Jo Best explores the causes—and possible solutions Steve Taylor has been a GP for almost 30 years, first as a partner and now as a locum. “When I started, 20% of my patients were on some sort of medication; now it’s 50%,” says the Manchester based GP. “Now, you’ve got access to more investigations that you wouldn’t have had as a GP 20 years ago, and you’ve got more drugs that you can use. “There’s been a huge increase in complexity. Obviously, there’s always been complex cases, but the depth of that has just increased as time has gone by.” He’s not alone: ask a GP if their work has become more complex over time, and you’ll almost certainly be met with a yes. More patients than ever are registered with GPs, while appointments aren’t rising in parallel, leaving GPs’ workloads spiralling. Taylor says, “When I started 30 years ago, I’d do a two hour clinic in the morning and a two hour clinic in the afternoon. I’d do some admin and some visits in the middle, but it was pretty much a 9 to 5 30-ish day. After 30 years in the business I was starting at 8 am, finishing at 7 30 pm, and not stopping for a minute.” But increasing complexity is more than just a side effect of increased demand on primary care: demographic changes and shifts in the nature of GPs’ roles have caused an increase in the levels of complexity GPs now see every day. Gauging change in complexity comes with challenges. There’s little agreement on how to define complexity in primary care and few validated tools for measuring it. A recent consensus statement1 attempted to define complex consultations as “those …","PeriodicalId":22388,"journal":{"name":"The BMJ","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145241888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The use of non-invasive modes of respiratory support has increased in neonatal intensive care units and led to a reduction in the incidence of ventilation induced lung injuries.1 However, after starting nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) or nasal intermittent mandatory ventilation, a few newborns still need invasive ventilation. Interventions such as early rescue surfactant and golden hour care bundles (like good thermal care with cling wrap, targeted saturations, use of T-piece to deliver breaths gently, and others) have reduced this risk.2 Newer non-invasive modes like nasal high frequency oscillatory ventilation (NHFOV) and nasal neuronally adjusted ventilatory assist are showing promising outcomes in extremely preterm infants to reduce the risk further by better delivery of pressures into the lungs.1 In a linked study, Li and colleagues (doi:10.1136/bmj-2025-085569) report an important multicentre randomised trial evaluating the efficacy of NHFOV as primary respiratory support in extremely preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome.3 In their trial, NHFOV is shown to be superior …","PeriodicalId":22388,"journal":{"name":"The BMJ","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145241889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
