The number of diabetes-related contacts was not higher in practices with or without a primary care nurse.
For a small charity like Surfers Against Sewage, with limited resources but an army of volunteers angry about ocean waste, the chance to be part of a global network sharing best practice and contacts was a "no-brainer" says project manager Dom Ferris.
An application for online written and asynchronous contacts was developed, implemented in clinical practice, and evaluated.
Multilevel modeling showed that 16% of the total variance in the number of GP contacts was related to the GP practice level, and that 84% occurred at the individual level (not tabulated).
Contact tracing was always practiced after a voluntarily reported case was confirmed and continued for 2 to 5 yearly visits, depending on the leprosy classification [ 14].
Data for East and West Lothian services were incomplete because care was provided by a number of general practices and contacts were not recorded consistently.
A total of 4,914 monthly reports, covering 4,558,682 patient contacts, were received from all participating practices during the five seasons, with 82 reports per month on average (median 81, IQR 80-84, range 78-88 reports).
