  • To compare the knowledge and approaches of experienced GPs, randomly selected GPs, and specialist consultants.

Main Methods:

  • Postal questionnaires were distributed to three distinct groups of medical professionals.
  • Involved experienced GPs (trainers), randomly selected GPs, and specialist consultants for each condition.
  • Consultants were asked to respond as they would expect a competent GP to answer.
