- Authors
Mant, David
- Abstract
The author reflects on the impact of Great Britain's National Health Service (NHS) policy on the enthusiasm of general practitioners (GPs) for prevention, health checks, and medical screening. Topics discussed include a study by M. Caley and colleagues on the impact of enthusiasm for health checks on the recognition of undiagnosed diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, the role of primary care, and the risk of cardiovascular disease.
