TY - JOUR T1 - One practice's review of its use of a general practitioner hospital JF - The Journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners JO - J R Coll Gen Pract SP - 401 LP - 404 VL - 30 IS - 216 AU - C. R. Goucke Y1 - 1980/07/01 UR - http://bjgp.org/content/30/216/401.abstract N2 - For a period of six months a record was kept of every attendance at a general practitioner hospital by a patient from a four-partner practice with a list of 10,500 patients. During the six-month period one in 17 of the practice population was x-rayed; one in 50 attended the physiotherapy department, and the rate for general practitioner surgery consultations was one per person. I believe that in semi-rural North Yorkshire the general practitioner hospital has a continuing role to play and such a hospital can provide a better and more comprehensive service to patients, and give professional satisfaction and stimulation to the primary health care team.
