Gynaecology in Primary Care comes at a time of great change in
health service delivery. General practice is facing the challenges
of developing Clinical Commissioning Groups, providing an ever
greater range of primary care services and implementing NICE
guidelines, whilst CCGs through their members will be under a legal
duty to innovate. From a provider perspective, the book equips
general practitioners with up-to-date knowledge of common
gynaecological conditions, suggestions of best practice with regard
to management and investigations to be undertaken within primary
care, and guidelines for onward referral, where this is appropriate
and necessary. From a commissioning perspective it provides an
invaluable resource to CCGs, to inform their future pathways for
gynaecology care. This highly practical book delivers the main aim
of the RCP report - to ensure best care for female patients in the
setting of their choice and where possible to develop streamlined
one-stop services in primary care so that women do not have to take
time off from their work and family commitments. It is ideal for
general practitioners needing to be inspired and informed, and is
also highly recommended for other healthcare professionals and
medical students with an interest in women's health. 'Optimal
patient care requires many connected features to synchronise
effectively. This book describes how this could be achieved by
focusing attention on well-crafted, evidencebased clinical
pathways. This book advances our thinking on how we connect
clinical, system and patient level perspectives on optimal care
management.' Denis Gizzi, in his Foreword 'Written by a highly
regarded, experienced and practicing GP, who has taken on the role
as Clinical Director on behalf of the CCG for this programme area,
this book is a valuable asset for both practicing GPs and
developing CCGs to ensure that gynaecology services effectively
commission, maximise the health of the population, improve the
experience of the patient, and improve value for money.' Kath
Wynne-Jones, in her Foreword 'An excellent guide to the management
of gynaecological problems in primary care for not only clinicians
in training, but for more experienced clinicians who look for
straightforward and easily accessible advice to support their
clinical management decisions. Look no further than this textbook.
Dr Sharma's textbook will be a boon to developing organisations in
delivering world-class services.' Dr Ian Wilkinson, in his Foreword
The burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is
enormous and is increasing, but early, accurate diagnosis in a
primary care setting can have a crucial impact on managing the
condition. New NICE guidelines and the GMS Contract with incentives
give GPs and practice nurses the opportunity to diagnose COPD
patients and manage them in a structured fashion. This book brings
together clear and concise information for GPs and primary
healthcare teams on how this can be achieved accurately and
effectively. This book sets out a very practical approach to caring
for one group who can demonstrably benefit from access to the very
best that primary care can offer: patients living with COPD. This
book is for busy primary care physicians and nurses committed to
improving diagnosis, enabling self-management, ensuring rapid
treatment, and providing truly patient-centred care. Written by an
experienced, practising general practitioner, it provides a timely
contribution to the high-quality primary care services needed now
and in the future.A " - from the Foreword by Gail Richards Anita
Sharma is to be congratulated on producing a clear, concise and
practical book on COPD which will educate, give confidence to, and
encourage primary care physicians to manage this important disease
effectively and at an early stage.A" - from the Foreword by Joyce
Barclay
'Peripheral vascular disease is common and has a significant
adverse effect on the quality of life. A general practice with a
list size of 6000 patients will have approximately 30 symptomatic
patients with peripheral vascular disease' - Anita Sharma
Peripheral vascular disease is a commonly neglected condition and
therefore often presents in an advanced stage or in a
life-threatening manner. General practitioners can play a vital
role by making early diagnoses, prompt referrals, and in
coordinating vascular risk factor management in primary care. This
book is a concise and practical guide to recognising, managing and
reducing the cardiovascular risk factors in patients with
peripheral vascular disease (PVD). Completely up-to-date, it offers
clear direction for all primary care professionals. 'A pleasure for
any busy professional to read and an excellent source and reference
book for all primary care professionals. Students, nurses and
registrars will be surprised with the descriptions of various
pathologies simply explained, which they will seldom have noticed
while working on hospital wards.' Dr Michael Taylor, in his
Foreword 'A welcome source of knowledge and information,
particularly for those working in the primary care setting with the
aim of improving their standards of care.' - Dr Deepak Bhatnagar,
in his Foreword 'Anita Sharma is an experienced, practising GP
whose book on PVD offers new insights for primary care
professionals and is a generous contribution to the work of primary
care practitioners everywhere.' - Gail Richards, in her Foreword

The 1980s economic boom in East Asia drew the world's attention
towards Taiwan. The Four East Asian Tigers - South Korea Singapore,
Hong Kong and Taiwan - hardly appeared as developing areas as they
achieved phenomenal success in their growth-oriented strategies and
effectively advanced the standard of living of their people.
Taiwan's outstanding economic performance was noticed and
appreciated by both the government and non-government circles in
India. East Asia today is undoubtedly the most dynamic region of
the world in terms of economic growth and development. India's
'Look East Policy', formed in the mid-1990s, has widened the arena
for a multidimensional relationship with the greater East Asian
region. India-Taiwan economic relations have been growing and the
setting up of economic and cultural centres has promoted
people-to-people contacts. Cultural and educational ties between
the two nations are also increasing. This book is inspired by a
conference titled 'Taiwan Today' organized by the Department of
East Asian Studies, University of Delhi. The Department of East
Asian Studies is one of the few academic centres where all the
entities in the East Asian region are studied and researched. This
book will be very useful for those interested or engaged in
research on East Asia.
'The Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) is a system to
financially reward general practices for providing quality care to
their patients. It is a fundamental part of the GMS contract,
introduced in April 2004. QOF is estimated to have saved up to
10,000 lives a year since its introduction - ' - From the Preface
Filled with practical guidance and tips, this book explains
everything you need to do in order to score 'maximum' on all the
clinical indicators in the QOF. Using tables and lists, it details
areas such as setting up a disease register, ensuring that you have
an accepted definition of the condition, arranging a practice
meeting to discuss registers and motivating team members to use and
think about templates as well as cross-checking hospital letters
and discharges summaries, conducting a repeat prescription search,
actively screening at-risk patients and ensuring an efficient call
and recall system. These are the basic rules which apply to any and
every clinical indicator. Offering guidance on and insight into the
origins of different targets, possible shortfalls, and ways to
implement change and improve scores, this easy-to-read book is
vital for all general practitioners, GP Commissioners, QOF
assessors, and PCT QOF teams. Practice nurses, who are often relied
upon to maintain QOF standards, will find the information
essential. GP Registrars, medical students, Pharmacists, Health
Care Assistants and Practice Managers will also find much of
interest.
Pollutants are increasing day by day in the environment due to
human interference. Thus, it has become necessary to find solutions
to clean up these hazardous pollutants to improve human, animal,
and plant health. Microbial Biotechnology in Environmental
Monitoring and Cleanup is a critical scholarly resource that
examines the toxic hazardous substances and their impact on the
environment. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as
pollution of microorganisms, phytoremediation, and bioremediation,
this book is geared towards academics, professionals, graduate
students, and practitioners interested in emerging techniques for
environmental decontamination.
