Some differences between Australian country and city general practice.
Many of the differences between city and country general practice are well known. They include the effect of distance on accessibility; the general practitioner to patient ratios and the difference in the procedural work performed; and the availability of locums. Less well known differences include the age of the practitioner, the practitioner's workload, education, and prescribing habits, and the role of the practitioner's spouse.
