One in 10 visits to a GP is dermatology related. This simulation tests what would happen if more GPs developed a special interest in dermatology and were able to see and treat patients themselves. Alter the per cent of patients seen by GPs with special interests to see the impact on cost of service, workload and hospital activity.

  • Would a GP led service be cheaper than an outpatient visit in my region?
  • Will GPs be able to manage the additional work within existing resources?
  • How will this affect the ability of my hospital to run a specialist dermatology service?

Experiment with different scenarios in the simulation to evaluate which option will work best for your health system.

About the Simulation Lab

The Simulation Lab is a toolkit of online simulations that allow you to experiment with your healthcare improvement ideas in a risk free environment.

Each month, we’ll add a new simulation that explores the key issues facing healthcare organisations today and give you the chance to ask ‘What if?’ questions like:

  • What if I introduced new treatment options - would I reduce waiting times?
  • What if I reworked shift patterns - could I ensure quality of patient care?
  • What if demand increased - can my system cope?

The simulations allow you to enter your own data and experiment with different scenarios to evaluate which option will work best for your health system.

If you have a simulation you’d like us to create, or you’d like to give us feedback, please contact healthcare@SIMUL8.com
