Comparing GP and nurse practitioner consultations

[摘要] Seale et al1 have provided a much-needed comparative analysis of the different communication patterns used by GPs and nurse practitioners in their consultations with general practice patients. Their findings, namely that nurse practitioners conduct longer consultations with increased dialogue by both patient and nurse practitioners alike has resonance with previous consultation research regarding variant communication styles among doctors and nurses2.
