Abstract:
We present the results of a questionnaire-based survey amongst the general practitioners and consultant dermatologists regarding maximum acceptable waiting times for a range of skin conditions. Statistically significant differences were found in the relative prioritization between the general practitioners and the consultants for a selection of the diagnoses. This has implications for planning and implementation of future services in general and developing waiting list prioritization scoring systems in particular.
