GP Practices to ‘Level up’
An initiative has been created to help GP Practices in Hartlepool to “level up” following on from results of a patient survey.
The initiative will ensure that patients receive the highest standards of service across the region.
Ciaran at Menlo Park said of the plans “This is a positive step. It means that surgeries aren’t just left with their patient survey results and are incentivized to improve them!”

GPs ‘gut feelings’ help diagnosis
We covered an article that describes how GPs often use their ‘gut feelings’ to diagnose patients issues. The article focuses on predicting if someone has cancer. GPs instinct at detection, has been shown to result in a higher number of cancer diagnosis.
Andrew at Menlo Park commented “I think the article highlights why Matt Hancock’s ‘Zoom First’ policy is going to have major negative implications when it comes to the identification of serious diseases.
You don’t get the same range of physical cues over a video call, that you do in person. Cancer is one important example, and I think Mental Health is another. How many people go to GP surgeries with something that has manifest itself physically, only for a GP to pick up on other cues that it could be Mental.
There could also be physical indicators that a GP misses out on, that you can’t see over video, but that you would pick up in person. There needs to be a very careful balance.”

Our expertise and unique approach
We have received some fantastic feedback from a practice we have worked with. At Menlo Park, our priority when working with practices, is to understand their needs. Understanding the practices we work with means we fully understand their plans. We understand their ethos and their needs. We use this knowledge, and we find them the perfect clinician to add to their team.
Here is the feedback we have received from a Practice Manager we worked with:
“I cannot recommend Ciaran and the Menlo Park team highly enough for their support with hiring a highly specialised role for Amwell Group Practice.
Their detailed brief of the role, understanding of the culture of the practice and their tenacity in their search process enabled us to find the perfect candidate for our team’.
We simply could not have done this without them.”
