Yep know what you mean Admin been there, done that, got the T-shirt aswell. Really demoralising when GPs don't seem to understand that I'm trying to reinforce their message to their patients. Not trying to cut across their bows.
Interesting point. Got snidey response from a couple of practice managers who work for health centre with a downer on their in-situ pharmacy. Apparantly they think the money for an MUR follows the patient and when a pharmacy does one then we are taking money away from the GP's pot. All this despite sending out letters to explain why we are doing MURs in the first place and what our aims are - to empower patient with better understanding and motivation to take their fricking tablets in the first place.
incidently the 800 MURs have been spread over 6 shops doing on average 2 days per week of MURs.
