Treatment results were equally good regardless of whether patients were treated at a pharmacy, A&amp;E or GP practice. Overall, the study estimates that 3% of all A&amp;E consultations and 5.5% of GP consultations for common ailments could be managed in community pharmacies. This equates to over 650,000 visits to A&amp;E and over 18 million GP consultations every year that could be diverted with a total annual cost saving of over \u00a31billion.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Liver disease profiles &#8211;\u00a0\u00a0Public Health England (PHE)\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nThese <a href=\"http:\/\/fingertips.phe.org.uk\/profile\/liver-disease\" target=\"_blank\">profiles <\/a>contain data which reveal the geographic variation in mortality of patients with liver disease across the country. Some populations are more affected by liver disease than others. For example, the male mortality rate is 4 times higher in some local authorities compared to others. Similarly, there are large variations in hospital admissions from liver disease. Over 90% of liver disease is due to 3 main preventable and treatable risk factors: alcohol, hepatitis B and C, and obesity.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Improving The Delivery Of Adult Diabetes Care Through Integration \u2013 Diabetes UK<\/strong><br \/>\nThis <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diabetes.org.uk\/Documents\/About%20Us\/What%20we%20say\/Integrated%20diabetes%20care%20(PDF,%20648KB).pdf\" target=\"_blank\">report <\/a>explains how diabetes care can be improved to achieve better outcomes for people with diabetes.
