I have been actively involved in primary care research and audit since 1981.
My main arease of current interest are:
- Asthma diagnosis
- Uncontrolled asthma exacerbations, and severe asthma
- Detecting uncontrolled COPD patients
- management of COPD Exacerbations
- Occupational asthma
Unscheduled attendance at general practice surgeries for asthma episodes (The UNSAFE Audit) The overall aim of this project is to provide clinicians with a facility to audit and compare their care of patients presenting with uncontrolled asthma.
What is it?
This is an internet-based international audit, located on a secure server, with password protected access to their own data for those participating as well as public access to anonymised data. This provides a benchmarking system for practices (or individual GPs or nurses) to compare their management of unscheduled asthma attendances by patients. This process enables health care professionals to implement changes to their practice where appropriate when comparing their indicators with those of others as well as the international GINA (www.ginasthma.org) Guidelines.
