A Nottinghamshire GP with more than 30 years of experience has said the current challenges are the worst he has ever faced after his practice was rated 'inadequate' by inspectors. Dr Ian Campbell, a partner at the Jubilee Park Medical Partnership in Carlton, said he was 'hugely disappointed' with the findings of the inspection report but stressed that it was 'inextricably linked' to increasing pressures on its services.
The Nottinghamshire NHS healthcare system has been in a critical incident situation due to the demand on its services, a trend mirrored across many areas of the UK. Dr Campbell said this demand was resulting in 'immense pressure' at his practice in Burton Road.
"Every morning there's a queue from the front desk to the front door of patients waiting for treatment, which they deserve," he told Nottinghamshire Live. He said, due to A&E departments being 'overwhelmed', many more patients were trying to make appointments with GPs.
