A survey of general practitioners in Tower Hamlets health district in London is reported. The findings indicate a caring and concerned group of doctors who are working under considerable difficulty. The pattern of general practice in this district is dissimilar to the rest of the country, with infrequent use of attached staff, poor accommodation, more single-handed practices, and a predominance of elderly doctors trained overseas and either approaching or beyond conventional retirement age. Some suggestions are made towards the future development of the family doctor service.
本文报道了一项针对伦敦塔哈姆雷特健康区全科医生的调查。调查结果显示,这是一群富有爱心且关切病人的医生,但他们工作面临诸多困难。该地区的全科医疗模式与英国其他地区不同,附属工作人员使用频率低、诊疗场所条件差、单人执业情况较多,并且占主导地位的是在海外接受培训且已接近或超过传统退休年龄的老年医生。文中针对家庭医生服务的未来发展提出了一些建议。
