Survey of General Practitioners participating in the methadone treatment programme

摘要

This report carried out by the ICGP outlines the results from a postal survey to all GPs on the ICGP Drugs Misuse Database. The questionnaire was designed to explore GP attitudes to the Methadone Treatment Protocol (MTP) and what additional services might support GPs in their work with opiate users. It also aimed to explore levels of satisfaction with training received and to assess whether any obstacles or barriers exist to taking patients on the MTP.
