The changing relationship between neurology and general practice in the UK
Br J Gen Pract.
2009 Aug.
Abstract
The full involvement of primary care in an organised and balanced health service is vital to neurological patients' health. However, the available evidence suggests that GPs are, if anything, withdrawing or being pushed out of caring for this patient group. This article tries to identify why this may be happening, considers the implications, and suggests alternative ways forward.
