On the left is a list of 11 'topics' which, hopefully, are useful for GPs . These tend to be the ones which I am asked the most questions about!
What I have attempted to do for each topic is to explain some of the basics and then put it all together in the form of a flowchart. The flowcharts seem to be the easiest way to remember what to do. Print these off, download them, add to them, I don't mind, as long as they are handy for use!
Please note, this information is not meant to be a textbook. So, it doesn't contain everything! By all means do have a look at the textbooks as well. Also note the disclaimer to this site
For local (Rotherham) GPs I have provided a link to up to date information on the tests available from the laboratory with specimen requirements and reference ranges.
