Abstract
SUMMARYA two‐week prospective study was undertaken to assess the quality and content of referral letters from the primary care services to an inner city accident and emergency department. It was found that the majority of letters fell short of commonly accepted minimum standards. A comparison was also made between letters from general practice principals and deputising service doctors. Recommendations for improvement in written communication are discussed.
