A kako je onda s pacijentima, jel njih nešto košta ako dobiju zeleni karton, a 
svakako žele   danas dobiti uslugu  a ne pričekati svog GP?

oK – pročitali smo što i znamo : raste potražnja, većina nehitnih , podosta 
banalnih, mnogi /SVI/se hrvu s tim problemom ( na razne načine )  ... iz 
navedenog primjera GP pružaju tu skrb ( ok, imaju dispečera/trijažu, njih 40 na 
hrpi dijeli tu odgovornost ) .. ali ovaj primjer pokazuje kako GP Group pruža 
tu skrb  - nije jasno : za koga ( samo sa svojih lista ili svakome), van 
redovnog radnog vremena vrijeme  pa kaže The ABM GP Out of Hours Service 
operates from 6.30pm to 8am on weekdays, and all day on weekends and bank 
holidays. There is one number across Swansea, Neath Port Talbot and Bridgend to 
access this service: 0330 123 9180 (charged at local rates) – znači dežurstvo 
tih40ak je od 18,30 do 8,00 radnim danom te ALL DAY vikendom i praznicima ... ? 
 Tko financira ovaj način rada, jel dobrovoljan ?

Eh sad – kako mi nemamo u grupnoj još 2-3 liječnika, kako radimo 3 SVJETSKA 
STANDARDA, kako je i u nas trend porasta banalne potražnje, kako se ismijava 
svaki pokušaj educiranja pacijenata o samopomoći ( Vodič je npr. dočekan na nož 
– od medija i od nekih liječnika ) , kako mi teško da bi skupili 40 LOMova 
spremnih da kavu popiju zajedno a da  se mam ne posvade   kamoli da dijele 
dežurstva – OVAJ PRIMJER MI SE NE ČINI PRIMJENJIV U NAS . Ne znam kako vama 
drugima...

OK idemo dalje -  u Norveškoj OM radi u jednoj smjeni ( 8-15,30  ili do 17 uz 
pauzu za ručak ) , hitna služba ( au pari našem Zavodu za HM) radi samo odvoz u 
hitni prijam bolnica, postoji Legevakt ( nešto kao azas ?? koji radi 24 sata 7 
dana u tjednu, mogu raditi svi doktori s licencom, plaća se extra i pomama je 
za dobiti tamo angažman . U Legevaktu trijažiraju educirane sestre i dijele “ 
kartone” – crvene. žute , zelene ) .. pa kaže :

Out of hours primary care(rad van radnog vremena )-organiziran je na mnogo 
različitih načina diljem svijeta.

Za to vrijeme zdravstvenu zaštitu širom svijeta  osiguranici uglavnom 
koriste(ZLORABE) za neakutna,nehitna(non life treatening) stanja.Navedene su 
najčešće dijagnoze u osam zemalja EU.(na kraju)

Zaključak je da u vrijeme  teških ekonomskih izazova,starenja populacije i 
manjka doktora nije rješenje u sve složenijim out-of-hour organizacijama(npr

 pow emergency

Did you know that one in four patients who use the A&E Department in Morriston 
Hospital and the Emergency Department in the Princess of Wales Hospital don't 
actually need emergency care? This just adds to queues and makes waiting times 
longer for everyone. It also doesn't make the best use of emergency staff time 
or skills.

 

So if you have a non-urgent condition, please see your pharmacist or GP for 
help, or telephone NHS Direct Wales on 0845 4647.

 

Did you know your pharmacist offers many more services than simply dispensing 
medicines? See:  <http://www.wales.nhs.uk/sitesplus/863/page/50500> Make the

Minor Illness, When Should I worry?

CW blue plasterAntibiotics are used to treat infections caused by bacteria. 
Coughs, colds and sore throats are usually caused by viruses and antibiotics 
have no effect on viruses.

 

When viruses infect your respiratory system (nose, throat and chest) they can 
cause any or all of these symptoms:Sneeze

·     Runny or stuffy nose              

·     Coughing

·     Sore throat

·     Sneezing

·     Watery eyes

·     Headache

·     Body aches

·     Fever

·     Chills

·     Tiredness

It is normal for the symptoms of a viral infection to last up to 14 days or 
longer

 

Remember antibiotics won’t make a viral illness get better faster. 

 

Usually viral infections just need to run their course. Normally it is best to 
wait and watch and to ask your local Pharmacist for advice on how to manage the 
symptoms.

 


When should I see the doctor? Here are some tips on when you should think about 
seeing a doctor:


 

When to Worry about Sore Throats

The time to worry about a sore throat and to visit your doctor is if you have 
any or a combination of the following:

·     If you or your child has a sore throat and a temperature of 38 degrees or 
above

·     If you or your child has a sore throat and you can see pus in the throat

·     If you or your child has a sore throat but no cough lasting more than 3 
days

·     If you or your child has a sore throat and swollen glands

·     If you or your child has a sore throat and difficulty swallowing spit or 
unable to swallow food or drink

·     If you or your child has a sore throat and difficulty breathing

When to worry about coughs

The time to worry about a cough and to visit your doctor is if you have any or 
a combination of the following:

·     If you already have asthma or COPD

·     If the cough has gone on longer than 3 weeks

·     If the your baby cannot eat, sleep or drink because of coughing

·     Coughing with difficulty breathing or with chest pain

·     Coughing with wheezing

·     Cough with a temperature of 38 degrees or above

·     Coughing up blood

·     Coughing up mucus that is discoloured or thicker than usual particularly 
if you also have COPD

When to Worry about Ear Pain

You should visit you doctor if you or your child has ear pain, a temperature of 
38 degrees or above  and/or any discharge coming from the ear, which lasts more 
than 2 days. 

 

When to worry about Fever

You should visit your doctor if you or your child has a fever lasting more than 
2 days and it is not improving.

In particular with children with a fever if you have measure their temperature 
and

·     Your child is younger than 3 months and has a fever of 38°c or higher

·     Your child is 3-6months old and has a fever of 39°c or higher

·     Your child is 6 months or older with a fever of 39.4° c or higher

 

See the doctor about any symptoms that are not getting better after 14 days

 

For more information particularly if you have children who are unwell you can 
refer to the “when should I worry” booklet

Diagnostic Scope in Out-of-hours Primary Care Services in Eight European 
Countries


An Observational Study

Abstract and Introduction


Abstract


Background: In previous years, out- of-hours primary care has been organised in 
large-scale organisations in many countries. This may have lowered the 
threshold for many patients to present health problems at nights and during the 
weekend. Comparisons of out-of-hours care between countries require 
internationally comparable figures on symptoms and diagnoses, which were not 
available. This study aimed to describe the symptoms and diagnoses in 
out-of-hours primary care services in regions in eight European countries.


Results: The age distribution of patients showed a high consistency across 
countries, while the percentage of males varied from 33.7% to 48.3%. The ICPC 
categories that were used most frequently concerned: chapter A 'general and 
unspecified symptoms' (mean 13.2%), chapter R 'respiratory' (mean 20.4%), 
chapter L 'musculoskeletal' (mean 15.0%), chapter S 'skin' (mean 12.5%), and 
chapter D 'digestive' (mean 11.6%). So, relatively high numbers of patients 
presenting with infectious diseases or acute pain related syndromes. This was 
largely consistent across age groups, but in some age groups chapter H ('ear 
problems'), chapter L ('musculoskeletal') and chapter K ('cardiovascular') were 
frequently used. Acute life-threatening problems had a low incidence.

Conclusions: This international study suggested a highly similar diagnostic 
scope in out-of-hours primary care services. The incidence rates of acute 
life-threatening health problems were low in all countries.

A consistent finding across countries was that the large majority of patients 
presented at primary out-of-hours care settings with non-acute, 
non-life-threatening health problems. Data on urgency assessment, which were 
available for six countries, supported this impression. Research on 
self-referring patients at A&E departments and GP cooperatives has shown 
similar results. 

The high proportion of non-life-threatening health problems presented poses 
serious questions for policy makers, particularly in a time of economic 
challenges, an ageing population, and expected shortages of health care 
professionals. The trend towards larger organisations for out-of-hours care is 
unlikely to be reversed, but managing the increasing patient demand is a 
crucial challenge. A previous cross national survey showed that a large 
diversity of organisational models for out-of-hours care exists.[11] 
<javascript:newshowcontent('active','references');>  International studies can 
provide relevant information for policy makers in the ongoing discussion and 
the reforming of the organisation of out-of-hours primary care.
