.
