      The PractitionerRole has been agreed to add to this property (tracker 14224), which covers the role concerns.

      The comments for the property will be updated to include the following text:

      Multiple GPs may be recorded against the patient for various reasons, such as a student that has his home GP listed along with the GP at university during the school semesters, or a "fly-in/fly-out" worker that has the onsite GP also included with his home GP to remain aware of medical issues.

      Jurisdictions may decide that they can profile this down to 1 if desired, or 1 per type.

      It's listed as 0..*, but there's no guidance on what to do if there are multiple repetitions, nor how to distinguish the repetitions. The references aren't role-specific, so you can't tell what clinic the relationship is with. It's not clear that this part has been well exercised. If it has been well-exercised, the documentation is lacking.
