Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A pilot electronic booking project for outpatient appointments at King's College Hospital, London, has been well received by consultants. But only a minority of practices are taking part--only 24 of the 160 local practices are participating. A considerable culture change is needed to persuade practices to become involved. GPs accustomed to traditional referral letters find electronic referrals a big step. More day-to-day support might encourage GP involvement.
