Physio Patient advice leaflets from BSUH

I am thinking developing things further.

What features of education will be useful for GPs?

What aspects of this website do you like?

What else would you like?

Link to the Brighton GP Referrals Section embedded within the Map of Medicine.

Detail of how to access are here on the PCT website

Click the "Feedback" button to let us know what you think of each page.

We initially used Dizziness as a referral pathway to learn how to use the Map.
Some background work is being done bringing together all the links and forms related GP referrals.
The Early Adopter Plan is being formulated.
It is also planned to move the hosting onto the www to allow access at home, and to allow individual logins to gain access to further features like personal notes.
See docs below for an idea of the plans and progress.

• The Map of Medicine (MoM) is software designed initially with clinicians at the Royal Free Hospital London to create Clinical pathways/guidelines.
• It is designed to be visual, consistent, to chunk information and to encourage feedback.
• It is structured to show the evidence-based and record the information governance behind pathways.
  
• It is now part of the National Program for IT, backed by the National Knowledge Service.
  
• They are working together with professional bodies (including many Royal Colleges) to accredit current pathways and plan new ones.
• So far they have created about 400 Evidence-Based National Clinical Pathways.

We have access to a local copy of these to "localise" for Brighton and & Hove if we wish.

There are two levels of localisation.

1. Local Admin Info  (such as adding local clinic times/contacts/leaflets at an appropriate part of a Pathway)
2. Clinical Localisation  (changing the clinical content or creating a whole new Pathway)

Interesting comments from Gene Watch (anyone know how reliable they are?)
"(vi) The appointment of Dr Walport to jointly run the consultation is inexplicable, given his ongoing role in lobbying for access to electronic medical record data by the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, including access to sensitive personal information in the ‘sealed’ and ‘sealed and locked’ envelopes of electronic medical records for research (contrary to the recommendations of the Health Select Committee)"

The Helsinki Declaration states: (22) “The subject should be informed of the right to abstain from participation in the study or to withdraw consent to participate at any time without reprisal”.

NICE guidance on 2WW. Good to refresh on symptoms/condition not all covered on the 2ww referral proformas

DoH Doc

As well as sharing information, another of my interests is Quality of Life.
I would like to start a chapter devoted to develop a better understanding of QoL and how to ensure improving/maintaining it as part of Health services.
Maybe we could assign Qool points to processes?.
