Dear Sarah I would be most grateful if you could kindly send us a copy as well.I am part of South Asian Health Foundation which is on www.safh.org.uk and I chair the musculo skeletal group. We are also hosting a national conference on 1st and 2nd December at the Royal College of Physicians in London on Diabetes,Alcohol issues, Musculo skeltalhealth besides heart and lung disease in ethnic minorities - not just South Asians. You are all welcome to attend. BW Prof Chakravarty Sarah Corlett <[log in to unmask]> wrote: Greetings In Lambeth we are updating our patient profiling data collection, in part because we have found that certain questions are confusing for patients or have no Read Codes (British GP disease coding system), and partly because (perhaps paradoxically) the new world of procurement for primary care provision in England means we have the opportunity to (and must) be more precise about what data we want providers to collect. We are therefore developing a primary care minimum dataset for Lambeth so providers can demonstrate progress on equality (the aim being to collect the information once on registration and to share on referral). Of course we are some way from implementing this but alongside the dataset we need to revise our patient information on why the information is being collected. I wondered if people would be prepared to send or point me to examples of their patient information leaflets or similar on the why's and wherefore's of monitoring? We're happy to share everything we come up with (I can send the draft patient profiling to individuals on request and people are also welcome to send me theirs) and of course if anyone else is moving in this direction I'd be delighted to discuss issues that people are grappling with (anyone with experience or advice about monitoring sexual orientation or transgender?? People here are nervous about it and there appear to be no useful Read Codes - but realise this is not the topic of this e-group).
