Social workers in primary health care: the general practitioner's viewpoint. 1979

P Williams, and A Clare

The success of general practitioner/social worker collaboration in primary care depends largely on how the doctors perceive the attachment.We examined the replies of a group of general practitioners to a series of questions about such an attachment. Although the collaboration may lead to more work for the doctors, it was much appreciated by them.
