Tammes P, et al. – Researchers here determined associations of general practice and practice population characteristics with emergency care service attendance rates. they identified that practices with more patients satisfied with waiting time, having a preferred GP, and using Minor Injuries Unit (MIU) and Walk–in Centre (WiC) services, had lower Emergency Departments (ED) attendance. Increases over time in attendance at MIUs, and patient satisfaction with opening hours seemed associated with reductions in service use.
