GPReview March 2009 Volume 13 Number 1
The March edition of GPReview looks at the
college's new government supported men's health initiative, the M5
Project; the different ways GPs will help people deal with the aftermath
of the recent natural disasters; how to run a more efficient practice;
GP management of childhood overweight and obesity; the new Active
Learning Module on facilitation skills; how ongoing education benefits
the practice team; a GPs' amazing story of treating the Queen of Sweden;
what we used as diuretics before the advent of frusemide; and how
doctors can help patients help themselves by teaching them correct
puffer technique.
