Transferts de tâches entre professionnels de santé dans les soins primaires au Royaume-Uni et enseignements de la littérature internationale
Avec la loi sur les assurances maladie, qui a pris effet au 1er janvier 2006, les Pays-Bas ont mis en place un système d’assurances maladie privatisé mais fortement encadré. S’il n’est pas encore possible de mesurer les effets de cette réforme sur la maîtrise des dépenses de santé, on peut, à partir d’une analyse secondaire de premiers travaux néerlandais disponibles, tenter un premier bilan de cette nouvelle assurance-maladie. En termes d’univer…
Defining Comorbidity
Comorbidity is associated with worse health outcomes, more complex clinical management, and increased health care costs. There is no agreement, however, on the meaning of the term, and related constructs, such as multimorbidity, morbidity burden, and patient complexity, are not well conceptualized. In this article, we review definitions of comorbidity and their relationship to related constructs. We show that the value of a given construct lies i…
Patient preferences in randomised controlled trials
Governmentality by Network in English Primary Healthcare
In England, the quality of clinical work is being regulated in new ways following recent developments in “clinical governance” policy and apparent failures in the previous system of medical self‐regulation. Using multiple case studies, this paper examines how these changes are affecting professional governmentality and discipline in general practice. Formal organizational structures play little role in clinical governance there. Clinical quality …
A subtle governance
In many countries governments are recruiting the medical profession into a more active, transparent regulation of clinical practice. Consequently the medical profession adapts the ways it regulates itself and its relationship to health system managers changes. This paper uses empirical research in English Primary Care Groups (PCGs) and Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) to assess the value of Courpasson's concept of soft bureaucracy as a conceptualisatio…
User involvement in clinical governance
Objectives To investigate the involvement of users in clinical governance activities within Primary Care Groups (PCGs) and Trusts (PCTs). Drawing on policy and guidance published since 1997, the paper sets out a framework for how users are involved in this agenda, evaluates practice against this standard and suggests why current practice for user involvement in clinical governance is flawed and why this reflects a flaw in the policy design as muc…
Solving inequities in provider distribution
The distribution of primary health care professionals in England and Wales is inequitable, with relatively lower concentrations of professionals in deprived areas. The objective of the present study was to determine whether graduate health professionals would be willing to work in under-served areas in return for educational loan repayment. The study group consisted of a convenience sample of 50 newly qualified and trainee general practitioners, …
Citizens’ expectations and likely use of a NHS Walk‐in Centre
Objectives To find out which groups of people would use a National Health Service walk‐in centre that would offer mainly health care advice, staffed by nurses. To understand the circumstances in which people would use a walk‐in centre and to ascertain to what extent it would meet patients’ expressed health‐care needs. Design A postal survey of 2400 people plus 27 semi‐structured interviews and one focus group. Setting and participants The study w…
Imbalances in the GP Labour Market in the UK
There is concern that the UK general practitioner (GP) workforce has declined relative to the expanding needs of a primary care-led NHS. Much of the debate about possible solutions within the profession and amongst medical workforce planners has focused on the need to raise medical school intakes and recruit more new GPs. However, other evidence shows that, as with medicine in general, a differential relationship exists in the GP labour market ba…
Inter-disciplinary working in British primary care teams
This paper argues that the current trends in Britain towards larger, multidisciplinary, primary healthcare teams is without a solid evidence base and potentially threatens the overall cost-effectiveness of the healthcare system. In developing this argument the factors driving skill mix change and the effects on primary care team structure are summarized, and consideration is given as to what evidence exists to support the cost-effectiveness of th…
The effect of a direct payment or a lottery on questionnaire response rates
Postal questionnaires are frequently used in research. 2] Few trials have evaluated direct payment compared with lotteries. 3

International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (Isaac)
The aetiology of asthma and allergic disease remains poorly understood, despite considerable research. The International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC), was founded to maximize the value of epidemiological research into asthma and allergic disease, by establishing a standardized methodology and facilitating international collaboration. Its specific aims are: 1) to describe the prevalence and severity of asthma, rhinitis and ec…
Measuring Patient Satisfaction With Life in a Long-Stay Psychiatric Hospital
A survey of patient satisfaction with physical and social conditions was carried out in the long-stay wards of a large inner city psychiatric hospital in London, Britain. Patient satisfaction was assessed by means of an administered questionnaire which was developed specifically for this purpose. Factor analysis identified eight com ponents of patient satisfaction. Of 143 eligible patients, 104 (73%) successfully completed the interview. Response…
