We describe the practices and staff of a random sample of 158 doctors. There has been a significant increase in ancillary staff since the Doctors' Charter of 1966. The study showed that there was no economy in staff as the number of doctors in a practice increased. In the selection of receptionists, doctors preferred married women over 35 with children, and were in favour of good personal qualities rather than good academic attainments. However, a high standard of work is important as well as a good understanding of human behaviour.
我们描述了158名医生的随机样本的执业情况和工作人员。自1966年《医生宪章》颁布以来，辅助人员有了显著增加。研究表明，随着一个诊所医生数量的增加，人员配备并没有精简。在选拔接待员时，医生更喜欢35岁以上有孩子的已婚女性，并且看重良好的个人品质而非优异的学术成就。然而，高标准的工作以及对人类行为的良好理解同样重要。
