AB  - General Medical Practitioners (GPs) and their practices have been
subject to a wide range of mandatory financial and administrative
changes in the last few years. Explores the nature of these changes as
well as providing insights into the way these demands have been managed,
drawing its empirical insights from the experiences of six GP practices
in one family health service authority (FHSA) in the UK with which the
authors have had ongoing involvement over the last few years. Develops
an understanding of the observations through recent theories of
organizational change processes amplified through aspects of the
sociology of professions. Concludes that, to date, GPs have managed to
avoid the behavioural changes which the reforms intended through a
process of delegation and displacement of the unwelcome and unwanted
elements to primarily women members of the practice team (notably nurses
and practice managers).
