GPs say they're seeing more patients with inadequate resources and unsustainable workloads.
A BMA survey was sent to all 386 GP surgeries across Wales, and 240 responded.
"I was ill for about three months after that. I should have prioritised my health before it escalated to that level, but I was so passionate, felt I needed to fix what I could've fixed. It was Monday, I thought I could soldier on until Friday, but I was in hospital on Tuesday." "It was dangerous. It was putting these patients unknowingly at a very high risk of things going wrong, because there's interruptions to the thoughts, to the documentation, to certain processes, and these interruptions can be lethal. It would take two seconds to issue the wrong medication, while you're interrupted by something else."
She echoed the BMA's concerns over the future of general practice. She said GPs were the "gatekeepers to the healthcare system and to secondary care" and without them "secondary care would collapse in a matter of days"."Unless urgent action is taken to address workload, workforce and wellbeing, the service is at risk," says Dr Gareth Oelmann of BMA Cymru
In a letter to Health Minister Eluned Morgan, the BMA called for increased funding in general practice and a maximum number of patients "GPs can reasonably deal with during a working day".
