“…Although the doctor-patient relationship is said to have changed during recent years with the doctor becoming less authoritarian and the patient more autonomous (Lagerløv et al, 1998), empirical research indicates that partnership is often still lacking and paternalistic models of communication remain widespread (Law Reform Commission of Victoria, 1989;Case, 2000;Charles et al, 2000). This is reflective of the 'expert model' of professional practice (Cunningham & Davis, 1985), where the doctor's expertise provides legitimation of the authority for control over decision-making and patients have typically not been included in that decision-making process.…”

The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child acknowledges the right for children to express opinions about issues affecting them and the right to have these views heard (Davis, 1998) . There has been an increase in the number of international studies including children as informants in research, but there is noticeably less published research including children as informants in Australia if they have a disability. Rather, there has been a reliance on parents/carers for insight into their child's experiences. In this article we present the results of a qualitative pilot study where we interviewed parents and their children who have cerebral palsy about their perceptions and experiences of communicationin the medical consultation. We found that the views of children and parents were different, further reiterating the need to seek the perceptions of children as well as their parents.

“…The process of defining a diagnosis has many subjective elements 7 , and universally accepted diagnostic criteria are lacking. 8 Because asthma may fluctuate, diagnostic tests for asthma on a random day may be normal.…”

Describing drug treatment given by general practitioners, and quantifying changes in their prescribing behaviour due to educational intervention, were important parts of the method developed and applied by the European Drug Education Project. Based on the physicians' prescription data, individual patients were defined as having either asthma or urinary tract infections. Prescribing indicators were established for assessing the quality (acceptable or unacceptable) of the drug treatment. The diagnose definitions and prescribing indicators are discussed in more detail in relation to feeding back individual prescribing data to educational groups of physicians to improve the quality of their drug therapy.

“…Die Qualität der Patienten-Arzt-Kommunikation und -Interaktion ist für die Compliance und letztendlich den Therapieerfolg bestimmend [19,26]. Nicht auszuschließen ist, basierend auf unseren Ergebnissen, die Befürchtung, dass eine beim Arzt bestehende Zurückhaltung gegenüber der inhalativen Cortisontherapie u.U.…”
