## Introduction
**Confidence grades** were introduced in [v2.34.0](https://github.com/docling-project/docling/releases/tag/v2.34.0) to help users understand how well a conversion performed and guide decisions about post-processing workflows. They are available in the [`confidence`](../../reference/document_converter/#docling.document_converter.ConversionResult.confidence) field of the [`ConversionResult`](../../reference/document_converter/#docling.document_converter.ConversionResult) object returned by the document converter.
## Purpose
Complex layouts, poor scan quality, or challenging formatting can lead to suboptimal document conversion results that may require additional attention or alternative conversion pipelines.
Confidence scores provide a quantitative assessment of document conversion quality. Each confidence report includes a **numerical score** (0.0 to 1.0) measuring conversion accuracy, and a **quality grade** (poor, fair, good, excellent) for quick interpretation.
!!! note "Focus on quality grades!"
Users can and should safely focus on the document-level grade fields — `mean_grade` and `low_grade` — to assess overall conversion quality. Numerical scores are used internally and are for informational purposes only; their computation and weighting may change in the future.
Use cases for confidence grades include:
- Identify documents requiring manual review after the conversion
- Adjust conversion pipelines to the most appropriate for each document type
- Set confidence thresholds for unattended batch conversions
- Catch potential conversion issues early in your workflow.
## Concepts
### Scores and grades
A confidence report contains *scores* and *grades*:
- **Scores**: Numerical values between 0.0 and 1.0, where higher values indicate better conversion quality, for internal use only
- **Grades**: Categorical quality assessments based on score thresholds, used to assess the overall conversion confidence:
- `POOR`
- `FAIR`
- `GOOD`
- `EXCELLENT`
### Types of confidence calculated
Each confidence report includes four component scores and grades:
- **`layout_score`**: Overall quality of document element recognition
- **`ocr_score`**: Quality of OCR-extracted content
- **`parse_score`**: 10th percentile score of digital text cells (emphasizes problem areas)
- **`table_score`**: Table extraction quality *(not yet implemented)*
### Summary grades
Two aggregate grades provide overall document quality assessment:
- **`mean_grade`**: Average of the four component scores
- **`low_grade`**: 5th percentile score (highlights worst-performing areas)
### Page-level vs document-level
Confidence grades are calculated at two levels:
- **Page-level**: Individual scores and grades for each page, stored in the `pages` field
- **Document-level**: Overall scores and grades for the entire document, calculated as averages of the page-level grades and stored in fields equally named in the root [`ConfidenceReport`](h../../reference/document_converter/#docling.document_converter.ConversionResult.confidence)

# Evolving general practice consultation in Britain: issues of length and context
George K Freeman, John P Horder, John G R Howie, A Pali Hungin, Alison P Hill, Nayan C Shah, Andrew Wilson
Centre for Primary Care and Social Medicine, Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, London W6 8RP; Royal College of General Practitioners, London SW7 1PU; Department of General Practice, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh EH8 9DX; Centre for Health Studies, University of Durham, Durham DH1 3HN; Kilburn Park Medical Centre, London NW6; Department of General Practice and Primary Health Care, University of Leicester, Leicester LE5 4PW
In 1999 Shah1 and others said that the Royal College of General Practitioners should advocate longer consultations in general practice as a matter of policy. The college set up a working group chaired by A P Hungin, and a systematic review of literature on consultation length in general practice was commissioned. The working group agreed that the available evidence would be hard to interpret without discussion of the changing context within which consultations now take place. For many years general practitioners and those who have surveyed patients' opinions in the United Kingdom have complained about short consultation time, despite a steady increase in actual mean length. Recently Mechanic pointed out that this is also true in the United States.2 Is there any justification for a further increase in mean time allocated per consultation in general practice?
We report on the outcome of extensive debate among a group of general practitioners with an interest in the process of care, with reference to the interim findings of the commissioned systematic review and our personal databases. The review identified 14 relevant papers.
## Summary points
- Longer consultations are associated with a range of better patient outcomes
- Modern consultations in general practice deal with patients with more serious and chronic conditions
- Increasing patient participation means more complex interaction, which demands extra time
- Difficulties with access and with loss of continuity add to perceived stress and poor performance and lead to further pressure on time
- Longer consultations should be a professional priority, combined with increased use of technology and more flexible practice management to maximise interpersonal continuity
- Research on implementation is needed
## Longer consultations: benefits for patients
The systematic review consistently showed that doctors with longer consultation times prescribe less and offer more advice on lifestyle and other health promoting activities. Longer consultations have been significantly associated with better recognition and handling of psychosocial problems3 and with better patient enablement.4 Also clinical care for some chronic illnesses is better in practices with longer booked intervals between one appointment and the next.5 It is not clear whether time is itself the main influence or whether some doctors insist on more time.
A national survey in 1998 reported that most (87%) patients were satisfied with the length of their most recent consultation.6 Satisfaction with any service will be high if expectations are met or exceeded. But expectations are modified by previous experience.7 The result is that primary care patients are likely to be satisfied with what they are used to unless the context modifies the effects of their own experience.
## Context of modern consultations
Shorter consultations were more appropriate when the population was younger, when even a brief absence from employment due to sickness required a doctor's note, and when many simple remedies were available only on prescription. Recently at least five important influences have increased the content and hence the potential length of the consultation.
## Participatory consultation style
The most effective consultations are those in which doctors most directly acknowledge and perhaps respond to patients' problems and concerns. In addition, for patients to be committed to taking advantage of medical advice they must agree with both the goals and methods proposed. A landmark publication in the United Kingdom was Meetings Between Experts, which argued that while doctors are the experts about medical problems in general patients are the experts on how they themselves experience these problems.8 New emphasis on teaching consulting skills in general practice advocated specific attention to the patient's agenda, beliefs, understanding, and agreement. Currently the General Medical Council, aware that communication difficulties underlie many complaints about doctors, has further emphasised the importance of involving patients in consultations in its revised guidance to medical schools.9 More patient involvement should give a better outcome, but this participatory style usually lengthens consultations.
## Extended professional agenda
The traditional consultation in general practice was brief.2 The patient presented symptoms and the doctor prescribed treatment. In 1957 Balint gave new insights into the meaning of symptoms.10 By 1979 an enhanced model of consultation was presented, in which the doctors dealt with ongoing as well as presenting problems and added health promotion and education about future appropriate use of services.11 Now, with an ageing population and more community care of chronic illness, there are more issues to be considered at each consultation. Ideas of what constitutes good general practice are more complex.12 Good practice now includes both extended care of chronic medical problems—for example, coronary heart disease13—and a public health role. At first this model was restricted to those who lead change (“early adopters”) and enthusiasts14 but now it is embedded in professional and managerial expectations of good practice.
Adequate time is essential. It may be difficult for an elderly patient with several active problems to undress, be examined, and get adequate professional consideration in under 15 minutes. Here the doctor is faced with the choice of curtailing the consultation or of reducing the time available for the next patient. Having to cope with these situations often contributes to professional dissatisfaction.15 This combination of more care, more options, and more genuine discussion of those options with informed patient choice inevitably leads to pressure on time.
## Access problems
In a service free at the point of access, rising demand will tend to increase rationing by delay. But attempts to improve access by offering more consultations at short notice squeeze consultation times.
While appointment systems can and should reduce queuing time for consultations, they have long tended to be used as a brake on total demand.16 This may seriously erode patients' confidence in being able to see their doctor or nurse when they need to. Patients are offered appointments further ahead but may keep these even if their symptoms have remitted “just in case.” Availability of consultations is thus blocked. Receptionists are then inappropriately blamed for the inadequate access to doctors.
In response to perception of delay, the government has set targets in the NHS plan of “guaranteed access to a primary care professional within 24 hours and to a primary care doctor within 48 hours.” Implementation is currently being negotiated.
Virtually all patients think that they would not consult unless it was absolutely necessary. They do not think they are wasting NHS time and do not like being made to feel so. But underlying general practitioners' willingness to make patients wait several days is their perception that few of the problems are urgent. Patients and general practitioners evidently do not agree about the urgency of so called minor problems. To some extent general practice in the United Kingdom may have scored an “own goal” by setting up perceived access barriers (appointment systems and out of hours cooperatives) in the attempt to increase professional standards and control demand in a service that is free at the point of access.
A further government initiative has been to bypass general practice with new services—notably, walk-in centres (primary care clinics in which no appointment is needed) and NHS Direct (a professional telephone helpline giving advice on simple remedies and access to services). Introduced widely and rapidly, these services each potentially provide significant features of primary care—namely, quick access to skilled health advice and first line treatment.
## Loss of interpersonal continuity
If a patient has to consult several different professionals, particularly over a short period of time, there is inevitable duplication of stories, risk of naive diagnoses, potential for conflicting advice, and perhaps loss of trust. Trust is essential if patients are to accept the “wait and see” management policy which is, or should be, an important part of the management of self limiting conditions, which are often on the boundary between illness and non-illness.17 Such duplication again increases pressure for more extra (unscheduled) consultations resulting in late running and professional frustration.18
Mechanic described how loss of longitudinal (and perhaps personal and relational19) continuity influences the perception and use of time through an inability to build on previous consultations.2 Knowing the doctor well, particularly in smaller practices, is associated with enhanced patient enablement in shorter time.4 Though Mechanic pointed out that three quarters of UK patients have been registered with their general practitioner five years or more, this may be misleading. Practices are growing, with larger teams and more registered patients. Being registered with a doctor in a larger practice is usually no guarantee that the patient will be able to see the same doctor or the doctor of his or her choice, who may be different. Thus the system does not encourage adequate personal continuity. This adds to pressure on time and reduces both patient and professional satisfaction.
## Health service reforms
Finally, for the past 15 years the NHS has experienced unprecedented change with a succession of major administrative reforms. Recent reforms have focused on an NHS led by primary care, including the aim of shifting care from the secondary specialist sector to primary care. One consequence is increased demand for primary care of patients with more serious and less stable problems. With the limited piloting of reforms we do not know whether such major redirection can be achieved without greatly altering the delicate balance between expectations (of both patients and staff) and what is delivered.
## The future
We think that the way ahead must embrace both longer mean consultation times and more flexibility. More time is needed for high quality consultations with patients with major and complex problems of all kinds. But patients also need access to simpler services and advice. This should be more appropriate (and cost less) when it is given by professionals who know the patient and his or her medical history and social circumstances. For doctors, the higher quality associated with longer consultations may lead to greater professional satisfaction and, if these longer consultations are combined with more realistic scheduling, to reduced levels of stress.20 They will also find it easier to develop further the care of chronic disease.
The challenge posed to general practice by walk-in centres and NHS Direct is considerable, and the diversion of funding from primary care is large. The risk of waste and duplication increases as more layers of complexity are added to a primary care service that started out as something familiar, simple, and local and which is still envied in other developed countries.21 Access needs to be simple, and the advantages of personal knowledge and trust in minimising duplication and overmedicalisation need to be exploited.
We must ensure better communication and access so that patients can more easily deal with minor issues and queries with someone they know and trust and avoid the formality and inconvenience of a full face to face consultation. Too often this has to be with a different professional, unfamiliar with the nuances of the case. There should be far more managerial emphasis on helping patients to interact with their chosen practitioner22; such a programme has been described.23 Modern information systems make it much easier to record which doctor(s) a patient prefers to see and to monitor how often this is achieved. The telephone is hardly modern but is underused. Email avoids the problems inherent in arranging simultaneous availability necessary for telephone consultations but at the cost of reducing the communication of emotions. There is a place for both.2 Access without prior appointment is a valued feature of primary care, and we need to know more about the right balance between planned and ad hoc consulting.
## Next steps
General practitioners do not behave in a uniform way. They can be categorised as slow, medium, and fast and react in different ways to changes in consulting speed.18 They are likely to have differing views about a widespread move to lengthen consultation time. We do not need further confirmation that longer consultations are desirable and necessary, but research could show us the best way to learn how to introduce them with minimal disruption to the way in which patients and practices like primary care to be provided.24 We also need to learn how to make the most of available time in complex consultations.
Devising appropriate incentives and helping practices move beyond just reacting to demand in the traditional way by working harder and faster is perhaps our greatest challenge in the United Kingdom. The new primary are trusts need to work together with the growing primary care research networks to carry out the necessary development work. In particular, research is needed on how a primary care team can best provide the right balance of quick access and interpersonal knowledge and trust.

# The coreceptor mutation CCR5Δ32 influences the dynamics of HIV epidemics and is selected for by HIV

## Abstract
We explore the impact of a host genetic factor on heterosexual HIV epidemics by using a deterministic mathematical model. A protective allele unequally distributed across populations is exemplified in our models by the 32-bp deletion in the host-cell chemokine receptor CCR5, CCR5Δ32. Individuals homozygous for CCR5Δ32 are protected against HIV infection whereas those heterozygous for CCR5Δ32 have lower pre-AIDS viral loads and delayed progression to AIDS. CCR5Δ32 may limit HIV spread by decreasing the probability of both risk of infection and infectiousness. In this work, we characterize epidemic HIV within three dynamic subpopulations: CCR5/CCR5 (homozygous, wild type), CCR5/CCR5Δ32 (heterozygous), and CCR5Δ32/CCR5Δ32 (homozygous, mutant). Our results indicate that prevalence of HIV/AIDS is greater in populations lacking the CCR5Δ32 alleles (homozygous wild types only) as compared with populations that include people heterozygous or homozygous for CCR5Δ32. Also, we show that HIV can provide selective pressure for CCR5Δ32, increasing the frequency of this allele.
Nineteen million people have died of AIDS since the discovery of HIV in the 1980s. In 1999 alone, 5.4 million people were newly infected with HIV (ref. 1 and http://www.unaids.org/epidemicupdate/report/Epireport.html). (For brevity, HIV-1 is referred to as HIV in this paper.) Sub-Saharan Africa has been hardest hit, with more than 20% of the general population HIV-positive in some countries (2, 3). In comparison, heterosexual epidemics in developed, market-economy countries have not reached such severe levels. Factors contributing to the severity of the epidemic in economically developing countries abound, including economic, health, and social differences such as high levels of sexually transmitted diseases and a lack of prevention programs. However, the staggering rate at which the epidemic has spread in sub-Saharan Africa has not been adequately explained. The rate and severity of this epidemic also could indicate a greater underlying susceptibility to HIV attributable not only to sexually transmitted disease, economics, etc., but also to other more ubiquitous factors such as host genetics (4, 5).
To exemplify the contribution of such a host genetic factor to HIV prevalence trends, we consider a well-characterized 32-bp deletion in the host-cell chemokine receptor CCR5, CCR5Δ32. When HIV binds to host cells, it uses the CD4 receptor on the surface of host immune cells together with a coreceptor, mainly the CCR5 and CXCR4 chemokine receptors (6). Homozygous mutations for this 32-bp deletion offer almost complete protection from HIV infection, and heterozygous mutations are associated with lower pre-AIDS viral loads and delayed progression to AIDS (714). CCR5Δ32 generally is found in populations of European descent, with allelic frequencies ranging from 0 to 0.29 (13). African and Asian populations studied outside the United States or Europe appear to lack the CCR5Δ32 allele, with an allelic frequency of almost zero (5, 13). Thus, to understand the effects of a protective allele, we use a mathematical model to track prevalence of HIV in populations with or without CCR5Δ32 heterozygous and homozygous people and also to follow the CCR5Δ32 allelic frequency.
We hypothesize that CCR5Δ32 limits epidemic HIV by decreasing infection rates, and we evaluate the relative contributions to this by the probability of infection and duration of infectivity. To capture HIV infection as a chronic infectious disease together with vertical transmission occurring in untreated mothers, we model a dynamic population (i.e., populations that vary in growth rates because of fluctuations in birth or death rates) based on realistic demographic characteristics (18). This scenario also allows tracking of the allelic frequencies over time. This work considers how a specific host genetic factor affecting HIV infectivity and viremia at the individual level might influence the epidemic in a dynamic population and how HIV exerts selective pressure, altering the frequency of this mutant allele.
CCR5 is a host-cell chemokine receptor, which is also used as a coreceptor by R5 strains of HIV that are generally acquired during sexual transmission (6, 1925). As infection progresses to AIDS the virus expands its repertoire of potential coreceptors to include other CC-family and CXC-family receptors in roughly 50% of patients (19, 26, 27). CCR5Δ32 was identified in HIV-resistant people (28). Benefits to individuals from the mutation in this allele are as follows. Persons homozygous for the CCR5Δ32 mutation are almost nonexistent in HIV-infected populations (11, 12) (see ref. 13 for review). Persons heterozygous for the mutant allele (CCR5 W/Δ32) tend to have lower pre-AIDS viral loads. Aside from the beneficial effects that lower viral loads may have for individuals, there is also an altruistic effect, as transmission rates are reduced for individuals with low viral loads (as compared with, for example, AZT and other studies; ref. 29). Finally, individuals heterozygous for the mutant allele (CCR5 W/Δ32) also have a slower progression to AIDS than those homozygous for the wild-type allele (CCR5 W/W) (710), remaining in the population 2 years longer, on average. Interestingly, the dearth of information on HIV disease progression in people homozygous for the CCR5Δ32 allele (CCR5 Δ32/Δ32) stems from the rarity of HIV infection in this group (4, 12, 28). However, in case reports of HIV-infected CCR5 Δ32/Δ32 homozygotes, a rapid decline in CD4+ T cells and a high viremia are observed, likely because of initial infection with a more aggressive viral strain (such as X4 or R5X4) (30).
## The Model
Because we are most concerned with understanding the severity of the epidemic in developing countries where the majority of infection is heterosexual, we consider a purely heterosexual model. To model the effects of the allele in the population, we examine the rate of HIV spread by using an enhanced susceptible-infected-AIDS model of epidemic HIV (for review see ref. 31). Our model compares two population scenarios: a CCR5 wild-type population and one with CCR5Δ32 heterozygotes and homozygotes in addition to the wild type. To model the scenario where there are only wild-type individuals present in the population (i.e., CCR5 W/W), we track the sexually active susceptibles at time t [Si,j (t)], where i = 1 refers to genotype (CCR5 W/W only in this case) and j is either the male or female subpopulation. We also track those who are HIV-positive at time t not yet having AIDS in Ii,j,k (t) where k refers to stage of HIV infection [primary (A) or asymptomatic (B)]. The total number of individuals with AIDS at time t are tracked in A(t). The source population are children, χ i,j (t), who mature into the sexually active population at time t (Fig. 1, Table 1). We compare the model of a population lacking the CCR5Δ32 allele to a demographically similar population with a high frequency of the allele. When genetic heterogeneity is included, male and female subpopulations are each further divided into three distinct genotypic groups, yielding six susceptible subpopulations, [Si,j (t), where i ranges from 1 to 3, where 1 = CCR5W/W; 2 = CCR5 W/Δ32; 3 = CCR5 Δ32/Δ32]. The infected classes, Ii,j,k (t), also increase in number to account for these new genotype compartments. In both settings we assume there is no treatment available and no knowledge of HIV status by people in the early acute and middle asymptomatic stages (both conditions exist in much of sub-Saharan Africa). In addition, we assume that sexual mixing in the population occurs randomly with respect to genotype and HIV disease status, all HIV-infected people eventually progress to AIDS, and no barrier contraceptives are used. These last assumptions reflect both economic and social conditions.
Figure 1 A schematic representation of the basic compartmental HIV epidemic model. The criss-cross lines indicate the sexual mixing between different compartments. Each of these interactions has a positive probability of taking place; they also incorporate individual rates of transmission indicated as λ, but in full notation is λ î,,→i,j, where i,j,k is the phenotype of the infected partner and î, is the phenotype of the susceptible partner. Also shown are the different rates of disease progression, γ i,j,k , that vary according to genotype, gender, and stage. Thus, the interactions between different genotypes, genders, and stages are associated with a unique probability of HIV infection. M, male; F, female.

### Parameter Estimates for the Model.
Estimates for rates that govern the interactions depicted in Fig. 1 were derived from the extensive literature on HIV. Our parameters and their estimates are summarized in Tables 24. The general form of the equations describing the rates of transition between population classes as depicted in Fig. 1 are summarized as follows:
$$ \frac{dS_{i,j}(t)}{dt}={\chi}_{i,j}(t)-{\mu}_{j}S_{i,j}(t)-{\lambda}_{\hat {\imath},\hat {},\hat {k}{\rightarrow}i,j}S_{i,j}(t), $$
$$ \hspace{1em}\hspace{1em}\hspace{.167em}\frac{dI_{i,j,A}(t)}{dt}={\lambda}_{\hat {\imath},\hat {},\hat {k}{\rightarrow}i,j}S_{i,j}(t)-{\mu}_{j}I_{i,j,A}(t)-{\gamma}_{i,j,A}I_{i,j,A}(t), $$
$$ \frac{dI_{i,j,B}(t)}{dt}={\gamma}_{i,j,A}I_{i,j,A}(t)-{\mu}_{j}I_{i,j,B}(t)-{\gamma}_{i,j,B}I_{i,j,B}(t), $$
$$ \frac{dA(t)}{dt}={\gamma}_{i,j,B} \left( { \,\substack{ ^{3} \\ {\sum} \\ _{i=1} }\, }I_{i,F,B}(t)+I_{i,M,B}(t) \right) -{\mu}_{A}A(t)-{\delta}A(t), $$
where, in addition to previously defined populations and rates (with i equals genotype, j equals gender, and k equals stage of infection, either A or B), μ j , represents the non-AIDS (natural) death rate for males and females respectively, and μA is estimated by the average (μF + μM/2). This approximation allows us to simplify the model (only one AIDS compartment) without compromising the results, as most people with AIDS die of AIDS (δAIDS) and very few of other causes (μA). These estimates include values that affect infectivity (λ î,,→i,j ), transmission (β î,,→i,j ), and disease progression (γ i , j , k ) where the î,, notation represents the genotype, gender, and stage of infection of the infected partner, and j ≠ .

The effects of the CCR5 W/Δ32 and CCR5 Δ32/Δ32 genotypes are included in our model through both the per-capita probabilities of infection, λ î,,→i,j , and the progression rates, γ i , j , k . The infectivity coefficients, λ î,,→i,j , are calculated for each population subgroup based on the following: likelihood of HIV transmission in a sexual encounter between a susceptible and an infected (βîıı^^,j,k k^^→i,j ) person; formation of new partnerships (c j j); number of contacts in a given partnership (ϕ j ); and probability of encountering an infected individual (I î,, /N  ). The formula representing this probability of infection is
$$ {\lambda}_{\hat {i},\hat {j},\hat {k}{\rightarrow}i,j}=\frac{C_{j}{\cdot}{\phi}_{j}}{N_{\hat {j}}}\hspace{.167em} \left[ { \,\substack{ \\ {\sum} \\ _{\hat {i},\hat {k}} }\, }{\beta}_{\hat {i},\hat {j},\hat {k}{\rightarrow}i,j}{\cdot}I_{\hat {i},\hat {j},\hat {k}} \right] , $$
where j ≠  is either male or female. N  represents the total population of gender  (this does not include those with AIDS in the simulations).
The average rate of partner acquisition, cj , includes the mean plus the variance to mean ratio of the relevant distribution of partner-change rates to capture the small number of high-risk people: cj = mj + (ς/m j) where the mean (mj ) and variance (ς) are annual figures for new partnerships only (32). These means are estimated from Ugandan data for the number of heterosexual partners in the past year (33) and the number of nonregular heterosexual partners (i.e., spouses or long-term partners) in the past year (34). In these sexual activity surveys, men invariably have more new partnerships; thus, we assumed that they would have fewer average contacts per partnership than women (a higher rate of new partner acquisition means fewer sexual contacts with a given partner; ref. 35). To incorporate this assumption in our model, the male contacts/partnership, ϕ M , was reduced by 20%. In a given population, the numbers of heterosexual interactions must equate between males and females. The balancing equation applied here is SA F·m F·N F = SA M·m M·N M, where SAj are the percent sexually active and Nj are the total in the populations for gender j. To specify changes in partner acquisition, we apply a male flexibility mechanism, holding the female rate of acquisition constant and allowing the male rates to vary (36, 37).
#### Transmission probabilities.
The effect of a genetic factor in a model of HIV transmission can be included by reducing the transmission coefficient. The probabilities of transmission per contact with an infected partner, βîıı^^,^^,k k^^→i,j , have been estimated in the literature (see ref. 38 for estimates in minimally treated groups). We want to capture a decreased risk in transmission based on genotype (ref. 39, Table 2). No studies have directly evaluated differences in infectivity between HIV-infected CCR5 W/Δ32 heterozygotes and HIV-infected CCR5 wild types. Thus, we base estimates for reduced transmission on studies of groups with various HIV serum viral loads (40), HTLV-I/II viral loads (41), and a study of the effect of AZT treatment on transmission (29). We decrease transmission probabilities for infecting CCR5Δ32/Δ32 persons by 100-fold to reflect the rarity of infections in these persons. However, we assume that infected CCR5Δ32/Δ32 homozygotes can infect susceptibles at a rate similar to CCR5W/W homozygotes, as the former generally have high viremias (ref. 30, Table 2). We also assume that male-to-female transmission is twice as efficient as female-to-male transmission (up to a 9-fold difference has been reported; ref. 42) (ref. 43, Table 2).
Given the assumption of no treatment, the high burden of disease in people with AIDS is assumed to greatly limit their sexual activity. Our initial model excludes people with AIDS from the sexually active groups. Subsequently, we allow persons with AIDS to be sexually active, fixing their transmission rates (βAIDS) to be the same across all CCR5 genotypes, and lower than transmission rates for primary-stage infection (as the viral burden on average is not as high as during the acute phase), and larger than transmission rates for asymptomatic-stage infection (as the viral burden characteristically increases during the end stage of disease).
#### Disease progression.
We assume three stages of HIV infection: primary (acute, stage A), asymptomatic HIV (stage B), and AIDS. The rates of transition through the first two stages are denoted by γ i,j,k i,j,k, where i represents genotype, j is male/female, and k represents either stage A or stage B. Transition rates through each of these stages are assumed to be inversely proportional to the duration of that stage; however, other distributions are possible (31, 44, 45). Although viral loads generally peak in the first 2 months of infection, steady-state viral loads are established several months beyond this (46). For group A, the primary HIV-infecteds, duration is assumed to be 3.5 months. Based on results from European cohort studies (710), the beneficial effects of the CCR5 W/Δ32 genotype are observed mainly in the asymptomatic years of HIV infection; ≈7 years after seroconversion survival rates appear to be quite similar between heterozygous and homozygous individuals. We also assume that CCR5Δ32/Δ32-infected individuals and wild-type individuals progress similarly, and that men and women progress through each disease stage at the same rate. Given these observations, and that survival after infection may be shorter in untreated populations, we choose the duration time in stage B to be 6 years for wild-type individuals and 8 years for heterozygous individuals. Transition through AIDS, δAIDS, is inversely proportional to the duration of AIDS. We estimate this value to be 1 year for the time from onset of AIDS to death. The progression rates are summarized in Table 3.
### Demographic Setting.
Demographic parameters are based on data from Malawi, Zimbabwe, and Botswana (3, 47). Estimated birth and child mortality rates are used to calculate the annual numbers of children (χ i,j i,j) maturing into the potentially sexually active, susceptible group at the age of 15 years (3). For example, in the case where the mother is CCR5 wild type and the father is CCR5 wild type or heterozygous, the number of CCR5 W/W children is calculated as follows [suppressing (t) notation]: χ1,j 1,j =
$$ B_{r}\hspace{.167em}{ \,\substack{ \\ {\sum} \\ _{k} }\, } \left[ S_{1,F}\frac{(S_{1,M}+I_{1,M,k})}{N_{M}}+ \left[ (0.5)S_{1,F}\frac{(S_{2,M}+I_{2,M,k})}{N_{M}} \right] + \right $$
$$ p_{v} \left \left( \frac{(I_{1,F,k}(S_{1,M}+I_{1,M,k}))}{N_{M}}+ \left[ (0.5)I_{1,F,k}\frac{(S_{2,M}+I_{2,M,k})}{N_{M}} \right] \right) \right] ,\hspace{.167em} $$
where the probability of HIV vertical transmission, 1 pv , and the birthrate, Br , are both included in the equations together with the Mendelian inheritance values as presented in Table 1. The generalized version of this equation (i.e., χ i,j i,j) can account for six categories of children (including gender and genotype). We assume that all children of all genotypes are at risk, although we can relax this condition if data become available to support vertical protection (e.g., ref. 48). All infected children are assumed to die before age 15. Before entering the susceptible group at age 15, there is additional loss because of mortality from all non-AIDS causes occurring less than 15 years of age at a rate of μχχ × χ i,j i,j (where μχ is the mortality under 15 years of age). Children then enter the population as susceptibles at an annual rate, ς j j × χ i,j i,j/15, where ς j distributes the children 51% females and 49% males. All parameters and their values are summarized in Table 4.
## Prevalence of HIV
### Demographics and Model Validation.
The model was validated by using parameters estimated from available demographic data. Simulations were run in the absence of HIV infection to compare the model with known population growth rates. Infection was subsequently introduced with an initial low HIV prevalence of 0.5% to capture early epidemic behavior.
In deciding on our initial values for parameters during infection, we use Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS national prevalence data for Malawi, Zimbabwe, and Botswana. Nationwide seroprevalence of HIV in these countries varies from ≈11% to over 20% (3), although there may be considerable variation within given subpopulations (2, 49).
In the absence of HIV infection, the annual percent population growth rate in the model is ≈2.5%, predicting the present-day values for an average of sub-Saharan African cities (data not shown). To validate the model with HIV infection, we compare our simulation of the HIV epidemic to existing prevalence data for Kenya and Mozambique (http://www.who.int/emc-hiv/fact-sheets/pdfs/kenya.pdf and ref. 51). Prevalence data collected from these countries follow similar trajectories to those predicted by our model (Fig. 2).
Figure 2 Model simulation of HIV infection in a population lacking the protective CCR5Δ32 allele compared with national data from Kenya (healthy adults) and Mozambique (blood donors, ref. 17). The simulated population incorporates parameter estimates from sub-Saharan African demographics. Note the two outlier points from the Mozambique data were likely caused by underreporting in the early stages of the epidemic.

### Effects of the Allele on Prevalence.
After validating the model in the wild type-only population, both CCR5Δ32 heterozygous and homozygous people are included. Parameter values for HIV transmission, duration of illness, and numbers of contacts per partner are assumed to be the same within both settings. We then calculate HIV/AIDS prevalence among adults for total HIV/AIDS cases.
Although CCR5Δ32/Δ32 homozygosity is rarely seen in HIV-positive populations (prevalence ranges between 0 and 0.004%), 120% of people in HIV-negative populations of European descent are homozygous. Thus, to evaluate the potential impact of CCR5Δ32, we estimate there are 19% CCR5 W/Δ32 heterozygous and 1% CCR5 Δ32/Δ32 homozygous people in our population. These values are in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium with an allelic frequency of the mutation as 0.105573.
Fig. 3 shows the prevalence of HIV in two populations: one lacking the mutant CCR5 allele and another carrying that allele. In the population lacking the protective mutation, prevalence increases logarithmically for the first 35 years of the epidemic, reaching 18% before leveling off.
Figure 3 Prevalence of HIV/AIDS in the adult population as predicted by the model. The top curve (○) indicates prevalence in a population lacking the protective allele. We compare that to a population with 19% heterozygous and 1% homozygous for the allele (implying an allelic frequency of 0.105573. Confidence interval bands (light gray) are shown around the median simulation () providing a range of uncertainty in evaluating parameters for the effect of the mutation on the infectivity and the duration of asymptomatic HIV for heterozygotes.

In contrast, when a proportion of the population carries the CCR5Δ32 allele, the epidemic increases more slowly, but still logarithmically, for the first 50 years, and HIV/AIDS prevalence reaches ≈12% (Fig. 3). Prevalence begins to decline slowly after 70 years.
In the above simulations we assume that people with AIDS are not sexually active. However, when these individuals are included in the sexually active population the severity of the epidemic increases considerably (data not shown). Consistent with our initial simulations, prevalences are still relatively lower in the presence of the CCR5 mutation.
Because some parameters (e.g., rate constants) are difficult to estimate based on available data, we implement an uncertainty analysis to assess the variability in the model outcomes caused by any inaccuracies in estimates of the parameter values with regard to the effect of the allelic mutation. For these analyses we use Latin hypercube sampling, as described in refs. 5256, Our uncertainty and sensitivity analyses focus on infectivity vs. duration of infectiousness. To this end, we assess the effects on the dynamics of the epidemic for a range of values of the parameters governing transmission and progression rates: βîıı^^,^^,k k^^→i,j and γ i,j,k i,j,k. All other parameters are held constant. These results are presented as an interval band about the average simulation for the population carrying the CCR5Δ32 allele (Fig. 3). Although there is variability in the model outcomes, the analysis indicates that the overall model predictions are consistent for a wide range of transmission and progression rates. Further, most of the variation observed in the outcome is because of the transmission rates for both heterosexual males and females in the primary stage of infection (β2,M,A → i ,F, β2,F,A → i ,M). As mentioned above, we assume lower viral loads correlate with reduced infectivity; thus, the reduction in viral load in heterozygotes has a major influence on disease spread.
## HIV Induces Selective Pressure on Genotype Frequency
To observe changes in the frequency of the CCR5Δ32 allele in a setting with HIV infection as compared with the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in the absence of HIV, we follow changes in the total number of CCR5Δ32 heterozygotes and homozygotes over 1,000 years (Fig. 4). We initially perform simulations in the absence of HIV infection as a negative control to show there is not significant selection of the allele in the absence of infection. To determine how long it would take for the allelic frequency to reach present-day levels (e.g., q = 0.105573), we initiate this simulation for 1,000 years with a very small allelic frequency (q = 0.00105). In the absence of HIV, the allelic frequency is maintained in equilibrium as shown by the constant proportions of CCR5Δ32 heterozygotes and homozygotes (Fig. 4, solid lines). The selection for CCR5Δ32 in the presence of HIV is seen in comparison (Fig. 4, dashed lines). We expand the time frame of this simulation to 2,000 years to view the point at which the frequency reaches present levels (where q 0.105573 at year = 1200). Note that the allelic frequency increases for ≈1,600 years before leveling off.
Figure 4 Effects of HIV-1 on selection of the CCR5Δ32 allele. The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium level is represented in the no-infection simulation (solid lines) for each population. Divergence from the original Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is shown to occur in the simulations that include HIV infection (dashed lines). Fraction of the total subpopulations are presented: (A) wild types (W/W), (B) heterozygotes (W/Δ32), and (C) homozygotes (Δ32/Δ32). Note that we initiate this simulation with a much lower allelic frequency (0.00105) than used in the rest of the study to better exemplify the actual selective effect over a 1,000-year time scale.

## Discussion
This study illustrates how populations can differ in susceptibility to epidemic HIV/AIDS depending on a ubiquitous attribute such as a prevailing genotype. We have examined heterosexual HIV epidemics by using mathematical models to assess HIV transmission in dynamic populations either with or without CCR5Δ32 heterozygous and homozygous persons. The most susceptible population lacks the protective mutation in CCR5. In less susceptible populations, the majority of persons carrying the CCR5Δ32 allele are heterozygotes. We explore the hypothesis that lower viral loads (CCR5Δ32 heterozygotes) or resistance to infection (CCR5Δ32 homozygotes) observed in persons with this coreceptor mutation ultimately can influence HIV epidemic trends. Two contrasting influences of the protective CCR5 allele are conceivable: it may limit the epidemic by decreasing the probability of infection because of lower viral loads in infected heterozygotes, or it may exacerbate the epidemic by extending the time that infectious individuals remain in the sexually active population. Our results strongly suggest the former. Thus, the absence of this allele in Africa could explain the severity of HIV disease as compared with populations where the allele is present.
We also observed that HIV can provide selective pressure for the CCR5Δ32 allele within a population, increasing the allelic frequency. Other influences may have additionally selected for this allele. Infectious diseases such as plague and small pox have been postulated to select for CCR5Δ32 (57, 58). For plague, relatively high levels of CCR5Δ32 are believed to have arisen within ≈4,000 years, accounting for the prevalence of the mutation only in populations of European descent. Smallpox virus uses the CC-coreceptor, indicating that direct selection for mutations in CCR5 may have offered resistance to smallpox. Given the differences in the epidemic rates of plague (59), smallpox, and HIV, it is difficult to directly compare our results to these findings. However, our model suggests that the CCR5Δ32 mutation could have reached its present allelic frequency in Northern Europe within this time frame if selected for by a disease with virulence patterns similar to HIV. Our results further support the idea that HIV has been only recently introduced as a pathogen into African populations, as the frequency of the protective allele is almost zero, and our model predicts that selection of the mutant allele in this population by HIV alone takes at least 1,000 years. This prediction is distinct from the frequency of the CCR5Δ32 allele in European populations, where pathogens that may have influenced its frequency (e.g., Yersinia pestis) have been present for much longer.
Two mathematical models have considered the role of parasite and host genetic heterogeneity with regard to susceptibility to another pathogen, namely malaria (60, 61). In each it was determined that heterogeneity of host resistance facilitates the maintenance of diversity in parasite virulence. Given our underlying interest in the coevolution of pathogen and host, we focus on changes in a host protective mutation, holding the virulence of the pathogen constant over time.
Even within our focus on host protective mutations, numerous genetic factors, beneficial or detrimental, could potentially influence epidemics. Other genetically determined host factors affecting HIV susceptibility and disease progression include a CCR5 A/A to G/G promoter polymorphism (62), a CCR2 point mutation (11, 63), and a mutation in the CXCR4 ligand (64). The CCR2b mutation, CCR264I, is found in linkage with at least one CCR5 promoter polymorphism (65) and is prevalent in populations where CCR5Δ32 is nonexistent, such as sub-Saharan Africa (63). However, as none of these mutations have been consistently shown to be as protective as the CCR5Δ32 allele, we simplified our model to incorporate only the effect of CCR5Δ32. Subsequent models could be constructed from our model to account for the complexity of multiple protective alleles. It is interesting to note that our model predicts that even if CCR264I is present at high frequencies in Africa, its protective effects may not augment the lack of a protective allele such as CCR5Δ32.
Although our models demonstrate that genetic factors can contribute to the high prevalence of HIV in sub-Saharan Africa, demographic factors are also clearly important in this region. Our models explicitly incorporated such factors, for example, lack of treatment availability. Additional factors were implicitly controlled for by varying only the presence of the CCR5Δ32 allele. More complex models eventually could include interactions with infectious diseases that serve as cofactors in HIV transmission. The role of high sexually transmitted disease prevalences in HIV infection has long been discussed, especially in relation to core populations (15, 50, 66). Malaria, too, might influence HIV transmission, as it is associated with transient increases in semen HIV viral loads and thus could increase the susceptibility of the population to epidemic HIV (16).
In assessing the HIV/AIDS epidemic, considerable attention has been paid to the influence of core groups in driving sexually transmitted disease epidemics. Our results also highlight how characteristics more uniformly distributed in a population can affect susceptibility. We observed that the genotypic profile of a population affects its susceptibility to epidemic HIV/AIDS. Additional studies are needed to better characterize the influence of these genetic determinants on HIV transmission, as they may be crucial in estimating the severity of the epidemic in some populations. This information can influence the design of treatment strategies as well as point to the urgency for education and prevention programs.

Overall 74 districts in the dataset failed pre-TAS. Fig 5 summarizes the likelihood of failure by variable combinations identified in the log-binomial model. For those districts with a baseline prevalence ≥10% that used a FTS diagnostic test and have an average elevation below 350 meters (Combination C01), 87% of the 23 districts failed. Of districts with high baseline that used an ICT diagnostic test and have a low average elevation (C02) 45% failed. Overall, combinations with high baseline and low elevation C01, C02, and C04 accounted for 51% of all the failures (38 of 74).

Ducks eat food sources such as grasses, aquatic plants, fish, insects, small amphibians, worms, and small molluscs.
Dabbling ducks feed on the surface of water or on land, or as deep as they can reach by up-ending without completely submerging.[24] Along the edge of the bill, there is a comb-like structure called a pecten. This strains the water squirting from the side of the bill and traps any food. The pecten is also used to preen feathers and to hold slippery food items.

### Hunting
Main article: Waterfowl hunting
Humans have hunted ducks since prehistoric times. Excavations of middens in California dating to 7800 6400 BP have turned up bones of ducks, including at least one now-extinct flightless species.[33] Ducks were captured in "significant numbers" by Holocene inhabitants of the lower Ohio River valley, suggesting they took advantage of the seasonal bounty provided by migrating waterfowl.[34] Neolithic hunters in locations as far apart as the Caribbean,[35] Scandinavia,[36] Egypt,[37] Switzerland,[38] and China relied on ducks as a source of protein for some or all of the year.[39] Archeological evidence shows that Māori people in New Zealand hunted the flightless Finsch's duck, possibly to extinction, though rat predation may also have contributed to its fate.[40] A similar end awaited the Chatham duck, a species with reduced flying capabilities which went extinct shortly after its island was colonised by Polynesian settlers.[41] It is probable that duck eggs were gathered by Neolithic hunter-gathers as well, though hard evidence of this is uncommon.[35][42]
In many areas, wild ducks (including ducks farmed and released into the wild) are hunted for food or sport,[43] by shooting, or by being trapped using duck decoys. Because an idle floating duck or a duck squatting on land cannot react to fly or move quickly, "a sitting duck" has come to mean "an easy target". These ducks may be contaminated by pollutants such as PCBs.[44]

literature on consultation length in general practice was commissioned. The working group agreed
that the available evidence would be hard to interpret without discussion of the changing context
within which consultations now take place. For many years general practitioners and those who
have surveyed patients' opinions in the United Kingdom have complained about short consultation
time, despite a steady increase in actual mean length. Recently Mechanic pointed out that this is
also true in the United States.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref> Is there any justification
for a further increase in mean time allocated per consultation in general practice?</p>
<p>We report on the outcome of extensive debate among a group of general practitioners with an
interest in the process of care, with reference to the interim findings of the commissioned
systematic review and our personal databases. The review identified 14 relevant papers. <boxed-text>

<title>Longer consultations: benefits for patients</title>
<p>The systematic review consistently showed that doctors with longer consultation times
prescribe less and offer more advice on lifestyle and other health promoting activities. Longer
consultations have been significantly associated with better recognition and handling of
psychosocial problems<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">3</xref> and with better patient
enablement.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref> Also clinical care for some chronic illnesses
is better in practices with longer booked intervals between one appointment and the next.<xref
ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref> It is not clear whether time is itself the main influence or
whether some doctors insist on more time.</p>
<p>A national survey in 1998 reported that most (87&#x0025;) patients were satisfied with the
length of their most recent consultation.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref> Satisfaction
with any service will be high if expectations are met or exceeded. But expectations are modified
by previous experience.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">7</xref> The result is that primary care
patients are likely to be satisfied with what they are used to unless the context modifies the
effects of their own experience.</p>
</sec>
<sec>
<title>Context of modern consultations</title>
<p>Shorter consultations were more appropriate when the population was younger, when even a brief
absence from employment due to sickness required a doctor's note, and when many simple remedies
were available only on prescription. Recently at least five important influences have increased
the content and hence the potential length of the consultation.</p>
</sec>
<sec>
<title>Participatory consultation style</title>
<p>The most effective consultations are those in which doctors most directly acknowledge and
perhaps respond to patients' problems and concerns. In addition, for patients to be committed to
taking advantage of medical advice they must agree with both the goals and methods proposed. A
landmark publication in the United Kingdom was <italic>Meetings Between Experts</italic>, which
argued that while doctors are the experts about medical problems in general patients are the
experts on how they themselves experience these problems.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref>
New emphasis on teaching consulting skills in general practice advocated specific attention to
the patient's agenda, beliefs, understanding, and agreement. Currently the General Medical
Council, aware that communication difficulties underlie many complaints about doctors, has
further emphasised the importance of involving patients in consultations in its revised guidance
to medical schools.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">9</xref> More patient involvement should give
a better outcome, but this participatory style usually lengthens consultations.</p>
</sec>
<sec>
<title>Extended professional agenda</title>
<p>The traditional consultation in general practice was brief.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2"
>2</xref> The patient presented symptoms and the doctor prescribed treatment. In 1957 Balint
gave new insights into the meaning of symptoms.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">10</xref> By 1979
an enhanced model of consultation was presented, in which the doctors dealt with ongoing as well
as presenting problems and added health promotion and education about future appropriate use of
services.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">11</xref> Now, with an ageing population and more
community care of chronic illness, there are more issues to be considered at each consultation.
Ideas of what constitutes good general practice are more complex.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12"
>12</xref> Good practice now includes both extended care of chronic medical problems&#x2014;for
example, coronary heart disease<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">13</xref>&#x2014;and a public
health role. At first this model was restricted to those who lead change (&#x201C;early
adopters&#x201D;) and enthusiasts<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">14</xref> but now it is
embedded in professional and managerial expectations of good practice.</p>
<p>Adequate time is essential. It may be difficult for an elderly patient with several active
problems to undress, be examined, and get adequate professional consideration in under 15
minutes. Here the doctor is faced with the choice of curtailing the consultation or of reducing
the time available for the next patient. Having to cope with these situations often contributes
to professional dissatisfaction.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">15</xref> This combination of
more care, more options, and more genuine discussion of those options with informed patient
choice inevitably leads to pressure on time.</p>
</sec>
<sec>
<title>Access problems</title>
<p>In a service free at the point of access, rising demand will tend to increase rationing by
delay. But attempts to improve access by offering more consultations at short notice squeeze
consultation times.</p>
<p>While appointment systems can and should reduce queuing time for consultations, they have long
tended to be used as a brake on total demand.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B16">16</xref> This may
seriously erode patients' confidence in being able to see their doctor or nurse when they need
to. Patients are offered appointments further ahead but may keep these even if their symptoms
have remitted &#x201C;just in case.&#x201D; Availability of consultations is thus blocked.
Receptionists are then inappropriately blamed for the inadequate access to doctors.</p>
<p>In response to perception of delay, the government has set targets in the NHS plan of
&#x201C;guaranteed access to a primary care professional within 24 hours and to a primary care
doctor within 48 hours.&#x201D; Implementation is currently being negotiated.</p>
<p>Virtually all patients think that they would not consult unless it was absolutely necessary.
They do not think they are wasting NHS time and do not like being made to feel so. But
underlying general practitioners' willingness to make patients wait several days is their
perception that few of the problems are urgent. Patients and general practitioners evidently do
not agree about the urgency of so called minor problems. To some extent general practice in the
United Kingdom may have scored an &#x201C;own goal&#x201D; by setting up perceived access
barriers (appointment systems and out of hours cooperatives) in the attempt to increase
professional standards and control demand in a service that is free at the point of access.</p>
<p>A further government initiative has been to bypass general practice with new
services&#x2014;notably, walk-in centres (primary care clinics in which no appointment is
needed) and NHS Direct (a professional telephone helpline giving advice on simple remedies and
access to services). Introduced widely and rapidly, these services each potentially provide
significant features of primary care&#x2014;namely, quick access to skilled health advice and
first line treatment.</p>
</sec>
<sec>
<title>Loss of interpersonal continuity</title>
<p>If a patient has to consult several different professionals, particularly over a short period
of time, there is inevitable duplication of stories, risk of naive diagnoses, potential for
conflicting advice, and perhaps loss of trust. Trust is essential if patients are to accept the
&#x201C;wait and see&#x201D; management policy which is, or should be, an important part of the
management of self limiting conditions, which are often on the boundary between illness and
non-illness.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">17</xref> Such duplication again increases pressure
for more extra (unscheduled) consultations resulting in late running and professional
frustration.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">18</xref> </p>
<p>Mechanic described how loss of longitudinal (and perhaps personal and relational<xref
ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">19</xref>) continuity influences the perception and use of time
through an inability to build on previous consultations.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref>
Knowing the doctor well, particularly in smaller practices, is associated with enhanced patient
enablement in shorter time.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref> Though Mechanic pointed out
that three quarters of UK patients have been registered with their general practitioner five
years or more, this may be misleading. Practices are growing, with larger teams and more
registered patients. Being registered with a doctor in a larger practice is usually no guarantee
that the patient will be able to see the same doctor or the doctor of his or her choice, who may
be different. Thus the system does not encourage adequate personal continuity. This adds to
pressure on time and reduces both patient and professional satisfaction.</p>
</sec>
<sec>
<title>Health service reforms</title>
<p>Finally, for the past 15 years the NHS has experienced unprecedented change with a succession
of major administrative reforms. Recent reforms have focused on an NHS led by primary care,
including the aim of shifting care from the secondary specialist sector to primary care. One
consequence is increased demand for primary care of patients with more serious and less stable
problems. With the limited piloting of reforms we do not know whether such major redirection can
be achieved without greatly altering the delicate balance between expectations (of both patients
and staff) and what is delivered.</p>
</sec>
<sec>
<title>The future</title>
<p>We think that the way ahead must embrace both longer mean consultation times and more
flexibility. More time is needed for high quality consultations with patients with major and
complex problems of all kinds. But patients also need access to simpler services and advice.
This should be more appropriate (and cost less) when it is given by professionals who know the
patient and his or her medical history and social circumstances. For doctors, the higher quality
associated with longer consultations may lead to greater professional satisfaction and, if these
longer consultations are combined with more realistic scheduling, to reduced levels of
stress.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">20</xref> They will also find it easier to develop
further the care of chronic disease.</p>
<p>The challenge posed to general practice by walk-in centres and NHS Direct is considerable, and
the diversion of funding from primary care is large. The risk of waste and duplication increases
as more layers of complexity are added to a primary care service that started out as something
familiar, simple, and local and which is still envied in other developed countries.<xref
ref-type="bibr" rid="B21">21</xref> Access needs to be simple, and the advantages of personal
knowledge and trust in minimising duplication and overmedicalisation need to be exploited.</p>
<p>We must ensure better communication and access so that patients can more easily deal with
minor issues and queries with someone they know and trust and avoid the formality and
inconvenience of a full face to face consultation. Too often this has to be with a different
professional, unfamiliar with the nuances of the case. There should be far more managerial
emphasis on helping patients to interact with their chosen practitioner<xref ref-type="bibr"
rid="B22">22</xref>; such a programme has been described.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B23"
>23</xref> Modern information systems make it much easier to record which doctor(s) a patient
prefers to see and to monitor how often this is achieved. The telephone is hardly modern but is
underused. Email avoids the problems inherent in arranging simultaneous availability necessary
for telephone consultations but at the cost of reducing the communication of emotions. There is
a place for both.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref> Access without prior appointment is a
valued feature of primary care, and we need to know more about the right balance between planned
and ad hoc consulting.</p>
</sec>
<sec>
<title>Next steps</title>
<p>General practitioners do not behave in a uniform way. They can be categorised as slow, medium,
and fast and react in different ways to changes in consulting speed.<xref ref-type="bibr"
rid="B18">18</xref> They are likely to have differing views about a widespread move to lengthen
consultation time. We do not need further confirmation that longer consultations are desirable
and necessary, but research could show us the best way to learn how to introduce them with
minimal disruption to the way in which patients and practices like primary care to be
provided.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B24">24</xref> We also need to learn how to make the most of
available time in complex consultations.</p>
<p>Devising appropriate incentives and helping practices move beyond just reacting to demand in
the traditional way by working harder and faster is perhaps our greatest challenge in the United
Kingdom. The new primary are trusts need to work together with the growing primary care research
networks to carry out the necessary development work. In particular, research is needed on how a
primary care team can best provide the right balance of quick access and interpersonal knowledge
and trust.</p>
