Abstract

Frequent attenders (FAs) account for a large proportion of contacts with general practitioners (GPs); their levels of physical and psychosocial morbidity are high. A debate exists on whether frequent attendance is a persistent feature or a temporary trait in the consultation pattern of patients. The aim of the study was to follow up the consultation pattern of a group of FAs and to compare features of persistent and occasional FAs.
