AB  - Describes relationships in general practice and the manner in which
these have changed since the implementation of the new contract in 1990
– based on the perceptions of 20 urban general practitioners
revealed by an open‐ended, unstructured interview approach aiming to
uncover the doctors′ points of view rather than to reflect the
assumptions of the investigator. Focuses on the doctor‐patient
interaction; the problem of communication with the Family Health Service
Authority; the effect of the contract on the ancillary staff
relationships with the doctor and the patientss the effect on
partnerships and finally, the impact of the new contract requirements on
the general practitioner′s family life and personal relationships.
Suggests that relationships in general practice have become more
difficult since the implementation of the new contract.
