Doing your locality study at the moment? Good news! We have added a new resource to the Locality folder in Blackboard. You can search it online by entering the name of your local GP surgery and it will produce charts comparing data on the prevelance of a range of diseases/conditions in that area with data for the local health board and the UK. It is based upon the data collected for the Quality and Outcomes Framework of the GP contract, and was produced by Gavin Jamie, a GP in Swindon who is interested in Health Informatics.
You will still need to try to collect data when you are on placement, but this should be a useful tool for you. Take a look at the site at: http://www.gpcontract.co.uk/
