Doctors hope 2022 will be a better year for patients and staff

GPs in North Yorkshire are hoping 2022 will be a better year for patients and staff

North Yorkshire GPs are hoping things come back to some sort of normal for appointments.

At the start of the pandemic, GPs had to change the way they delivered care, moving more to online and telephone appointments to help manage the risk of infection.

Nigel Wells is the clinical lead for Humber Coast and Vale, he said:

“One of the things for me that I’ve missed out on is seeing patients face to face we've missed them they've missed us we understand that hopefully we will get back to to some way of seeing people more face to face in the future.

"All clinicians and primary care staff will think about how they will pull together in this last year and how they pulled out all the stops to get the vaccination programme are a real go and get it to where it is at the minute which is really positive.”
