Abstract:

Background/aims Little is known regarding the impact that physiotherapists can have on patients in the emergency department. A study was carried out to explore attitudes of physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners in emergency departments about physiotherapists being staffed full-time to assist with patient care. It also aimed to investigate whether physiotherapists should be staffed in emergency departments, what they are capable of doing in an emergency department and identify areas where physiotherapists are most useful in emergency departments in the USA.

Background: Physiotherapists and general practitioners (GPs) both act as primary assessors for patients with musculoskeletal disorders in primary care. Previous studies have shown that initial triaging to physiotherapists at primary healthcare centres has advantages regarding efficiency in the work environment and utilization of healthcare. In this study, we aimed primarily to determine whether triaging to physiotherapists affects the progression of health aspects over time differently than traditional management with initial GP assessment.

Abstract Low back pain (LBP) is the leading contributor to years lived with disability, and imposes an enormous burden on individuals and on health-care systems. General practitioners and physiotherapists are generally the front-line health professionals dealing with patients with LBP, and have a key role in minimising its effect. Here we review six key issues associated with LBP including its effects, diagnosis and management in primary care, and highlight the importance of the biopsychosocial model and matched care for patients with LBP.

Abstract:

Background: Marketing communication and brand identity is a fundamental principle of advertising and end-user engagement. Health researchers have begun to apply this principle to trial recruitment in primary care. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether a Teaser Campaign using a series of postcards in advance of a conventional mail-out increases the number of primary care clinics that engage with a clinical trial. Methods: Embedded randomised recruitment trial across primary care clinics (general practitioners and physiotherapists) in the Sydney metropolitan area. Clinics in the Teaser C

For every 1000 SMI patients, diseases such as diabetes cause 10-20,000 ‘years of life lost’ compared to 4,000 ‘years of life lost’ to suicide. National charity Rethink dubbed the failure of the NHS to act on this as tantamount to “lethal discrimination”.We aim to reform the physical health care provision for service users under the care of Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust (AWP).MethodTo evaluate the current service within AWP, we combined data from

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Background In recent years, multidisciplinary rehabilitation (MDR) became an alternative treatment option for chronic non-cancer pain. MDR is mostly available in specialized pain units, usually at rehabilitation centers where the level of knowledge and therapeutically options to treat pain conditions are considered to be high. There is strong evidence that MDR in specialized pain units is affecting pain and improves the quality of life in a sustainable manner. There are few studies about MDR outcome in primary health care, especially in those units situated in rural areas and with a d

Abstract:

Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is an evidence-based, low-cost, non-medical treatment approach for patients with chronic respiratory diseases. This study aimed to start and assess the feasibility, acceptability and impact of a PR programme on health and quality of life of respiratory patients, for the first time in primary care in Crete, Greece and, particularly, in a low-resource rural setting. This was an implementation study with before–after outcome evaluation and qualitative interviews with patients and stakeholders. In a rural primary healthcare centre, patients with chronic obstructive pu
