As part of a growing collaboration with Leicester Diabetes Centre, PRIMIS is pleased to be working on the D-Med Study. This important research aims to help clinical practice staff with prescribing responsibilities to reduce the proportion of potentially inappropriate diabetes medications prescribed in older people with type 2 diabetes and frailty.

 

 

MND project logo

click for details

Working with the MND Association, PRIMIS is developing a real time GP clinical system alert that will be triggered if clinical terms entered during consultation are considered indicative of MND when relevant terms pre-exist in the patient record. The alert will provide a template and further information to help steer the consultation to enable a suspected MND referral decision to be made.

The FLU-CAT study involves the real time refinement and validation of criteria and tools used in primary care to aid hospital referral decisions for patients of all ages in the event of a surge during an influenza pandemic.

PRoTeCT logo

click for details

The PRoTeCT study has been set up to evaluate the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of two different approaches to improving the safety of prescribing medicines in English general practices.

PINCER national roll out

click for details

Using a scaling and spread model, PINCER was rolled out to over 2,800 (41%) GP practices in England across all 15 AHSNs. Over 2,350 health care professionals were and just over 27 million patient records searched to identify instances of potentially hazardous prescribing.
