GPs to see patients in groups of 15

GPs to see patients in groups of 15 Patients will be expected to see their GPs in groups of up to 15 under plans being considered by the NHS.

Doctors said group consultations should become “the default” option 
 offered by surgeries for many conditions, in an attempt to cope with growing shortages of GPs.

The scheme is expected to be included in the NHS 10-year plan which is due to be published later this year. The Daily Telegraph
