Main duties of the job
The
GP@TG Service was commissioned in response to the sharp rise in drug related
deaths for those in drug treatment centres. Investigation into these revealed
that they most often relate to poor general health and or self-neglect. Co-Production
consultation told us clients face many barriers in accessing their GPs and
health care shame, guilt, low self-worth, missing appointments as well as
trying to have enough time with the GP. Following two successful years of
operation the GP@TG Service has been able to expand it's reach into HAGA to
provide the same service in a dedicated space for patients with alcohol misuse.
