Operose Health: What I saw working undercover at a GP surgeryFor six weeks I worked undercover as a receptionist in a GP surgery owned by Operose Health, the UK's biggest GP chain. Most practices in England are privately owned by GP partners, but a rule-change in 2007 allowed bigger companies to buy up partner-led surgeries.Operose Health has grown rapidly in recent years - it has spent millions buying GP practices. It now runs 70 surgeries with nearly 600,000 patients, making it the biggest GP provider to the NHS.Across the UK, there is a shortage of GPs and general practice is under unprecedented pressure. Former Operose employees who spoke to Panorama - a dozen doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other staff - said they believed patient safety was being put at risk.Our investigation found the company let less qualified staff see patients, rather than doctors, without adequate supervision.Operose denies profit is being prioritised ahead of patient care and says it has a clear process of supervision.This is the diary of my time working in a busy Operose GP practice in London.
