It is written for local authorities but may also be useful for the inquisitive patient. It describes what GPs can do to assist, and what GPs can't do. It covers ways you might wish to approach a problem you are trying to solve where you think GP input may be helpful.
SCHOOLS

It is written for schools and parents/carers. It describes what the GP can and can't do, as well as ways a school or parent might approach a problem they are facing which they feel needs GP input.
