Patients' attitude towards trainees
Abstract
The results of a study of patients' attitudes towards trainees in a training practice are reported. Data were collected through a questionnaire administered to 258 patients over a period of two weeks. The majority view was that trainees give satisfactory care. However, a minority of patients (17 per cent) felt that trainees are not proper doctors and almost half did not want chronic illness managed by a trainee. Nearly a third did not find trainees easy to talk to.
