Dear Rog,
Why can I can never tell when you are being serious?! More emoticons
please (-:
My understanding was that 450/day was intended to cover locum costs,
plus a small honorarium and that the additional expenses mentioned were
for travel. I have pushed hard for this and I think it is fair
remuneration. Your particular expertise may be something they would want
to pay more for, but probably not as part of a BPPDG. Ask Lin Horley

BPPDGs may do some good and they may not, but if GPs do not attend then
we will never know. In that event, plans for the way we delivery primary
care will be designed in our absence and I imagine the whole thing will
go belly up. Non attendance, given what you know, is input in itself.

Dear Laurie
I might be prepared to add my not inconsiderable experience and know-how
to this scheme if I thought that it would do any good but at a price. I
would want £1000 per day plus locum costs. Alternatively IDX could
employ me as a consultant (well I do have a pretty good idea how they
can achieve this thing - and they do not)and pay me handsomely to tell
them how to get any where with this. In fact on second thoughts I don't
believe that me and other GPs sitting on a best practice group will
achieve anything at all. Love Rog

per day
Dear All,
There has been much talk about the lack of consultation with primary
(and secondary) care in the planning and implementation of NCRS. I have
attended some of the Best Practice Design Groups in London and had hoped
that these would be a springboard to start useful debate, but sadly the
GP attendance at these groups has been staggeringly low. Of the two
workstreams I attended I was the ONLY GP and was painfully aware that in
my absence plans were being proposed for redesigning the workflow
through primary care in the absence of any GP input at all! The main
reasons for the poor attendance have been lack of adequate remuneration
to provide an incentive for GPs to absent their busy practices, and the
fact that workshops have been put on at ludicrously short notice. One of
the groups which has been deliberately scheduled to run later in the
programme (September) is the Primary Care BPPDG, which by its nature
will overlap with much of the work which has already been started. We
have been trying to hammer home the message to NPfIT about the
importance of getting GPs into this forum and I have been asked to
distribute this invitation to GP lists. Rather than attach a document I
have included the text in this message (below). This is primarily aimed
at London GPs and those within the Southern cluster.
Please do make an effort to come. We need a room full of GPs thrashing
out the issues about plans for new ways to deliver health care through
IT.

Message for GP Input to CRS Development for Primary Best Practice Group
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
As you may be aware, the NHS has embarked upon a major, world leading
project to improve healthcare IT to enable seamless movement of
information throughout the patient journey from cradle to grave – the
NHS Care Record System (NCRS). We are therefore very keen to engage as
many GP’s as possible to ensure that the NCRS is developed to support
clinical best practice across care settings. Phase 2 of the NCRS
Programme will be fundamental to primary care covering all the clinical
components required in GP practices. (Release 1 of Phase 2 is due for
delivery in September 2005)
Your input would therefore be welcomed on the Primary Care and other
Best Practice Process Design Groups to enable our supplier (IDX) to
develop the primary care elements of the NCRS solution. This will take a
maximum of 1 day per week for approximately 8 weeks commencing September
2004.
To support your input the programme will pay £450 per day plus any
expenses incurred. If you are interested in joining the programme,
please contact Carol Stamper by email ([log in to unmask]) and
she will forward you all the details.
