This was the first Australian study investigating acceptability, feasibility and sustainability of a nurse‐led model chronic disease management in general practice. A concurrent mixed‐methods design used within 12‐month intervention care three practices. Adult patients with type 2 diabetes, hypertension and/or stable ischaemic heart were randomized into or standard care. Semi‐structured interviews explored perceptions key stakeholders towards this including arm, all practice staff pre‐...
The Australian government’s commitment to health service reform has placed general practice at the centre of its agenda manage chronic disease. Concerns about capacity GPs meet growing disease burden stimulated implementation and testing new models care that better utilise nurses (PN). This paper reports on a mixed-methods study nested within larger trialled feasibility acceptability model nurse-led management in three practices.

There are 127,000 people living with Parkinson's in the UK. The condition is particularly prevalent among older people, and ageing UK population means this number expected to rise.
Health planners and epidemiologists have begun to use spatial analysis Geographic Information Systems (GIS) explore socioeconomic inequalities that can affect population health. In particular, the of area-based composite indices, also known as deprivation has been effective at incorporating multiple indicators into an analysis. We used GIS-based Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) create a weighted index health service need, explored standardization step in MCDA within geovisualization...
