• Information about how the service is funded
• Job descriptions / competencies
• Any evaluation activity e.g. numbers seen, effect on waiting lists, satisfaction
• Additional information that you feel would be of interest to others thinking of implementing the PwSI model
• Is the service identified in the LDP?
• Are those services that have been identified for redesign linked to the NHS plan?
• Is there a real need for this service to be developed locally?
• Do you already have clinicians on the ground to run this service?
• Can this service be delivered by another health professional ie Nurse, Physio etc?
• Can you look at a team approach (TwSI around CDM)?

The searchable database of Practitioners with a Special Interest has now been removed from the NatPaCT website. The database was originally compiled in 2002, based on returns from Primary Care Trusts. It has unfortunately not been possible to validate that information or repeat the exercise to ensure that the database is accurate and up-to-date. Users of the database may well have noted that the contacts and scheme details were increasingly inaccurate, and it was felt that the database has now reached the point where it has outlived its usefulness. It has therefore been withdrawn
