摘要：

Doctors' knowledge of socio-legal aspects of patient care is poor. To quantify this a questionnaire on certain socio-legal topics was sent to 400 general practitioners and 250 hospital doctors. The responses were compared to a group of social workers. Both hospital doctors and general practitioners did badly on all topics considered. Social workers' knowledge was significantly better overall, (P < 0.01). Our results confirm the lack of knowledge amongst a broad spectrum of doctors. We suggest that this may be related to a lack of emphasis on these aspects in both undergraduate and postgraduate education.
