Abstract
Previous studies have shown that written communication between hospitals and general practitioners could be improved. This study investigated whether communication problems exist between general practitioners and a community physiotherapist in primary care. Deficiencies were evident in the written referral information received by the physiotherapist. The general practitioners felt they would like to receive feedback information from the physiotherapist after treatment. The information needs of the general practitioners and community physiotherapist were only partly met, and possible improvements are discussed.
