title: An appointments system in general practice.
abstract: The essential features of an appointments system are its structure, its practicability, the staff application, and the patient's accessibility and their education of its function, and how best to avail themselves of its benefits. A proposal for an appointments system in general practice is contained in a booklet produced by the Practice Management Committee of Council. The booklet also contains a report of the Medical Organization Committee of the Royal College of General Practitioners.
