I will give a bit of lived experience. I have been at the same GP practice for 25 years. I have never seen the same GP. I have seen locums, temporary staff and physician associates, who I thought were GPs but found out afterwards were not. You might think that is no problem at all, but they had no familiarity with my conditions. In many instances, I have had to say, “Would you please read my notes?”, as they looked elsewhere. The consequence of this has been missed diagnosis and no positive, reasonable interventions in serious conditions. That is what life is like for many people.
