英国皇家全科医学学院的调查显示，75%的全科医生由于工作时间压力过大，无法为患者提供深入的预防性医疗咨询。1 这项针对2,316名全科医生的调查涉及吸烟、减重、睡眠等生活方式建议和疫苗接种等预防措施。1 医学专家指出，10分钟的预约时段使医生无法充分讨论患者的健康问题。1 英国皇家全科医学学院主席维多利亚·特佐齐欧·布朗教授表示："在繁忙的咨询中，我们必然要优先处理最需要关注的问题。"1
这一发现引发了对英国国民医疗服务制度（NHS）预防性医疗目标能否实现的担忧。1 King's Fund首席执行官莎拉·伍尔诺称这些调查结果"令人震惊"，并指出英国人均预期寿命在可比国家中处于较低水平。1 不过，英国公众调查显示，64%的民众信任全科医生提供健康生活建议，这一比例高于对NHS网站（51%）、药剂师（38%）和AI聊天机器人（7%）的信任度。1
A survey by the Royal College of General Practitioners found that 75 percent of general practitioners lack sufficient time to deliver preventive healthcare advice to their patients 1. The study, which polled 2,316 GPs across the United Kingdom, reveals a significant gap between clinical demand and available consultation time, raising concerns about the feasibility of preventive health targets within the National Health Service 1.
Medical experts attribute the constraint to the structure of GP appointments. A 10-minute consultation slot leaves doctors unable to engage patients in meaningful discussions about lifestyle factors such as smoking cessation, weight management, and sleep quality 1. Professor Victoria Tezozio-Brown, chair of the Royal College of General Practitioners, acknowledged the trade-off: "In busy consultations, we must necessarily prioritize the issues most in need of attention" 1. This predicament underscores the mounting pressure on primary care practitioners struggling to balance immediate clinical needs with longer-term preventive medicine.
Public confidence in GP-led health guidance remains strong, with 64 percent of UK residents trusting general practitioners to provide advice on healthy living—a figure substantially higher than trust in NHS websites at 51 percent, pharmacists at 38 percent, or artificial intelligence chatbots at 7 percent 1. However, the findings have prompted concern from health policy leaders. Sarah Woolnoth, chief executive of the King's Fund, described the results as "shocking," particularly given that UK life expectancy ranks below comparable nations 1.
