10 top tips for primary care professionals
About our primary care top tips
Macmillan GP advisers have collaborated with members of the Macmillan primary care community to develop a '10 top tips' series of downloads. The PDFs below offer practical hints, tips and information on a variety of different primary care situations and scenarios.
We make every effort to ensure the information in these pages is accurate and correct at the date of publication, but it is of necessity of a brief and general nature, and this should not replace your own good clinical judgement, or be regarded as a substitute for taking professional advice in appropriate circumstances.
In particular check any drug doses, side-effects and interactions. Save insofar as any such liability cannot be excluded at law, we do not accept any liability in relation to the use of or reliance on any information contained in these pages, or third-party information or websites referred to in them.
