Use of a community health centre by general practitioners.
The advent of community health centres has brought a change to supportive services in many areas. This situation has produced problems, both for the general practitioner confronted by new expectations and possibilities, and for the health centre seeking his cooperation. There is here an opportunity to observe the process of change in general practice. In the evaluation of a community health centre, GPs in an inner-urban area were interviewed to locate factors related to their use of services. The resulting observations of change in general practice suggested certain conclusions for the health centre's policy.
