The views of singlehanded general practitioners: a qualitative study.

OBJECTIVES: To examine the concerns of singlehanded general practitioners working in an inner London area and to compare the views of general practitioners in partnerships. DESIGN: Qualitative analysis of semistructured interviews with a random sample of singlehanded general practitioners and a sample of general practitioners from partnerships matched for age and sex. SETTING: The area covered by Lambeth, Southwark, and Lewisham Family Health Services Authority. RESULTS: The singlehanded general practitioners were more likely to be older, male, and first qualified abroad than general practitioners in partnerships. Their major concerns were inadequate premises, maintaining their singlehanded status, and coping with recent changes to their contract. Most were very satisfied with their solo status and did not see the provision of 24 hour care as stressful. CONCLUSION: Singlehanded general practitioners saw themselves as providing a unique service for patients, and their status as an alternative for general practitioners who were unhappy in partnerships. Such practices are unlikely to wither away as a pattern of provision. Any comprehensive development of primary care must take their needs into account.

[The exercise of partnership: an exploratory analysis throughout the development of a crisis intervention service in the Haut-Richelieu territory].

This article analyzes the concept, the implementation process and the objective of a crisis intervention center in the Haut-Richelieu area. It examines the driving and resisting forces to the practice of partnership as established by the Quebec government in its official policy for mental health. The authors describe the practice of partnership during the different phases of the project's implementation by showing the impact of this approach on the risks involved or on the potential for misdirection. In addition, the authors identify some of the weaknesses related to this approach. Following this description of how the project has progressed, the authors discuss the constraints and success factors of this type of partnership in order to compare the logic and obligations of this approach with an approach originating from the common desire and collective will to meet familiar needs.

Attitudes to water fluoridation in general dental practice in the North East of England.

OBJECTIVE: To find out the knowledge of, and attitudes towards, water fluoridation of a sample of general dental practitioners working in the North East of England. DESIGN: Anonymous, self-completed postal questionnaire. SETTING: North East of England, both a fluoridated and non-fluoridated area. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Following a small pilot survey, questionnaire to 79 general dental practitioners (44 in a non-fluoridated area, 35 in an area supplied with fluoridated water at one part per million) contracted to provide National Health Service (NHS) treatment in the North East of England. RESULTS: Fifty-five general dental practitioners returned questionnaires (a 70% response rate). Most respondents supported the principle of water fluoridation. Over half of the respondents indicated that they would benefit from more information and training on the issue of water fluoridation. There were marked differences in knowledge and attitudes to fluoridation between dental principals and associates. The sample was evenly split about what to do with a parent who was unsure about (whether to support) fluoridation even after the dentist had discussed the issue and answered questions. CONCLUSIONS: The majority of general dental practitioners support water fluoridation although some lack knowledge and expertise which might inhibit advocacy of it.

Women doctors in urban general practice: the doctors.

A large study of general practitioners in Manchester showed that women doctors were younger than men doctors, and few were single handed or worked in deprived inner city areas. They had closely similar patterns of care to their male colleagues, and although they worked slightly fewer hours in surgery, they had almost identical consultation times per patient. Women general practitioners were less active in politics and education than men.

Job sharing in general practice.

A questionnaire survey of 500 consecutive patients consulting their general practitioners was undertaken to compare job sharing part time partners and full time partners in respect of patients' perception of and satisfaction with the availability of the doctor they wished to consult. Comparison of linear analogue scales of patients' satisfaction with the availability of their chosen doctor showed no significant difference between job sharing partners and full time partners. Nevertheless, significantly fewer patients were able to see the full time partner of their choice within two days than were able to see the job sharing partner of their choice within the same period. In this study patients were as satisfied with the availability of job sharing partners as they were with that of full time partners; the findings highlight important considerations for practices wishing to appoint partners with a limited commitment.
