RESUMO
Junior hospital doctors from different medical schools were asked about their experience of the Problem Orientated Medical Record. Few had been introduced to this method of writing notes by their teachers when they were undergraduates, though more had learned about it from other sources. The majority of those with experience of the method found it preferable to the more conventional one. The advantages and disadvantages of the method are discussed and it is suggested that a less rigid format might make it more acceptable. This can be achieved by writing follow-up notes in the usual way and using the problem orientated approach only when the patient is assessed for the first time or when information is passed from one team of doctors to another.

General practitioners in the Northampton area were asked to assess the various meetings of a programme of continuing education they had attended between May 1969 and May 1970. Analysis of their replies suggests that meetings which depend on previous study and encourage participation are most likely to be successful.

A survey of hospital junior doctors made in 1967-8 showed that there were many features of their work with which they were not content. These included career prospects, hours of work, and salaries. It is suggested that reorganization of the career structure and the provision of better-organized ancillary help would do much to improve the lives of hospital junior doctors.
