In Primary Care great collaboration and co-operation is required between primary care physicians and laboratory staff to achieve effective use of resources. This book, written by a primary care physician, clinical biochemists, haematologists, histopathologists and a microbiologist, bridges a gap between general practice and the laboratory by providing a single reference text in an easy-to-use format. The first three chapters concentrate on the relationship between the primary care physician and the laboratory, discussing the role of primary care, workloads, laboratory service provision and interpretation of data. The remaining four chapters discuss the relevant aspects of the main pathology disciplines.
