Membership and attendance patterns in Tavistock Clinic general practitioner seminars.

Patterns of recruitment and attendance (1951-79) of general practitioners at seminars at the Tavistock Clinic are analysed. Latterly about 40 general practitioners have attended each week; a turnover of about 15 join or leave each year; about 60 per cent stay at least two years and 40 per cent stay over three years. Half come from outside London. The ratio of men and women reflects the prevailing ratio in the profession. Most join five to 10 years after qualifying and younger general practitioners tend to leave early. At least seven per cent of recent members have left general practice; but the proportion involved in training, course organizing and the Royal College of General Practitioners is far above the average for all general practitioners.

Preservation of organophosphorous pesticides in water samples.

Four techniques were studied for capacity to preserve sixteen organophosphorous pesticides in distilled water and in creek water. A technique using chloroform effectively preserved all sixteen pesticides for the three weeks of the study and refrigeration was effective for fourteen of the pesticides, but buffers of pH 4 and pH 7 appeared undependable as preservatives.

Research as an educational tool: experience from Balint groups.

The educational and professional value of research is real but may be deceptive and costly. The history and theory of Balint groups for GPs are reviewed. The value of research in the context of Balint groups is examined and some implications of this experience are discussed in relation to a professional ethos for doctors and their teachers.
