Analysis of general practitioner system in the UK and its enlightenment / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

The role of general practitioners in the UK was analyzed and we found that in the UK, there was normalized general medical education system, perfect general practitioner training sys-tem, specific responsibilities and assessment index, close liaison group between primary and secondary care, strong economic supporting measures and high degree of recognition. Therefore, to deepen med-ical reform and improve basic medical service, we must accelerate general practitioners training, im-prove practice ability of general practitioners, establish the first-treatment system in community, reit-erate role of gatekeeper, enhance the payment of general practitioner and increase their sense of iden-tity. At the same time, we must strengthen the informatization construction, set up the first-treatment in the community and the patency of two-way referral system.
