General Practice Publication

Homeless people registered at a specialist surgery who had a mixture of chronic physical illness, mental disease , plus alcohol and/or drug dependence – referred to as ‘trimorbidity’ – were fourfold more likely to possess hit or miss hospital admission. The study, conducted during a specialist homeless practice in Brighton, showed that the three significant risk factors were enduring psychological state problems and/or mental disorder , gastrointestinal disease and alcohol dependence. Catherine Himsworth discusses the findings during this short video. Under the pressure of the Coronavirus epidemic in 2020 general practice shifted very quickly to remote working, something which had been progressing very slowly up to that point. In the Hurley Group Clare Gerada reported that "99% of all our work is now online" using a digital triage system linked to the patient's electronic patient record which processes up to 3000 consultations per hour.
