title: Patients, carers and the medical profession: a co-operative approach.
abstract: This article is reprinted (with minor editing) from the Queensland Council of Carers newsletter for members. The Council's Public Policy Forum, held in September 1994, raised problems faced by carers, some of which related to the relationship between patients, carers, and the medical profession. Their concerns were circulated to the Divisions of General Practice, who in turn delegated the author to contact the Queensland Council of Carers, with a view to improving co-operation and clarifying mutual expectations.
