See: BJGP Dec 97 47 805-809 - in summary a dutch study that tried to
compare patient with doctor expectations on the role of a GP; not
surprisingly they don't always agree! Patients seem to want
availability and accessibility, to have all explained in detail when it
comes to their specific illness; Doctors' views put more emphasis on the
organisational aspects of care - I wonder if this would hold true for
English GPs? - it wouldn't be surprising given the management tasks that
have been forced on to GPs over the past few years.
A good GP now seems to have more to do with the delivery of healthcare
rather than the diagnosis and treatment of illness...
