Permission to reproduce must be sought from the publisher, The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners.BACKGROUND: Learning needs analyses are often undertaken to plan continuing education programs. They usually use questionnaires that have shortcomings regarding validity, relevance, breadth and detail. We tested a questionnaire using four questioning strategies to approximately 1762 general practitioners. METHOD: Our questionnaire listing 104 topics asked open ended questions and specific information about desired topics. It was distributed by The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners and divisions of general practice in South Australia and the Northern Territory. RESULTS: The survey yielded 578 responses (33%). The different survey strategies highlighted different areas of learning need. Overall, the highest ranked topics were dermatology, complementary medicine, psychiatry, and business and practice management. Participating divisions were generally satisfied with the feedback. DISCUSSIONS: Despite a poor response rate, the survey provided interesting information, and a set of broad learning topics.J.A. Allan, D. Schaefer and N. Stock
