Patients with sexual problems commonly present in a family practice. The family physician, as the doctor of first contact, is in the best position to manage these problems, but his training in human sexuality is very often insufficient. A plea is made for the proper training of family physicians in family medicine, including human sexuality.
Owing to the multidisciplinary character of general practice, there is a great need for an effective and practical clinical record system for the family physician. The recording of clinical data of home visits and other visits places an extra burden on his record system. A practical system which tries to solve these and other problems is presented. A simplified form of Weed's Problem Orientated Medical Records (POMR) is incorporated in this system. The different components as well as the practical functioning of the system are described.

The curricular needs in the continuing education of general practitioners can be assessed by means of surveys which utilise practice profile data. In constructing the practice profile, we have made use of disease classification fata and factors involved in practice management. So far, the results of a survey in which 100 practitioners are participating indicate that the method will yield valuable results.
