Area of Science:

General Practice
Health Services Research
Patient Experience

Background:

General practice (GP) accessibility is crucial for timely healthcare.
Current GP opening hours may not align with all patient needs and schedules.
Patient convenience and access to care are key indicators of healthcare quality.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate patient attitudes towards current general practice opening hours.
To gather evidence on the demand for extended GP surgery times.
To identify how extending opening hours could improve patient convenience and healthcare access.

Main Methods:

A survey was conducted among patients to gauge their opinions on GP opening hours.
Data was collected on patient preferences for appointment scheduling and accessibility.

Related Experiment Videos

Analysis focused on identifying patterns in patient demand for extended hours.

Main Results:

The survey provided strong evidence supporting the extension of GP surgery times.
Patients expressed a clear need for greater flexibility in accessing general practice services.
Extending hours was linked to improved patient convenience and meeting specific health requirements.

Conclusions:

Extending general practice opening hours is strongly supported by patient attitudes.
Adjusting surgery times can significantly enhance patient convenience.
Extended hours are essential for meeting diverse patient health needs effectively.
