    Abstract: There is anecdotal evidence of a plethora of guidelines developed throughout the NHS. A national survey was carried out between March and June 1995 to identify the number of clinical guidelines produced in the UK in the clinical areas of coronary heart disease, asthma, breast cancer, lung cancer and depression. The response to the survey ranged from 95% (interest groups) to 10% (Ministry of Defence and prison hospitals). Four hundred and seventy two guidelines were identified in the survey. Most had been produced locally, only 21 guidelines were classified as national. Results confirm that there is a proliferation of guidelines in most parts of the UK. The survey illustrates the difficulties involved in conducting a UK survey of this kind, and highlights the need for national guideline coordination.

    Understanding practice management: a qualitative study in general practice
    Emerald ; 1996
    In:  Journal of Management in Medicine Vol. 10, No. 5 ( 1996-10-01), p. 29-37

    In: Journal of Management in Medicine, Emerald, Vol. 10, No. 5 ( 1996-10-01), p. 29-37
    Abstract: Reports a qualitative study of practice managers’ roles and responsibilities in eight practices in the Grampian region of Scotland. Observes wide variations in the roles and responsibilities of managers associated with the size and fundholding status of the practice. Notes that larger practices had better developed management structures allowing the managers to delegate tasks and undertake a more proactive planning and executive role, and that medium and smaller practices had less well developed management structures and managers were more likely to act as practice administrators with limited autonomy. Concludes that practice managers are playing an increasingly important role in general practice. Also that the influential role of the practice manager in the development of practice policies and the transfer of administrative responsibilities from the partners to the manager have all contributed to a change in general practitioners’ perceptions of the practice manager.

    Towards Better Practice Management: A National Survey of Scottish General Practice Management
    Emerald ; 1994
    In:  Journal of Management in Medicine Vol. 8, No. 2 ( 1994-04-01), p. 56-64

    In: Journal of Management in Medicine, Emerald, Vol. 8, No. 2 ( 1994-04-01), p. 56-64
    Abstract: Surveys a 50 per cent sample of Scottish practices (stratified by health board area), concerning whether they had a practice manager and who had responsibility for practice management tasks. The overall response rate was 73 per cent, with 63 per cent of responding practices employed a practice manager. Reports the findings from practices employing a manager, and reveals marked variations in levels of managers pay and responsibility. The development of practice management structures varied with only 85 per cent of practices holding regular practice management meetings. The results suggest that practices which previously coped without a manager have recognized the need for one as the complexity of practice administration increases and that the traditional career path of managers involving internal promotion is changing.

    Disseminating and implementing guidelines: how feasible is it?

    In: Clinical Governance: An International Journal, Emerald, Vol. 9, No. 1 ( 2004-03-01), p. 8-10
    Abstract: Discusses the feasibility of disseminating and implementing guidelines in routine practice, informed by discussions with senior actors in the field of guidelines implementation. Comments about the lack of protected budgets to support guideline dissemination and implementation strategies and common strategies of using “soft money” or resources for specific initiatives to support such activities. The “opportunity costs” of strategies need to be considered. In addition there are implications for the implementation of the NHS information strategy. For clinical governance as a whole, not only is it likely that widespread cultural change is required, but also the capacity of the system still needs considerable expansion if sufficient educational activities are to become routine.
