Proteinuria: detection and quantitation in adults using ACR: information for GPs (12th March 2009)
Proteinuria is an important indicator of kidney disease, and the risk of its progression; its measurement is part of the diagnosis, staging and monitoring of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Information sheets have been produced for laboratories, and for GPs, which summarise the benefits of using ACR, and provide practical guidance on its use.

Changing Partnerships (19th March 2009)
This discussion paper, from the Royal College of General Practitioners, questions whether the shifting employment landscape will ultimately diminish the role of the GP in the UK and lead to fewer candidates choosing general practice as a career.
Until the late 1990s a partnership arrangement with doctors working as self-employed contractors was the norm, but the recent rise of salaried positions among younger GPs has led to concerns over the future continuity and quality of patient care, and specifically doctors' personal and financial commitment to their work in the community.
