Description
That doesn't change. What's different about general practice is, it’s a different environment to work in. There are those things about Medicare and various EPC items and things like that only pertinent to general practice. There's probably a million Intellux and one examples we could quote of patients going into hospital and coming out with problems that weren't addressed when they were there because medical and nursing staff, for a variety of reasons, weren’t able to touch on. I think that's just a symptom of our system. The fact that these patients can access that kind of care in general practices very valuable for the community. Of course, this woman doesn't qualify for an EPC item. Not at this point, but she's highly likely to. That's the key role for the practice nurse -ensuring that this person has the level of care they needover the 12 months to make sure they have optimal diabetic care. I think you've touched on an important point, Norman.
