Abstract

The characteristics of general practitioners in the west of Scotland who are high attenders at meetings accredited for the postgraduate education allowance were studied. One hundred and seventy one principals in general practice (9.5%) had attended more than 35 half-day sessions of accredited education between 1 April 1989 and 31 December 1990 and 34 doctors (1.9%) had attended more than 45 half-day sessions. The highest percentage of the doctors worked in Greater Glasgow and Lanarkshire. The doctors who were high attenders were relatively more likely to be women, to be members of the Royal College of General Practitioners and to work in a training practice. The majority of the doctors had been qualified for between 10 and 30 years and worked in group practices of three or more doctors. The characteristics of high attenders contrast markedly to doctors who are low attenders. That there were such a large number of high attenders at educational meetings is encouraging.
