  Abstract

Patients under 15 years of age comprise around 20% of the average GP list and account for one in four GP consultations. School children visit the GP between two and three times a year, but this figure is doubled in the under fives (who visit the GP an average of 6 times per year). The under fives also have more home visits than any other group except the elderly. Children form an important part of a GP's workload and this article aims to give the GP in training a strategy with which to approach their assessment in the community.
