RACGP Green Book

RACGP Green Book

This 2nd edition of Putting prevention into practice: guidelines for the implementation of prevention in the general practice setting (the Green Book) has been created by a multidisciplinary team of experts for use by general practitioners, practice nurses and practice staff. The guidelines are intended to be a practical resource designed to strengthen prevention activities in general practice. The expert team has created an up-to-date prevention approach and identified effective prevention activities for general practice. The pressures of practice and the time constraints associated with patient consultations have been taken into account.

The companion documents, the RACGP Guidelines for preventive activities in general practice(6th edition) (‘red book’) and the NACCHO/RACGP National guide to a preventive health assessment in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, provide the evidence base for the clinical activities.
