Abstract
A questionnaire survey undertaken among general practitioner registrars in North Thames in 1998 revealed significant deficiencies in their child protection training. A minority expressed confidence at the prospect of dealing with child protection cases in the future. A new, interactive training package was subsequently developed and delivered to a sample of GP registrars in Northeast Thames in 1999. Preliminary evaluation confirmed that the new training material was sensitive to the needs of recipients and levels of perceived confidence with participation in child protection work were increased. Further work is needed to develop the package and to oversee its successful incorporation into general practitioner vocational training. Copyright ยฉ 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
