Subject: [SwindonBathDRC] Paper for Wednesday
Dear All
I’m afraid we’ll be looking at the paper in this week’s BMJ primary Care section : Sickness Certification System in the UK…I have to apologise to everyone who, like me, hates qualitative papers – I’m a masochist at heart….

To you all,
now, I know you've all been looking forward to this....(like a hole in the head!)
the paper I shall be looking at on Wednesday 01/10/03 at the DRC is "Screening in brief intervention trials targeting excessive drinking in general practice: systematic review and meta-analysis" from BMJ 6 September 2003. www.bmj.com
enjoy! Anna
Each week on the DRC the first half hour will be spent discussing hot topics. To get the most out of these sessions, we suggest that you read:
- the last copy/copies of the BMJ - available on-line: http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/ (if you don't have time to read it all, pick out one or two papers that interest you)
- the last copy of the BJGP - now also available on-line: http://www.rcgp.org.uk/rcgp/journal/index.asp
Also be aware of current medical news stories. Most days there are medical issues that hit the headlines - everything from purported breakthroughs to scandals to ministerial pronouncements.
If your Course Organisers are talking about these topics, you can be sure that the MRCGP examiners will be asking about them as well!
