Attitudes towards the content of general practice teaching.

In a study of attitudes towards the content of general practice teaching, it was found that there was good agreement between fifth year medical students and their general practitioner tutors. The social aspects of illness were considered the most important by students and both groups emphasized the value of seeing patients in their homes with time for discussion of cases. These findings are discussed in the context of the development of teaching in general practice at Glasgow University.

Using the first consultation in acute illness for teaching third year medical students.

We have introduced clinical teaching in general practice for students in their first clinical year. The students are present at the patient's initial consultation for an acute illness and thus see a wide range of morbidity which is seldom found in hospital. Log books are used to record such factors as the patient's presenting complaint, the diagnosis that is made and the presence of significant social and psychological aspects of the physical condition. Although there were only four two-hour teaching sessions, the frequency and the range of presenting complaints seen by students approximates to that in general practice. The opinions of both the tutors and the students to this form of teaching have been favourable.

Incongruous referrals.

A survey of 1344 patients registered at a new health centre in Glasgow assessed the prevalence of symptoms and referrals together with subjective, gradings of medical symptoms in terms of pain, disability, and perceived seriousness, and of social symptoms in terms of worry or inconvenience. These grading scales were used to define referral behaviour which appeared to be incongruous in the light of the respondents' own perceptions of their symptoms. In this way incongruous referrals indicated the size of the medical and social symptom "iceberg" and "trivia". For both medical and social symptoms the "icebergs" were larger than the "trivia"; the medical-symptom "iceberg" was two to three times greater than the medical-symptom "trivia".
