Telephone-first

Recent years have seen increasing pressure on primary care appointments, with ‘telephone-first’ introduced in the UK to manage demand and workload. This study examines how older people and general practice staff experience telephone-first to make appointments.

Bullying

School bullying is an important public health issue with profound mental and physical health consequences, but in France data are lacking on prevalence and detection.
