GP Career Plus, the GP Retention Scheme and the National GP Induction and Refresher Scheme will all help get valuable experienced GPs back into our NHS. 3,157 GP training places were also filled in 2017 – the highest number ever.</p> more like this

NHS Choices provides advice on the symptoms of iron deficiency anaemia, such as fatigue, palpitations, pale complexion and advises anyone experiencing those symptoms speak to their general practitioner (GP). NHS Choices also provides advice on the less common types of anaemia related to levels of vitamin B12 or folate.</p><p> </p><p>It is the responsibility of GPs, using their clinical judgement and supported by relevant guidance, to arrange the appropriate tests and investigations that may lead to a diagnosis. The full blood count, one the most commonly used tests in the National Health Service, is a broad screening tool used to provide a picture of patient health and check for indications of disorders such as anaemia, infection, and many other diseases.</p><p> </p><p>A range of guidance on the further testing and treatment of all types anaemia is available from sources including the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence Clinical Knowledge Summaries (CKS) website.

star this property answer text <p>NHS England will enrol 10,000 participants over three years at clinics across the country in the pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) IMPACT trial. The trial will provide data on implementation of PrEP and its impact on HIV transmission among high-risk groups, not those at any risk.</p><p> </p><p>Individuals for enrolment to the trial will be assessed against inclusion and exclusion criteria in order to target those at high risk of getting HIV and therefore most likely to benefit. National Health Service funded access to PrEP drugs is only available through the IMPACT trial.</p><p> </p><p>NHS England and Public Health England have been actively supporting the PrEP IMPACT trial sponsor in accelerating ethical approval and trial site recruitment. It was not possible to complete all the necessary steps to achieve a September 2017 start because of the large number of trial sites. Trial sites have to assure the trial co-ordination centre has ethical approval, drug procurement, trial site feasibility assessments, trial site training, local commissioner approval and local research governance approval in place before permission to recruit is given. This is dependent on local processes and is variable. Trial opening dates will be staggered to reflect this.</p><p> </p><p>The first clinics began be enrolling patients in October and a number of clinics will be opening within weeks of each other, both in and outside London. The trial sponsor anticipates that up to 70 sites will be enrolling patients by the end of November. All clinics should be enrolling patients by April 2018.</p><p> </p><p>As the largest single study of its type in the world, the PrEP trial is complex, involving well in excess of 100 organisations ranging from sexual health clinics, local authority commissioners, research bodies, and a drug manufacturer. The aim is to ensure multiple clinics across the country can provide geographical access and avoid surges to individual clinics. As trial sites open, information will be uploaded to the trial website enabling individuals who wish to participate in the trial to identify their nearest local clinic.</p><p> </p><p>Of the 10,000 trial places, an initial 2,000 places are being reserved for groups at high HIV risk other than gay men. The trial co-ordinating team will monitor PrEP uptake and keep this initial ring-fence under review.</p><p> </p><p>Further information on the trial can be found at the following link:</p><p> </p><p>https://www.prepimpacttrial.org.uk/</p>
