THUR 018 Advice and guidance: not so quick and easy
BackgroundWaiting times for outpatient consultations are consistently under pressure, and delivery of the mandatory 18 week target from referral to completed review remains challenging. An Advice and Guidance scheme offers an opportunity to access neurological advice while reducing face-to-face consultation needs. We designed this project to develop the requirements, methods, audit and costing of sustainable neurological advice.MethodsA DGH Neurology service worked with a local CCG comprising 18 GP practices. All 176 referrals and advice requests received during a 6 month pilot were considered for A and G instead of a clinic appointment.ResultsAdvice was offered in 37% of cases overall (48 patients), but a net increase of 12% in face-to-face consultations was observed, as 28 (16%) of advice requests required clinic review. Headache and alteration of consciousness were common, and cases with an established diagnosis the most tractable for the ‘Advice Only’ option. GP referral quality was judged good, neurology satisfaction was reasonable, and a cost of at least £68 per episode was indicated.DiscussionThis pilot showed an increase in the number of face-to-face clinic reviews required. We suggest that other reported schemes may have not included advice requests that resulted in referrals in their metrics.

Restructuring Post-Communist Russia
Since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, the question of 'whither Russia?' has been the source of ceaseless speculation both at home and abroad. In search of answers, twelve highly qualified scholars examine the complex interplay between continuity and change that has marked developments in Russia under the leadership first of Boris Yeltsin and now of Vladimir Putin. Analsying the recent past, they also peer into the country's future. In his introduction to the volume Peter Rutland asks whether we are witnessing the gradual entrenchment of parliamentary democracy, the slow return to autocracy or mere political stagnation. Restructuring Post-Communist Russia poses the fundamental questions while providing the information and analysis needed to give the (at least, preliminary) answers.
