AB General practitioners (GPs) in Tayside, with higher weekly surgery workloads, tended to have a greater proportion of return consultations compared with GPs with smaller workloads. By reducing the number of return consultations, GPs could have a notable effect on their workload and alleviate the, oft-quoted, stress induced by the perceived increase in demand for patient care.
