THE GENERAL PRACTICE PERSPECTIVE ON BARRIERS TO INTEGRATION BETWEEN PRIMARY AND SOCIAL CARE: A LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM-BASED QUALITATIVE INTERVIEW STUDY

The general practice perspective on barriers to integration between primary and social care: a London, United Kingdom-based qualitative interview study

Objective There is an ongoing challenge of effective integration between primary and social care in the United Kingdom; current systems have led to fragmentation of services preventing holistic patient-centred care for vulnerable populations.To improve clinical outcomes and achieve financial efficiencies, the barriers to integration need to be iden

On the influence of topographic, geological and cryospheric factors on rock avalanches and rockfalls in high-mountain areas

The ongoing debate about the effects of changes in the high-mountain cryosphere on rockfalls and rock avalanches suggests a need for more knowledge about characteristics and distribution of recent rock-slope instabilities.This paper investigates 56 sites with slope failures between 1900 and 2007 in the central European Alps with respect to their ge

Estimating long-term survival temperatures at the assemblage level in the marine environment: towards macrophysiology.

Defining ecologically relevant upper temperature limits of species is important in the context of environmental change.The approach used in the present paper estimates the relationship between rates of temperature change and upper temperature limits for survival in order to evaluate the maximum long-term survival temperature (Ts).This new approach
