title: Learning more about your practice through preventive medicine projects.
abstract: The authors describe a brief intervention that aims to raise awareness among general practitioners of the illness prevention needs of their patients. Many patients surveyed in three general practices needed tetanus immunisation, wanted to cease smoking or reduce their use of alcohol--findings that highlight the need for general practitioners to become more involved in illness prevention programmes.
