Private GP is coming near you: Bluecrest is national

This week a flyer arrived in my post box. Bluecrest is focussing on screening for the worried well, and given that most GP consultation involve explanation and reassurance, and rarely follow up, and that these are not available without a long wait, the company is likely to be very profitable.
Just like dentistry, General Practice is going private. Its slower than Dental Surgery, but it has started.
In wales there is the complication of distance, and althougn a local hotel will provide nurse led screening, the doubt will only be addressed by a distant consultation in a city (like Swansea or Cardiff). Travel 100 miles to see your private GP, and get reassurance! We also have no “choice” and patients seen privately have to either complete the investigations and treatment privately, or move to the bottom of the Welsh Health Service waiting lists.
Lesson? Think of the options and their implications. Those with family options may move to family in England.
