Investigation into provision of GP services to care homes has shown that most care homes allow residents to choose a GP. This can result in different GP’s visiting a single care home to see different patients This is an inefficient use of GP time and resources, but can also cause problems with communications as nursing homes have to deal simultaneously with several different systems for visits Chronic disease management and prescription requests many homes would prefer their residents to be registered with just one GP surgery and have a weekly ‘clinic’ to deal with minor problems and chronic illness.
