    AbstractMost initiatives to cope with increased winter workloads come from hospitals. The potential for co-operative efforts between hospitals and general practice is largely unexplored. One general practice, a total purchasing pilot site, plans to minimise the demand for emergency admissions by identifying patients at risk and having a nurse visit them in autumn to check their health. The practice estimates the project will be self-financing if it saves 12 admissions.
