RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Study of out-of-hours visits to children JF The Journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners JO J R Coll Gen Pract FD British Journal of General Practice SP 427 OP 428 VO 35 IS 278 A1 R.D. Walker YR 1985 UL http://bjgp.org/content/35/278/427.abstract AB Out-of-hours calls made to children by an urban practice were studied over a 12-month period. Out of a total of 1463 out-of-hours visits, 336 were to children, of whom 17 were admitted to hospital. The proportion of the out-of-hours calls which were to children is less than had been expected. This unexpectedly low level of out-of-hours visits to children and the type of conditions encountered should be taken into account when planning vocational training programmes.
