A
recurring criticism of the UK's university sector
is its perceived weakness in translating new
knowledge into new products
concentrated:
less

25%
of
universities
receive

of
the
research
funding.
These

of
PhD
graduates,

It
seems
clear
that
the
concentration
of
research

commercialisation
work
creates differences between
universities.
The core objective for
universities which are research-led must be to
maximise the impact of their research efforts.
These
universities should be generating
the widest range of social, economic and
environmental benefits. In return for the scale
of investment, they should share their
expertise in order to build greater confidence in
the sector.
Part of the economic
recovery of the UK will be driven by the next
generation of research commercialisation spilling

Crippling health care bills, long
emergency-room waits and the inability to find a
primary care physician just scratch the
surface of the problems that patients
face daily.
Primary
care
should
be
the
backbone
of
any
health
care
system.
Countries
with
appropriate
primary
care
resources
score highly when
it comes to health outcomes and cost. The . takes
the opposite approach by emphasizing the
specialist
rather than the primary care
physician.
A
recent study analyzed the providers who treat
Medicare
beneficiaries
（老年医保受惠人）
. The
startling finding was
that the average
Medicare patient saw a total of seven doctors-two
primary care physicians and five specialists-in a
given
year. Contrary to popular belief,
the more physicians taking care of you don't
guarantee better care. In fact, studies show
that increasing fragmentation of care
results in a corresponding rise in cost and
medical errors.
How did we let primary care slip so
far? The key is how doctors are paid. Most
physicians are paid whenever they
