Results of a survey of cardiovascular risk factor prevalence amongst health care workers. The Executive Committee of SHARP--(Scottish Heart and Arterial Risk Prevention).
Summary analyses of screening data were used to ascertain the cardiovascular risk profile in a sample of health care workers in Scotland. A sample of NHS staff (298 women and 78 men) were screened during visits to Perth Royal Infirmary (PRI) in 1996 and 1997. Comparisons were made within subsets and with previous screening studies. Health care workers have been a neglected component of the workforce for receiving education about risk factors. The high prevalence of smokers found in this sample should be a cause for concern.
Designing for patients.
In February 1992, Health Services Management (HSM) readers were invited to submit details of a proposed project that needed a designer. HSM teamed up with design consultants, the PDI Group, which offered 10,000 pounds-worth of design and project management to the reader submitting the most challenging design problem. Such was the quality of the entrants that two prizes were awarded, divided equally between The Eric Burden Community Unit at Littlemore Hospital, Oxford, and the Perth Royal Infirmary Community Unit project.
Casualty and surgical services in Perthshire general practitioner hospitals 1954-84.
The results are reported of a study of casualty and surgical services in five general practitioner hospitals in Perthshire - Aberfeldy, Auchterarder, Blairgowrie, Crieff and Pitlochry. Details of the total workload, the nature of the conditions treated and the referral rate to major hospitals are given. Figures for the Royal Infirmary, Perth, the main referral hospital for the county, are also given for comparison. The surgical service at one of the rural hospitals is described.Experience has demonstrated the usefulness of these hospitals in providing casualty and surgical services to both the local population and to visitors, and their superiority in providing these services over health centres because staff and beds are available 24 hours a day.Rural general practitioner hospitals merit a continuing share of resources and bed allocation as they spare major hospitals surgical and medical work. The general practitioners serving the hospitals studied here undertook almost 40% of the total accident and emergency workload in the Perth and Kinross area of Scotland.
