St. Agnes: a study of a health centre in evolution.
The growth of St Agnes Health Centre is described, with its transition from simple group practice to a comprehensive health centre over a five-year period. Its position in a rapidly growing suburb is analysed and illustrated by usage and referral patterns. The sucessful integration of general practice, sessional specialists and allied health workers under one roof makes it unique as a primary health care project in Australia.
