Primary Care Campaign
Humberside LMC have created a great campaign which shows the consequences of abuse in Primary Care, which they have shared with LMCs across the Country to use, thanks to Humberside LMC.
A campaign has been launched to help tackle a rise in abusive behaviour towards healthcare workers in primary care.
Primary care refers to general practice, community pharmacy, dental, and optometry (eye health) services which are sometimes described to act as the ‘front door’ of the NHS.
Research shows that increased pressures on primary services paired with modified ways of working made necessary due to COVID-19 have led to increased demand in services. Data published by NHS Digital shows a 3.5m increase in the number of general practice appointments provided during June this year compared to June 2019 (26.7m compared to 23.2m), with an additional 4m COVID vaccination appointments delivered on top of that.
