		Direct experience of general practice during the undergraduate period will demonstrate the advantages of the specialist referring the patient to a general practitioner if he or she is to get the full benefit of medical care.
		The contribution stems from the setting in which the general practitioner works, the range of problems he faces, the knowledge, skills and attitudes which he brings to their solution, and from what he does and is as a person.
		The general practitioner's contribution is to demonstrate the application of a science and to influence the concepts of relevance in the minds of teachers, as other clinicians do.

	General practitioner's beliefs about patients influences treatment

	A general practitioner perspective
		General practitioners are beginning to realise that the inclusion of a pharmacist in the team can result in benefits to patients and other team members.
		The discussions made the whole team more critically aware of their prescribing practices, which was beneficial in itself and led to optimisation of existing resources so that we could increase expenditure where new evidence indicates improved quality of life and health gain for patients.
		Survey of patients who have had contact with the pharmacist indicated they were generally unconcerned about who managed their care as long as the person was competent to undertake the job.

	The General Practitioner as First Responder in a Major Medical Emergency
		Our research has shown that rural General Practitioners themselves feel they should be involved in disaster planning (87%), and 64% think most GPs (urban and rural) will one day be obliged to attend a disaster.
		Whilst the General Practitioners and Nurses involved were not required to save lives or attend the scene of a major incident they did all that the CMC asked of them, and more.
		Based on our research of General Practitioner attitudes toward Disasters, we believe that they consider that involvement in a disaster is inevitable, and that the majority of GPs are not comfortable with their competence to respond.

		People with chest pain from socioeconomically deprived areas were more likely to present with the symptom than people from affluent areas, but there was no difference in the proportions of those presenting to their general practitioner who were provisionally diagnosed as having coronary heart disease.
		Men with chest pain were more likely than women to present with chest pain, and of those presenting to a general practitioner a greater proportion of men received a diagnosis of coronary heart disease.
		Decisions made by patients and general practitioners at the point of entry to medical care do not seem to explain reported socioeconomic variations in uptake of cardiology services.

	BioMed Central \| Full text \| Validation of the diagnosis of autism in general practitioner records
		We examined anonymized copies of all relevant available clinical reports, including general practitioners' (GP) notes, consultant, speech therapy and educational psychologists reports, on 318 subjects born between 1973 and 1997 with a diagnosis of autism or a related disorder recorded in their electronic general practice record.
		It is possible to obtain from general practitioners copies of hospital letters regarding specific patients (in anonymised form), although not all participating general practices provide this service.
		The algorithm generated a PDD diagnosis when at least three out of the 12 DSM-IV symptoms were scored, with the further constraint that there would be at least 1 symptom in the social domain and 1 symptom in either the communication/language or the repetitive behaviour domain.

	12.5 Role of the general practitioner and other health workers
		Health professionals, and particularly general practitioners (GPs), are in a unique position to provide quit advice to their patients.
		A quit rate between 7.5% and 11.3% means that a minimum of 220,000 smokers would quit each year in Australia, given the proportion of people who attend their general practitioner in a one year period and a smoking prevalence of 30%.
		There is a clear advantage in encouraging medical professionals to provide their smoking patients with advice to quit, and in ensuring that medical practitioners have access to suitable materials to assist in this.
