Abstract

Abstract: Primary care is the foundation of National Health Service（NHS）in the UK.Because recently there is an insufficient number of general practitioners to meet public healthcare needs，NHS launched a comprehensive reform，formulating two policies，Five Year Forward View and General Practice Forward View.On the basis of reviewing the latest related research in the UK，this paper gives a comparative analysis of the UK essential healthcare system and its reforms in recent five years，and the general practice development in China，with a view to bringing enlightenment to domestic general practice development.

Key words: General practice, Primary health care, Health care reform, General practitioners, Health manpower, United Kingdom

摘要： 英国全科医疗是国家卫生服务体系（National Health Service，NHS）的基石，不过近年出现了全科医生短缺的情况。对此，NHS进行了全面改良，提出了《五年发展规划》和《全科医学发展规划》。本文拟立足于此，结合英国前沿学术成果，介绍英国基本医疗卫生体制及其近五年改良的新举措，并与我国全科医学的发展现状相比较，以期为我国全科医学的进一步发展带来启示。
