Prof Martin Marshall attacks ‘widespread vilification’ of family doctors amid row over face-to-face appointments
The leader of Britain’s GPs has condemned ministers’ “malicious criticism” and “vilification” of family doctors amid a furious backlash from the profession at government demands for them to increase face-to-face appointments.
GPs’ leaders warned that a “blueprint” to improve general practice would do little to relieve the intense pressure on surgeries and exacerbate the chronic shortage of family doctors by prompting even more to quit.
