title: Well child care records for use in Australian general practice.
abstract: According to WONCA, 'the discipline of general practice/family medicine needs to be firmly established as the central discipline of medicine around which medical and allied health disciplines are arranged to form a co-operative team for the benefit of the individual, the family and the community.' Well child care is an important part of general practice. By using the records presented in this paper at the time of both routine and opportunistic age specific visits, comprehensive well child care can be provided through the efficient teamwork of family doctors and practice nurses. Comments or suggestions for improving the records can be sent to Dr R Janes.
