N2 - Demand for primary care services is high, with more patients and fewer practitioners leading to concerns that primary care physicians are struggling to cope with patient demand (1). General practice workload is seen as a potential risk to patients, simply because GPs are overworked (2).

These pressures clearly have an effect on those who currently practice in primary care. It is not just patients that are at risk; high levels of stress caused by unmanageable workloads are affecting practitioners too (3).The phenomenon of ‘burnout’ has been widely studied in medicine, linking chronic job-related stress and exhaustion, depersonalization and frustration (4,5).
