Striking a balance – what matters most in general practice?

The government is reviewing general practice healthcare to establish priorities for the future.  The General Practitioners Committee (GPC) of the British Medical Association wishes to seek the views of the public, patient groups, health charities and the professions on four key issues facing general practice and patients:  It maybe that one of the issues below is of particularly importance to you, please feel free to comment on what matters to you, not necessarily the whole document.

•      The evolving practice team
•      Getting a suitable appointments
•      Care and treatment outside normal working hours
•      Continuity and coordination of care in the modern NHS.
