TY - JOUR T1 - Moving to a health centre—the effect on workload and patients JF - The Journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners JO - J R Coll Gen Pract SP - 527 LP - 531 VL - 25 IS - 156 AU - K. J. Bolden AU - D. C.

It was found that the services provided enabled a much greater proportion of routine work to be done by the practice nurse so that the doctor could spend more time with the patients seen by him. A survey of the opinion of patients showed that the great majority was pleased with the services offered in the new premises and did not feel that they had lost contact with their own doctor. ER -
