title: Experience in implementation of clinical guidelines: pre-operative chest radiography in non-cardiopulmonary surgery.
abstract: In 1983, the All-Wales Management Efficiency Group (All-Wales MEG) published a report on pre-operative chest radiography (POCR) and made recommendations about the use of POCR in district health authorities in Wales. The object of this paper is to describe experience within one Welsh authority, highlighting both perceived problems and the difficulties encountered in the implementation of these recommendations.
