Lennon, J. O'Donovan, S. O'Donoghue, J. Fenton] Background: Diseases of the Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) make up a considerable proportion of the everyday workload of general practitioners (GPs). It is recognized that ENT makes up a very small part of the undergraduate curriculum, but some post-graduate training schemes are now offering placements in Otolaryngology. Aim: The aim of the study was to examine a perceived knowledge ‘gap' of GPs in the area of Otolaryngology. Method: A postal questionnaire was sent to 1,000 GPs distributed evenly throughout the country. Results: There was a 47.3% response rate; 72% of GPs felt that they would see at least three or more children with a relevant ENT problem each day. Almost 70% of GPs had less than a month exposure to ENT in medical school and 84% of GPs felt that further emphasis was required at the undergraduate level. Twenty-one per cent of GPs surveyed had spent some time in Postgraduate ENT training. Ninety-one per cent of GPs agreed that further emphasis on ENT training was required at the Postgraduate level. Conclusion: General Practitioners feel that increased importance should be placed on the study of Otolaryngology at both undergraduate and Postgraduate level.
