TL;DR: The findings emphasise the need of standardising the reporting of aetiological studies to develop effective, evidence-based fever management and improved surveillance and research and development of diagnostic tools would benefit from up-to-date epidemiological reporting of the regional diversities of non-malaria fever aetiologies.

Elena Pizzo,Anthony A Laverty,Karen J Phekoo,Ghida AlJuburi,Stuart A. Green,Derek Bell,Azeem Majeed +6 more
TL;DR: SCD represents a significant cost for commissioners and the NHS and further work is required to assess how best to manage patients in the community, which could potentially lead to a reduction in hospital admissions and length of stay, and their associated costs.

Derek Bell,Tim Gray +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine four aspects of these criticisms - lack of a coherent vision, low public profile, failure as a regulator, and lack of accountability, and conclude that until and unless the Government takes steps to clarify precisely what is the Environment Agency's proper role, the critics have often failed to take into account the constraints under which the Agency operates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Caroline Patterson,Edward D. Nicol,L. Bryan,Thomas Woodcock,J. Collinson,Simon P.G. Padley,Derek Bell +6 more
TL;DR: Patients attending RACPC will have a greater likelihood of coronary artery disease than predicted by NICE, and differences between recommended investigations and existing practice will guide investment in cardiac services.
Journal ArticleDOI
