- Abstract
Optimal planning for surgical training and the surgical workforce requires knowledge of the need and demand for surgical care in the community. This has previously relied on indirect indicators, such as hospital throughput. We aimed to describe referrals from general practitioners (GPs) to surgeons in Australia using a classification of surgical disorders developed especially for primary care settings.
