Thus although the regulatory body for UK physiotherapists [ 13] endorses the application of a bio-psychosocial model, many practitioners are not formally trained in all the component parts of this model [ 25- 27].
In the Cuban model medical practitioners are trained to practise CAM themselves [ 83].
This theorizing is also integrated into literature on HR policy and HR decision-making implications of the model for HR practitioners are discussed, and a set of future research directions are offered.
This model suggests that practitioners are not trained to be fit for purpose, resulting in inefficiencies and overtraining.
The model suggested that health practitioners are relying on seasonal environmental cues (rainfall) to supplement national and local policies when deciding to test patients.
But that policy in turn pushes the organization toward a core/periphery model, one that can, if practitioners are not careful, degenerate into a set of purely formal contractual relationships with all the outsiders.
Models of care where medical practitioners are gatekeepers of patient care rely in part on the knowledge and attitudes of the referring medical practitioners to establish health care teams.
General practitioners are willing to suggest a range of models but there is no clear preference.
Comments from practitioners are included.
(Solo practitioners are their own employer).
