Links Project Report:developing the connections between general practices and their communities

The Links Project was established between October 2010 and May 2011. Staff in ten Scottish General Practices explored connections with their communities. Six of the practices were in areas of deprivation in Glasgow and four in different areas of Fife.

Glasgow Baseline Survey Results

Results of baseline survey for December 2010, January 2011 and February 2011.

The percentage of patients identified for support hardly varied in 3 reporting periods (19%, 18%, 18%), nor did the recommended to a service (72%, 78%, 76%). Number of patients who expressed an intention to accept the recommendation varied (56%, 60% and 37%) which may be due to one practice with a particularly low acceptance rate.
