answer text <p>We recognise that missed appointments are a waste of National Health Service resources. We believe that encouraging patients to use the NHS sensibly and responsibly is the right approach and we are supportive of local schemes to highlight the number of missed appointments to their patients. However, it is ultimately a matter for the local NHS and primary care providers to decide how best to raise awareness and implement measures to reduce missed appointments.</p><p> </p><p>Primary care providers are encouraged to offer patients different ways to book appointments, send appointment reminders by text messages, and make it quick for patients to cancel or re-arrange appointments e.g. through the use of an online service.</p> more like this

answer text <p>We are tackling general practitioner (GP) workload by investing in the Releasing Time to Care Programme and expanding the skill mix in general practice. The Releasing Time for Care Programme is designed to help practices implement change to release time more quickly and sustainably. As of October 2017 a series of workshops have reached around 4,800 participants, and survey responses suggest that attending the workshop has had an immediate and substantial effect on practices’ optimism.</p><p> </p><p>We are widening the skills mix by investing in the wider general practice workforce in extra mental health therapists, clinical pharmacists, general practice nurse development, training of current reception and clerical staff, training of physician associates, pilots of new medical assistant roles, and practice manager development nationwide to free up valuable GP time.</p> more like this

The number of GP registrars working in general practice in the Vale of York Clinical Commissioning Group and NHS England North (Yorkshire and the Humber) in September 2017 is presented in the following table. This may not represent all trainee GPs in these regions as they do not spend the entirety of their training as a GP registrar working in general practice.

answer text <p>The York general practitioner (GP) specialty training scheme is well established, respected, evaluated and popular with those choosing to train to become GPs. It attracted higher than regional-average fill rates in the last round of GP recruitment. The scheme has three experienced training programme directors (TPD) that are responsible for the support and delivery of teaching and training for trainees at weekly group sessions, as well as the planning and delivery of training rotations in the area, and support for local GP trainers. The ratio of TPD sessions to trainees is higher than the average for Yorkshire and the Humber.</p><p> </p><p>The training scheme usually operates from postgraduate education centre at York District Hospital. There have been recent renovations to this facility and there is a current period of adaptation and re-organisation, which Health Education England is supporting locally, to make the facilities ideal for all parties.</p><p> </p><p>GP trainers are responsible for the day-to-day supervision of trainee GPs who are on placements in practices. In the year August 2016 to July 2017 there were 34 headcount GP trainers linked to the York GP Speciality Training Programme. Data held prior to this period is not comparable.</p>
