Patients' reasons for consulting a GP when experiencing a dental problem: a qualitative study
No full textBackground: There are approximately 380,000 dental consultations in UK general practice every year. Aim To explore the reasons why patients may consult a General Practitioner (GP) rather than a dentist when experiencing problems with their teeth or gums. Design and Setting: A qualitative semi-structured interview study with adults who had consulted a UK GP with a dental problem in the previous 12 months. Method: Participants were recruited via print and social media; internet adverts; HealthWise Wales, the Welsh national population research cohort; and word of mouth. In total 39 telephone interviews were conducted, and transcripts thematically analysed. Results: Participants' consultation behaviour was influenced by their interpretation of their symptoms; their perceptions of the scope of practice of primary care practitioners; the comparative ease of navigating medical and dental care systems; previous experiences of dental care, including dental anxiety and dissatisfaction with prior treatment; and willingness and ability to pay for dental care. Conclusions: There are several reasons why patients may consult a GP with a dental problem. Effective interventions will need to break down the barriers preventing access to dental care. Accessible public-facing information on where to seek care for dental problems is required, and general practice teams should be able to signpost patients who present with dental problems, if appropriate. Dental providers should also be encouraged to maintain timely access to urgent care for their patients
Slow culture: an introduction
No full text[Extract] There is a powerful message permeating our social lives today, found in our self-help networks, talkback television and radio shows, and online forums. It is a warning that, through technology and modernisation, our lifestyles have become increasingly hectic, fast, complex and immediate. 'Life', writes online author Leo Babauta (2009, para. 2), 'moves at such a fast pace that it seems to pass us by before we can really enjoy it'. We are encouraged to take a step back, to breathe deeply and 'slow down', in order to recapture the essence of 'real' living. By doing so, we can escape the seemingly endless stresses associated with our multi-tasked, time-compressed and instantaneous speed culture (Tomlinson 2007). This book presents illustrations of how people are beginning to disentangle themselves from a speed culture by embracing slowness. It is not simply a matter of slowing down, as the term implies, but of undertaking changes in the way we do things at an everyday level. Underpinning these transformations is a concern, as Babauta (2009) suggests, with the uniquely stressful lifestyles we are living in contemporary culture
Nick Earls launches 'Wisdom Tree' - a new model for novella publishing, 9 Jun 2016
No full textBrisbane author Nick Earls discusses 'Wisdom Tree' a new model for novella publishing with fellow author and UQ Senior Lecturer in writing Dr Kim Wilkins. In 2013, Nick Earls realised his five best story ideas would need padding to become novels and would lose something if he tried to trim them to short-story size. He had to write them, and they had to be novellas. He also realised it was time to confront head-on the publishing industry's reluctance to work with the novella form. The result is Wisdom Tree, a new model for novella publishing, a PhD project and a chance to turn his best ideas into a series of five novellas to be published as individual paper, e and audiobooks at monthly intervals from May to September 2016.Introductions by Professor Doune Macdonald, Acting Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic)
