Dear All,
We hope our email finds you well.
We are doctors presently conducting research entitled ‘Knowledge of
autism amongst GPs and GP trainees and self-reported confidence in
working with autistic patients’ being supervised by Prof Anton
Grech. The aim of the study is to evaluate GP and GP trainees’
knowledge on autism and their confidence in working with autistic
patients. This research is in conformity with the ethical standards
set by the University of Malta Faculty of Medicine and Surgery Ethics
Committee.
We hope that through the results obtained in this study we can
identify any areas of knowledge as well as areas of concerns
highlighted by GPs and GP trainees. We also wish to work
collaboratively with General Practitioners on a lecture or informal
talk involving Autistic patients in the future.
We would be grateful if you could pass on the following email and
questionnaire linked below to your GP and GP trainee members. The
questionnaire should take between 5 to 10 minutes to complete.
We welcome any comments or feedback.
We look forward to continue working collaboratively for the betterment of our patients and their healthcare.
Kind Regards,
Dr Nicole Borg and Dr Emma Camilleri
