Our new paper: a scoping review of digital tools for patient information sharing before GP consultations.
We explore how systems like Accurx & eConsult are used, their impact on workload, access and equity, and where the evidence gaps lie.

#Digital Information Sharing Before Consultations in General Practice: #Protocol for a Scoping Review
Background: #Digital tools that enable patients to submit information before consultations, such as Accurx and eConsult, are increasingly used in general practice. These systems aim to streamline workflows, improve documentation, and optimize consultation efficiency. However, evidence about their implementation, impact on health inequalities, and health care outcomes remains limited and fragmented. Objective: This #Study aims to map and synthesize the evidence on #Digital tools used for preconsultation information sharing in family or general practice. Methods: This scoping review will follow the Joanna Briggs Institute framework and the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines. Searches were conducted on May 12, 2025, in MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), and the Cochrane Library. Gray literature will be identified via Google Scholar and the National Health Service or government websites. Eligible studies will describe or evaluate #Digital tools used to collect information from patients before general practice consultations. Two independent reviewers will conduct screening and data extraction. Data will be analyzed using narrative synthesis. Results: Database searches identified 6991 records, with 4536 (64.88%) remaining after deduplication. Screening began in June 2025. Full-text screening was completed in November 2025, with data extraction and synthesis planned for completion by February 2026. Results will be submitted for publication in early 2026. Conclusions: This review will summarize evidence concerning the use of #Digital tools for preconsultation information sharing in general practice. Findings will inform implementation, #Research priorities, and service improvement in #Digitally supported care.

کتاب زمین سوخته احمد محمود به دستم رسید. داستان بسیار پُر شتاب و با تب و تابی ست. هر چند از سوژه جنگ خوشم نمی آید اما شیوه نگارش و پرداختن در این کتاب بسیار جالب است.

Trust in vaccines is being undermined.💉But what should you say to someone who has doubts? I spoke with vaccine hesitancy researchers for @nature.com to find out how best to speak to someone with questions /concerns about vaccines.

Anyone can use their helpful advice

Vaccination programmes must move beyond the laboratory and into the lived realities of pregnant women, where trust, misinformation, systemic barriers and social norms converge.
