National Snapshot of Primary Care
The findings of this snapshot of Primary Care in 2009 - the first of its kind - are available to download.
The snapshot includes information about 4487 deaths from 502 general practices in 15 PCT areas. Nine out of ten SHA regions are represented. Facilitated by Omega, this audit was funded by Primary Care Trusts and the NHS National End of Life Programme, with contributions from the GSF, The Evidence Centre, and The University of Birmingham.
Practices used an online version of ADA (After Death Analysis) to submit data on all deaths occuring between February and March 2009. The objective was to evaluate the range of primary care services available to people nearing the end of life.
