7th May - flu cascades
Over 500 replies to our survey! We've
passed on the results to the RCGP who have replied:
"Thank you for highlighting the
issue of locum GPs not being provided with adequate
information on H1N1 flu from their PCT/PCO.
The College is going to contact the Department of Health
and advise them to contact PCOs so that this matter can
be addressed."
Might be worthwhile repeating our
survey in a month to see if there's been an improvement.

2nd May 2009 - flu cascades
36 hours ago we launched a survey of
Sessional GPs to see how many had received a cascaded
flu pandemic alert from their 'host PCT'. So far, we've
had 363 replies:
- 81.8% of
locums had received NO alerts from their host PCT
- 42.1% of
Salaried GPs had received NO alerts from their host
PCT.
We'll be notifying
the DH/HPA etc of the outcome of the poll - and have
already alerted the RCGP's flu centre - to make sure
they realise the incompetence of PCTs in managing
clinical cascades (emergency or otherwise) for SGPs and
ask them to urgently rectify the situation.
If you haven't already done so, you
can take part in the poll at
www.nasgp.org.uk/flu.
