ENT, Ophthalmology, alcohol and drug misuse

 

All GPs have a responsibility for providing general medical care to patients who use drugs and can help identify and intervene in drug misuse and its complications.

 

GPs must be familiar with screening for problem drinking and the brief interventions which can have a major impact on reducing alcohol consumption in patients. In addition they must have the requisite knowledge and skills for managing patients with alcohol related problems.

 

ENT and eye problems are a very common reason for a visit to the GP, so all GPs must be competent in managing these presentations.
