I have been fortunate in obtaining a Primary Care Enterprise Award which allows me to take a day out of practice a week for the project. I hope to complete an MD thesis on the main project - eventually. I am conducting the project at the School of Health Policy and Practice, University of East Anglia, under the supervision of Prof Ian Harvey, Professor of Clinical Epidemiology and Public Health. My other interests include mental health, pain, musculoskeletal medicine, and low back pain. These areas, as all attuned practitioners discover, are inextricable.
Macs are better - no doubt about it.
I am a partner in in an interesting spot in Suffolk which provides for much variety in practice. Suffolk has seven PCGs. The clinicians on our PCG board are 7 GPs and 2 nurses. The clinical governance leads are a GP and a nurse. The East Anglian Faculty of The Royal College of General Practitioners has recognised the value of GPs and Public Health Doctors working together.
