摘要:This article presents some organizational and operational characteristics of UK Primary Health Care (PHC). The objective is to show relevant points in the functioning of PHC clinics that facilitate the dynamic balance between same-day appointments and programmatic health actions. It derives from empirical material of an ethnographic study, conducted in the United Kingdom in the period of 2013/14, which analyzed the pay-for-performance model in the country. The issues covered include: (a) composition of English PHC teams; (b) PHC clinic functional organogram; (c) 10 minute consultation of family physician and clinic opening hours; (d) reception; (e) nursing team; and (f) information technology system. The supporting references allow to simultaneously explore websites and tutorials to better understand some aspects of the English PHC dynamics. The UK has professionalized patients’ access to PHC. This has entailed larger number of administrative personnel, a smaller population/family physician ratio, greater autonomy of the nursing team and a robust information technology system. In Brazil, the Family Health Strategy (FHS) needs to follow a similar path in order to improve the primary healthcare quality in the country.
