title: Management of haemachromatosis in general practice.
abstract: Between April 2002 and March 2007, there were 439 consultations where haemachromatosis was managed, occurring at about one in 1000 encounters. This suggests that GPs manage haemachromatosis on almost 100 000 occasions nationally each year.
