Why patients leave when a GP chair sits empty
The biggest cost of an unfilled GP room is not the fee to fill it — it is the patients who quietly leave while it stays empty. Here is why patient loss, not the placement cost, is the real bill.
Common questions
- What do you actually lose when a GP leaves and the chair stays empty?
- More than the cost of finding a replacement. Patients who cannot get in move to another clinic and take their billings, their referrals and often their whole family with them — a loss that runs for years, not weeks.
- Is filling the chair quickly really worth it?
- Yes. Fill the chair and the appointment book fills with it. Finding a doctor is a one-off cost of around $10,000; the patients lost while a room sits empty cost far more over time.
