Supplementary notes
GP is an abbreviation for General Practitioner, the British equivalent to a primary care physician.
The figures represented here are estimates about the worked hours and patients seen each week by the GPs that took part in the survey. However, the data cannot be taken as a precise indication of GP workload as the survey does not sample or weight for various other influential factors.
