title: Journal clubs for general practitioners.
abstract: Journal clubs are one of the principal means by which hospital-based specialists keep up-to-date and engage in clinical discussion. General practitioners often feel isolated in their surgeries, and have limited opportunities to participate in discussion of journal articles, peer review or case presentation. A journal club run by general practitioners in their homes is described and recommended to all family physicians as an excellent learning experience.
