| Annotation | 'Developing general practice, listening to patients' is a nationwide consultation by the British Medical Association (BMA), which invites comments on the subject from patient groups. The main points Age Concern and Help the Aged make about general practitioners (GPs) relate to: providing good clinical advice and support; commissioning a wide range of care and support services; and combating health inequalities. GP services must be arranged in ways which meet older people's needs and preferences. Older people want to be able to the GP they know and trust, to have an appointment that is convenient to them, and to be seen at home when it is difficult to get to the surgery. (RH). |
