A notable feature of British Orthodontics in recent years has been the enormous increase in the number of cases taken on for treatment by practitioners in the National Health Service. Whilst references have been made in the past to possible regional variations in demand, no effort has been made to relate this to the local child population. The present study attempts this. The familiar North and South difference is found with some discrepancies and an explanation is offered.

This paper reports on two studies which investigated levels of discontinued orthodontic treatment amongst patients under IS years, who had been treated in the General Dental Service (GDS) and Community Dental Service (CDS) of the National Health Service during June and July 1991. These complement the study of discontinued Hospital Dented Service treatment already reported. The studies indicated that, at the time, the levels were 13·1 per cent in the GDS and 12·5 per cent in the CDS. The figure for the GDS was much lower than that of 20 per cent reported in the Sehansehieff Report. There was little difference in the levels of discontinued treatment between those working in the GDS with an orthodontic qualification (12·1 per cent) and those without (13·5 per cent). The results suggest that the levels for discontinued orthodontic treatment in those aged under 18 years of age may be lower than previously reported.

Im Artikel werden persönliche Erfahrungen als Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP) in der Thoraxchirurgie im National Health Service (NHS) in Großbritannien geschildert. Die tägliche Routine wurde von sieben Kompetenzdomänen bestimmt, nämlich: Management des Gesundheits- und Krankheitszustandes des Patienten, Beziehungen zwischen Pflegeperson und Patient, Lehren und Unterrichten, professionelle Rolle, Leitung und Führung innerhalb der Patientenversorgung, Qualitätsmanagement sowie kulturelle und spirituelle Kompetenzen. Diese Elemente wurden durch die Zusatzqualifikation, selbstständig Medikamente verschreiben und verordnen zu dürfen, erweitert, was dazu beitrug, eine nahtlose Erbringung von Pflege- und Serviceleistungen zu gewähren. Die Position wurde zur zentralen Anlaufstelle im multi-professionellen Team und stellte eine kontinuierliche Weiterführung der Pflege von Patienten und ihren Familien sicher – auch über Krankenhausgrenzen hinweg.
