Communication in medicine: a study of how family doctors obtain information on recent advances in the treatment of rheumatic diseases.
The results of a questionnaire on how 131 family doctors in Glasgow and the West of Scotland obtain information regarding recent advances in rheumatology are described. The results show that medical journals and formal lectures and symposia are still popular. Tape/slide and television presentations were not considered of much value.
