The nature and structure of the primary care process remains to gain well deserved attention in research worldwide. The NIVEL institute for research into health care has performed, in the eighties of the last century, a large study investigating general practice in the Netherlands in its broadest sense. The nature of such practice, the working conditions of the professionals involved, and the experiences of these professionals as well as their patients were studied. By the end of the century the institute gained the opportunity to replicate its earlier study as to establish trends over the years. One important element was added to the National Study this time: an investigation of the communication that takes place in the physicians’ office. This part of the study can learn us how, in the current situation, general practitioner patient communication is practiced in a very large, representative sample.(aut. ref.)
