	eMJA: Task substitution: the view of the Australian Medical Association (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Australian research has shown patients are supportive of general practice nursing, but also have strong views that nurses should not be a substitute for doctors, should not take on diagnostic roles, and should be part of a team with the doctor.
		Major challenges loom — for example, the growing obesity of the Australian population and the accompanying epidemic of type 2 diabetes.
		In advocating reforms such as team-based care in general and hospital practice, the AMA is calling for reforms that synergise the different skills of doctors, nurses and other health professionals, rather than for a competitive regimen of overlapping clinical roles.
