Primary care quality digest

The probability that a disseminated document will arrive on someone’s desk the moment it is needed is infinitesimally small. Secondly, the probability that the same document will be found three months later, when it is needed, is even smaller.

Quality in Primary Care 15(4):p 253-256, 2007.

The aim of this new primary care quality digest is to bring to your attention recently published guidelines, reviews and papers related to issues of quality in primary care. The resources included in the Primary care quality digest have been selected from those produced by the Primary Care Current Awareness Service (PCCAS).

The PCCAS gathers together the latest information on health news, National Service Frameworks (NSFs), health service management, public health, health promotion, legal and parliamentary information, statistics and social care. The resources are produced by librarians and knowledge managers in Trent and South Yorkshire, with support from the Trent Improvement Network and the National Library for Health.

The PCCAS provides a range of bulletins and newsfeeds on its website, including the daily news bulletin, www.tin.nhs.uk/welcome/keeping-up-to-date/daily-news-bulletin, and a range of subject-based newsfeeds, www.tin.nhs.uk/welcome/keeping-up-to-date/rss-newsfeed-menu
