abstract: Health promotion is becoming an increasingly prominent part of the workload of the primary health care team. Widening a consultation out to encompass general health matters can be difficult and time consuming. In this paper a simple tool to assist general practitioners and primary health care workers to discuss coronary heart disease risk factors is outlined and the experience gained in West Dorset is described.
