Talking to a GP, I asked him how the practice would cope if one of their 5 GP partners was off work ill for a while.
As you’d expect, he said that, for a few weeks, they’d rally round to cover their colleague’s sessions. In such a large practice, that’s certainly feasible for a period and we talked about how long they’d be able to rally round and what toll this would have on doctors who were already fully committed.
