This week Ben is joined by David McKenzie, GP Rudgwick Medical Centre based in North West Sussex. David has been spending his time developing an automation system, ABC insights, that he believes will be helpful to GPs and patients moving forward. David explains how ABC works, the barriers he has faced so far with the system and what the future looks like for ABC. David has developed ABC himself and describes the pros and cons of doing a ‘self build’. Finally, David shares his experience of implementing ABC in his own GP practice and how it has improved the quality of his time with patients and saved time for himself and others within the practice.
