Petition Action

Re-open doctors surgeries fully, to enable patients to be seen by GPs

Petition Details

Issue an instruction to all the General Practitioners in England to resume surgeries and provide face to face consultations immediately

Additional Information

The fundamental part of being a GP is to provide a physical examination to make an informed diagnosis. With the continual lifting of restrictions allowing people to have personal contact (eg dentists/hairdressers) then it is imperative that we are now allowed to physically see our GP. Patients can find it extremely difficult to convey their symptoms via telephone & lots of older/vulnerable people find it difficult/unable to communicate via Zoom type consultations. We need to see our doctors
