Wyke Health Centre was very good early days since Lanehouse joined up.

I suggest one of the biggest challenges is balance. I can see the pressure our GP Practice is under- the excessive demands made on GPs, Nurses and others in the team. With the higher expectations that GP Practices provide the front line service to the general public, how can we ensure we can access a GP when needed? I've found GPs are having to delegate patients to others in the team ( not GPs) and in several situations this has created several phone calls; more time spent by the GP in phone consultations with the end result.....after four phone consultations- see the patient. By this time the illness is worse and recuperation takes longer. It's not the GPs' fault. Too much is expected without the resources to back it up.
