Avoiding FODMAPS can help a patient experience fewer symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits. Understanding which foods have FODMAPS, however, is complex.

Contact us and share your opinionWhat do you think is the best primary care paediatric resources? In my experience, I have yet to find a complete resource that beats the paediatric pearls website. Click image to watch the video Created by Dr Julia Thompson and her team, based in London working for the NHS, paediatric pearls regularly produce and update paediatric newsletters for both primary care (general practice) and emergency medicine. In addition, they collate guidelines for condition management and referral guidance for most paediatric conditions. As a result, paediatric pearls is an excellent resource for helping with your continuous professional development (CPD/ CME) especially for GP trainees (AiT).

Contact us and share your opinionHello eGPlearners,  in this news update- covering the big stories for primary care over the past week…. lets tech-enhance your primary careIf the first time we are meeting Im Dr Gandalf of eGPlearning where I look at supporting you with technology-enhanced primary care and learning so don't forget to subscribe and ring the bell to be the first to get notified of all these updates. https://egplearning.co.uk/Let us startGP partnership reviewThis piece of the future of General practice was released on Monday 14.1.19 as led by Nigel Watson with seven recommendations at the heart of the review. Recommendation 1: There are significant opportunities that should be taken forward to reduce the personal risk and unlimited liability currently associated with GP partnerships. Recommendation 2: The number of General Practitioners who work in practices, and in roles that support the delivery of direct patient care, should be increased and funded. Recommendation 3: The capacity and range of healthcare professionals available to support patients in the community should be increased, through services embedded in partnership with general practice. Recommendation 4: Medical training should be refocused to increase the time spent in general practice, to develop a better understanding of the strengths and opportunities of primary care partnerships and how they fit into the wider health system. Recommendation 5: Primary Care Networks should be established and operate in a way that makes constituent practices more sustainable and enables partners to address workload and safe working capacity, while continuing to support continuity of high quality, personalised, holistic care. Recommendation 6: General practice must have a strong, consistent and fully representative voice at system level. Recommendation 7: There are opportunities that should be taken to enable practices to use resources more efficiently by ensuring access to both essential IT equipment and innovative digital services.From a digital perspective recommendation 7 is key. Updating systems and allowing innovation must happen, Digitising records would be a major support to practices and help to tackle another uncosted area on subject access requests. Taking this burden away from partners would be very useful. Also working better with statutory organisations for reports for DWP and DVLA would be helpful and reduce considerable administrative burdens on practices. In this past week I have done three reports for the same patient all relating to the DWP- one unified system would reduce unnecessary workload. Updating our IT infrastructure and policies more in line with consumer tech is also a must. Tackling the ‘computer says no’ mentality due to a reliance on legacy IT would allow primary care to truly innovate, and I eagerly await the day I do not have to use internet explorer 8 in practice. Many will know I have been critical of the interim review which was published last year. The final review is, however, a good document that identifies the challenges facing partnership and also commends the positive impact the partnership model has in primary care. Several of the recommendations are high quality and call on other pieces of work to deliver an improvement for partnership in practice- particularly the call for a sort out of indemnity and the premises review. I do still feel strongly that a key piece lacking is a direct request to increase the global sum funding for practices, as this would significantly and rapidly improve the partnership the workload impact for partners and attract more staff making it more viable and sustainable. I do still see this as a major omission of the review which is in the terms of reference. It should have been requested and using the long term plan as the vehicle to suggest increased funding does not directly help as this still r

Contact us and share your opinionHello eGPlearners,  in this news update- covering the big stories for primary care over the past week…. lets tech-enhance your primary careIf the first time we are meeting Im Dr Gandalf of eGPlearning where I look at supporting you with technology-enhanced primary care and learning so don't forget to subscribe and ring the bell to be the first to get notified of all these updates. https://egplearning.co.uk/Let us startLong term planCalled the 10year plan or 10YLTP released on 7.1.19. This video is a review of the executive summary, as the full document is 136 pages long as will take some time to digest. What are the headline points?https://www.longtermplan.nhs.uk/online-version/overview-and-summary/Split into seven chapters. Chapter 1Spend an increased amount of funds on bringing successfully implemented changes to healthcare of care to other areas. Right to digital GP consultations. (doesn't say video). Focus on networks of practices (likely to be called either neighborhoods or PCNs) to deliver care in communities for primary, community and social care to prevent hospital admissions. Focus on social prescribing, personal health budgets and the voluntary sector. Guarantee of a greater rate of funding for the first time ever under a Tory government for primary care using the previously announced £4.5b for community care by 2023/4.Shift away from hospital-based care for both outpatients (maybe video consultations for outpatient to reduce infrastructure costs like estates/parking etc). Video Consultations in primary care:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jw0ehthmFN0Focus on urgent treatment centres instead of emergency departments and same day discharge from acute wards. Chapter 2Prevention. Focus on prevention ie stop smoking, obesity programme, supporting reducing alcohol - much of this seems public health territory no longer funded by local councils - sharing the costs or shuffling the money? Focus on deprived groups with outcomes like smoking rates in pregnancy, learning disabled /autistic patients and homeless patients to name a few based on locally supported programmes. Chapter 3.This identifies priorities for care quality and improvements, particularly on mental health. Focus on cancer survival, maternity-related deaths, increasing planned (elective surgery) and ring-fenced funds for mental health (2.3bn a year by 2023/4)Chapter 4Looking at Workforce, reintroducing training budgets for health education England (taken away in recent reforms) and a workforce implementation plan for later this year. Increased funding for nursing training and routes into training including recruitment from overseas. Also new roles with a focus on professional development especially in primary care based on networks. Chapter 5 Details the focus on technology including digital access for all, interoperability of data and use of new technology like AI. This chapter will be covered in more detail in our in-depth look later in the month. Chapter 6Looks at changes to the financial structure of the NHS to maintain funding increases to prevent challenges in the future including various efficiencies ie saving £700m in administrative costs. Chapter 7The final chapter explained the implementation of the plan including legislative changes to enable rapid implementation. It recommends changes to: create publicly-accountable integrated care locally; to streamline the national administrative structures of the NHS, and remove the overly rigid competition and procurement regime applied to the NHS. This includes the shift to integrated care system models by 2021.5y GP training Straight from med school - pilot not really 5y as same time in training just different spread http://www.pulsetoday.co.uk/news/gp-topics/education/five-year-gp-based-training-could-start-in-2021-says-nhs-england-adviser/20038049.articleMan shots GP with a cr

Contact us and share your opinionMust own GP app- Nottinghamshire LMC appHi #eGPlearners , with millions of apps out there how do you know which ones you should use. Try one of my top 5 apps as a must own GP app- the Nottinghamshire LMC app. Watch the video here and do not forget to subscribe to be the first to see future episodes. #TipThursdayThe Nottinghamshire LMC app in my view is a must own GP app. It contains multiple resources useful for any GP at any stage of their career.  Linking to BMA resources means that although Nottinghamshire centric, the app is relevant to GPs in any geographic location. This includes a guidance section which is kept up to date, resources for partners, trainees, practice managers, and sessional GPs. The app contains useful news links and contact details including local LMC events (Nottinghamshire focused). The SHOP library allows you to share experience and innovation while the services section links to valuable resources offered by the LMC. Finally, the Wellbeing section is diverse with multiple resources, tools, and links to financial, mental health, well-being, support and self-development help. I find this a truly useful app with multiple resources. One development could be to enhance reporting like the BEAM to LMC app offered by the Londonwide LMC. Take a look and download the app from the link here. Subscribe to or follow the eGPlearning platform for more videos, app reviews and content to support technology-enhanced primary care and learning.Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/Egplearning/Twitter – https://twitter.com/egplearningWebsite – https://egplearning.co.uk/Support: https://patreon.com/egplearning
