Community participation in cardiac rehabilitation.

Cardiac patients are not solely responsible for their own rehabilitation. The rehabilitative process is a prolonged one, and success lies in multidisciplinary management involving the patient, the immediate family and the community. The Health Act (Act No. 63 of 1977) has various implications for the future provision of rehabilitative services in South Africa. Each member of the health team and the community has a specific role to play, either within or outside the hospital setting, thus providing ongoing rehabilitative supervision of cardiac patients.

[Centuries-old community involvement of South African physicians].

Involvement in community affairs is an honoured tradition among South African medical practitioners. The so-called old doctor belonged to an era when dedication to the arts, botany, zoology and nature in general was often combined with the practice of medicine. They were colourful individuals and their names are worth remembering in this eventful year.

In search of a curriculum.

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.

[South African family doctor's contribution to public health during the period 1900-1950].

During the period 1900-1950 the general or family practitioners made significant contributions to the health care in South Africa. The historical details of these contributions were not always documented and are difficult to trace. The Department of Family Medicine is anxious to preserve this part of South African medical history and a research project to further this effort was carried out. All possible sources of information were used. Chairs of medical history should be established in our medical faculties.
