TL;DR
It was found that the development of out-of-hours co-operatives was an important factor in the improvement in GPs' health status.
Abstract
General practitioners (GPs) have been found to have a higher level of anxiety and depression then hospital managers and consultants. In 1995 and 1998, we surveyed GPs in Buckinghamshire. We found that the development of out-of-hours co-operatives was an important factor in the improvement in GPs' health status.
