Summary
In this opinion piece for inews, Dr Punam Krishan describes the increasing levels of verbal and physical abuse GPs are experiencing from patients in the NHS. She describes how a shift in the public's perception of GPs since the pandemic has contributed to this increase in aggression and highlights that although it is only a minority of patients who display abusive behaviour, it has a big impact on GPs wellbeing and ability to treat other patients. She goes on to outline stricter measures her practice has had to put in place to crack down on abuse from patients.
