Remote GP appointments, whether conducted online or by video, have grown steadily in popularity in recent years. In August, one in 20 GP appointments in England was conducted remotely, the highest proportion since such records began. This trend reflects the rising demand for convenient and accessible healthcare options that meet the needs of both patients and doctors.

The vision of “bringing back the family doctor” is increasingly unlikely, as fewer patients will see GPs in the coming decade. A report by Frontier Economics predicts that by 2034, only 70% of surgery appointments in England will be delivered by GPs, down from 90% in 2015. Instead, patients will more often see other healthcare professionals, such as nurses, physiotherapists, or pharmacists.

We in the UK used to see the National Health Service (NHS) as a source of pride. It is now feels more like a source of danger. Leaked data suggest that, in one week in December, over 50,000 sick people in England waited more than 12 hours to be admitted to hospital from accident-and-emergency (A&E) departments. The Economist’s mortality model echoes the warnings from emergency doctors: around one in four excess deaths in recent months is attributable to delays in emergency care.

Each year brings new opportunities and new pressures for businesses. One of these will undoubtedly be supporting the health and wellbeing of employees in the workplace. This is especially true as the looming recession places many businesses under pressure to cut costs in areas such as HR, recruitment, and wellbeing. We have already seen reports that show four-in-ten SMEs (38%) are “just about breaking even” and insolvency rates hitting 13-year record highs in Q2 of 2022.
