Recent decades have witnessed radical changes both in the workload and in the job description of general practitioners (GPs) in the Nordic countries, and the trend continues. Owing to social changes, particularly the deterioration in health care economy, the GPs will in the future be required to deal with increasing numbers of patients as well as increasingly severe categories of diseases, previously treated at hospital departments and clinics. This will entail increased demands in terms both of the further education of GPs and of the equipment available to them. It will also entail improved and extended cooperation between GPs and consultants, both in matters of overall policy and in the management of individual cases.
近几十年来，北欧国家全科医生（GP）的工作量和工作职责都发生了根本性变化，而且这一趋势仍在持续。由于社会变革，尤其是医疗保健经济的恶化，未来全科医生将需要应对越来越多的患者以及越来越严重的疾病类型，这些疾病以前是在医院科室和诊所治疗的。这将对全科医生的继续教育以及他们可获得的设备提出更高要求。这还将需要全科医生与顾问在总体政策事务和个别病例管理方面加强和扩大合作。
