Primary care

Just a reminder that the GP is your primary care provider. I forgot this when we were left bewildered by the hospital...secondary care .

I mistakenly thought that it was one step at a time .GP first , hospital 2nd .When the consultant said that they couldn't do anything , we didn't think to go back to the GP. So glad we were reminded that Primary care was more important now and they've been so very helpful and more person oriented. Seems hospital is for the disease , GP for the patient. That's been our experience and I know that we are extremely fortunate .

  • Hi Zillah,

    It's good to hear that your GP has been helpful. I hope you are getting on OK currently, and sorry that you haven't received a reply up to now.

    Hopefully you'll get some more replies, particularly if others who can relate or who have similar experience see your post.

    In the meantime I hope that the forum can continue to be helpful for you.

    Wishing you all the best,
