When it comes to behavior, professionals who work in primary care medical settings with children are most often oriented toward diagnosing abnormal conditions. Yet the great majority of concerns... More > expressed by caregivers about their children's behavior are of mild or moderate severity; they do not meet the definition of any DSM-IV disorder that can be diagnosed and treated.
This book, written by two clinicians who have worked for many years in primary care, suggests that health care professionals should view children's behavior as a spectrum where normal conflicts shade into problems and then disordered behavior, rather than making a categorical judgment about whether symptoms being presented by the caregiver are severe enough to diagnose and treat as an abnormal condition.
In this book, how temperament and behavioral dysfunction are related, and how professionals in primary care should approach problems in adjustment are considered and recommendations for improving the care of children are suggested.< Less
The report, which was prepared by the Nuffield Trust for the National Association of Primary Care (NAPC), looks at the arguments for encouraging and enabling general practices to take a much more... More > proactive role in improving the health and wellbeing of their local populations, as well as their individual patients.
It also draws on analysis of routine data from a notional general practice of 10,000 patients and a series of interviews conducted with GPs and practice managers who are participating in the NAPC’s newly-established Practice Innovation Network, which brings together staff from GP practices to develop and test out new approaches to population health management.< Less
A national study into how decisions about NHS resource allocation have been made by primary care trusts (PCTs) has been carried out by the Nuffield Trust, and the Health Services Management Centre at... More > the University of Birmingham. The financial challenge facing the NHS in the coming years will mean difficult decisions will have to be made about how and where NHS resources are used. The proposed new clinical commissioning groups can learn from the experiences of PCTs in relation to priority setting.
A summary document has also been produced, containing additional commentary by the Nuffield Trust.

The great thing about sharing materials is that it means that later, when I’m gone, the stories, songs and verses that I’ve enjoyed sharing with my own classes might still be doing the... More > rounds. Perhaps it could even occur prior to that; I do love hearing another class singing a verse I’ve penned years before.
All of the materials here have been written for the classroom, and have been tried and tested there. This doesn’t mean they will work for you, but if you are careful, and pick out what really appeals to you, then I expect things will turn out all right. Really, the trick is to use a verse or story only as the starting point, and to tap into your own creativity, which will be much more useful and relevant for your own classes and circumstances. Some notes are attached to each piece to help them become more useful, but ignore these as it suits you.< Less
