Abstract: | The aim of this study was to assess which patients are referred from general practice, in order to target areas in which our service could be improved. An anonymous postal questionnaire was sent to 433 local general practitioners (GPs), 72.3% (313) of whom replied. The majority of GPs indicated that they would always send patients with a diagnosis of either gonorrhoea or syphilis to the department, while most would send less than 50% of patients with Chlamydia trachomatis infection. Viral infections (i.e. warts and herpes) were referred more frequently than chlamydia. Referral of trichomoniasis was uncommon, as was advice about contacts in all conditions except gonorrhoea and syphilis. |
