Much has been spoken about the changing nature of general practice, although little documental evidence is available to identify the nature of these changes. Such changes are said to include provision of some diagnostic services, diminishing involvement in surgical and obstetrical procedures, and a lessening of GP involvement in the hospital care of patients. Information about the range of services provided by the average general practitioner is essential knowledge required by planners of undergraduate, vocational and continuing education programmes. In view of the anticipated rapid increase in general practitioner numbers in the near future, further changes in the nature of the discipline are predicted. A survey of general practitioners was therefore proposed by four bodies concerned with medical education relevant to general practice, viz. -- the Victorian Medical Postgraduate Foundation, the Monash University Department of Social and Preventive Medicine (Section of Community Practice), the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (Victoria Faculty) and the Victorian Academy for General Practice Limited.
关于全科医疗性质的变化，人们已经谈论了很多，尽管几乎没有文献证据可用来确定这些变化的性质。据说这些变化包括提供一些诊断服务、减少参与外科和产科手术，以及全科医生减少参与患者的医院护理。关于普通全科医生提供的服务范围的信息，是本科、职业和继续教育项目规划者所需的基本知识。鉴于预计在不久的将来全科医生数量将迅速增加，预计该学科的性质将进一步发生变化。因此，四个与全科医疗相关医学教育有关的机构提议对全科医生进行一项调查，即维多利亚医学研究生基金会、莫纳什大学社会与预防医学系（社区实践科）、澳大利亚皇家全科医生学院（维多利亚分会）和维多利亚全科医疗学院有限公司。
