This workshop arose from a meeting at the DHSS stimulated by Dr. Peter Pritchard in July 1980 between officers of the DHSS who were interested and involved in management and general practice, the King's Fund and Dr. Pritchard. The aim of the workshop was to identify some of those who were active in the field of management education in primary care, so that they could have an opportunity to exchange views and experiences. The report discusses courses for GPs, practice managers, medical secretaries and receptionists ; team development in primary health care and resources available for management education.
