Abstract
The process of clinical development of a new drug has so far involved the general practitioner (GP) only to a very marginal extent. Obvious safety reasons and, at least in Italy, the law prevent the GP from taking a direct part in the first phases of clinical research; on the other hand, even after the introduction of a medicine onto the market, the general practitioner’s involvement is considered to be that of prescription rather than evaluation.
