General practitioners (GPs) with higher workloads had more return appointments. Reducing these return visits can significantly decrease GP workload and reduce stress from patient demand.

Area of Science:

  • General Practice
  • Healthcare Management
  • Patient Flow Analysis

Background:

  • General practitioners (GPs) often face high weekly surgery workloads.
  • Increased patient demand contributes to perceived workload stress.
  • Return consultations represent a significant component of GP workload.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between GP workload and the proportion of return consultations.
  • To explore the potential impact of reducing return consultations on GP workload and stress.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of consultation data from General Practitioners (GPs) in Tayside.
  • Comparison of return consultation proportions based on weekly surgery workload levels.

Main Results:

  • GPs with higher weekly surgery workloads exhibited a greater proportion of return consultations.
  • A correlation was observed between increased workload and a higher frequency of follow-up appointments.

Conclusions:

  • Reducing the number of return consultations could effectively decrease GP workload.
  • Strategies to manage return visits may alleviate stress associated with perceived patient demand in primary care.
