abstractFamily doctors: is the isolation about to end? So it would seem: for a few years now, more and more Italian GPs have been choosing to work in groups. The idea is to ensure their patients greater availability of opening hours, specialist knowledge and a wide range of services. Thus, a new kind of GP is taking shape; unlike the old-style national health doctor, this GP is studying again and rediscovering specific interests.
However, working in a group can be difficult, quite aside from the administrative issues and bureaucratic hurdles. Less personal autonomy, friction with colleagues and longer working hours are just some of the risks that doctors may run. And after all, there is nothing to say that all this is popular with the patients. According to various studies carried out in Anglo-Saxon countries, patients think that smaller surgeries are more accessible and that they provide more satisfactory services. But perhaps the greatest risk that lurks behind these surgeries of the future is the breakdown in the relationship of trust between doctor and patient: not having a single doctor as a point of reference could make the patient feel like a mere user of a service, and not like a sick person who needs to be understood in all his or her complexity. |
