Hi Paul,

We can do it but I am increasingly of the view that although it makes some
clinicians very happy it makes many others very unhappy as proper POMR
requires huge discipline, and is hard to maintain. As others have said ...
links.. but manging those links both clinically and technically is
challenging.

I spent much of GP career advocating (and doing) POMR but I'm not now at
all convinced that the effort is worth it or sustainable.
