- Title
Put a cap on it: safe workload levels in general practice.

- Abstract
While a GP might be able to safely complete a maximum of 35 low-complexity routine appointments, 15 complex appointments relating to long- term or mental health issues could be viewed as unsafe.[4] The number of patient contacts is somewhat easier to predict and manage in a pre-bookable appointment system. Many GP surgeries are taking action to limit same- day appointments after being left trying to cope with unsafe numbers of patients on the duty list.[1] What are safe workload limits in general practice, and how can these limits be implemented in practice?.
