Research was conducted to examine the knowledge of elder abuse by British general medical practitioners (GPs) in an inner London, England-borough and their experiences of the problem. Respondents included 73 GPs which shows a 68% response rate. They were asked about 20 instances of elder abuse and neglect. Results demonstrate that 84% had an elderly patient in each situation.
