    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Insufficient doctor staffing capacity for emergencies, clinical queries and home visits

    Wider context from the report

    “The evidence before the court was that, on the afternoon of 21st August 2018, there was only one doctor on duty for the practice as a whole. The evidence of the relevant clinician was that in addition to undertaking a (habitually) busy afternoon surgery, he was the only doctor available to deal with emergencies or clinical queries. In those circumstances and whilst the relevant clinician described his telephone call with the care home in terms of being a “triage” consultation, there was no resource in the practice for a home visit to be undertaken that afternoon even if considered indicated by the doctor. ”
