To assess general practitioner (GP) referrals to an eye hospital, 500 consecutive referral letters were analysed for content, diagnosis, ocular examination, and medical and drug history. Inadequate information was provided. Visual acuity was measured by general practitioners in only 3.7% of referrals. The standard of ocular examination compared unfavourably with that of ophthalmic opticians. A standard ophthalmic referral form is proposed, and referral protocols are desirable. Undergraduate education in ophthalmology is inadequate and requires more curricular time.
为评估全科医生(GP)向眼科医院的转诊情况,对500封连续的转诊信进行了内容、诊断、眼部检查以及病史和用药史方面的分析。所提供的信息不足。全科医生仅在3.7%的转诊中测量了视力。眼部检查的标准与眼科验光师的标准相比欠佳。建议采用标准的眼科转诊表格,并且需要转诊协议。本科眼科教育不足,需要增加课程时间。
