The role of general practitioners in the UK was analyzed and we found that in the UK， there was normalized general medical education system， perfect general practitioner training sys-tem， specific responsibilities and assessment index， close liaison group between primary and secondary care， strong economic supporting measures and high degree of recognition. Therefore， to deepen med-ical reform and improve basic medical service， we must accelerate general practitioners training， im-prove practice ability of general practitioners， establish the first-treatment system in community， reit-erate role of gatekeeper， enhance the payment of general practitioner and increase their sense of iden-tity. At the same time， we must strengthen the informatization construction， set up the first-treatment in the community and the patency of two-way referral system.
