A method of assessment of teaching practices and trainers by their trainees.

A method of assessment is described which can be used by trainees at the end of their vocational training in general practice. The assessment allows trainees to make ratings and comments on their teaching practices that can be returned confidentially to their trainers. The results of this assessment suggest that trainees in the Northumbria vocational training scheme are reasonably satisfied with their trainers and training practices.

Screening the aged in general practice.

We describe a comprehensive screening project in a general practice in which patients over the age of 65 were assessed both socially and medically. We conclude from our results that there was little treatable but previously undiagnosed illness within the community studied.

Physiotherapy in general practice.

Approximately nine per cent of all episodes and of all consultations in this practice during a two-year period were for musculo-skeletal disorders. Absence of ready access to hospital physiotherapy departments stimulated us to explore the possibilities of organising a private physiotherapy service.A scheme has now been in operation for over two years in which a physiotherapist treats patients on the practice premises. In this way it has been possible to provide prompt effective treatment at about one third of normal private physiotherapy charges. The scheme has succeeded from the points of view of therapeutic efficacy, of convenience to patients, to doctors and to physiotherapist, and of economy. The range of conditions treated and the results of treatment are described.
