A crisis of identity: what is the essence of general practice?
Extract from article:
The past 40 years have brought changes that have transformed general practice as we used to understand it. Despite this, as a profession, we like to imagine that the clinician–patient interaction remains centre stage, played out in time and space as close as possible to the communities where individuals live, influenced by their social contexts. However, this archetypal description of general practice is challenged by fundamental uncertainties about our role and purpose, which we explore below. These uncertainties test our conception of relational care and our ability to enter into the therapeutic alliances that we know benefit patients.
