RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 The medical secretary: her views and attitudes JF The Journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners JO J R Coll Gen Pract FD British Journal of General Practice SP 368 OP 371 VO 31 IS 227 A1 Alexander, D. A. YR 1981 UL http://bjgp.org/content/31/227/368.abstract AB Secretaries and doctors share one primary objective—patient care. Common aims are usually achieved most effectively by working together.
