Developing a User Reported Measure of Care Co-ordination
The growing focus on care co-ordination demonstrates the need for a tool that can capture the experiences of patients accessing care across organisational and professional boundaries, to inform the improvement of care co-ordination activities from a patient perspective. Early results suggest that our tool may have a contribution to make in these areas. However, more work is required to test the efficacy of the tool on a larger scale and in differ…
Cirrhosis and Primary Liver Cancer Amongst First Generation Migrants in England and Wales
Of public health concern is the excess mortality from cirrhosis in first generation immigrants to England and Wales from Scotland and Ireland (men and women) and in male migrants from India, Bangladesh and East Africa.

As well as promoting sensible drinking among immigrant men, specific preve…

Suicide patterns and trends in people of Indian subcontinent and Caribbean origin in England and Wales
This study confirms previous findings of high suicide rates in young Asian women. A new finding is the raised suicide rate in young Caribbeans. High suicide risks among young people from some ethnic minority communities are significant in the context of both the Health of the Nation strategy and recent governmental concern about the need to tackle health variations in the UK. Such deaths are indicative of larger numbers of young ethnic minority a…

The implications for population need for renal replacement therapy in these populations and for the development of renal services were also considered. DESIGN/SETTING: This was a cross sectional retrospective survey of all patients accep…
