| | 169 | === Assumptions in the code |
| | 170 | |
| | 171 | ==== Which GPs are we interested in |
| | 172 | |
| | 173 | Ideally, we would be interested in every GP linked to a practice we are interested in. Pragmatically, we are going to say that we are interested only GPs whose main practice is one we are interested in. |
| | 174 | |
| | 175 | This assumption is deemed to be safe because: |
| | 176 | |
| | 177 | 1. Any other practices that the GP is linked to are likely to be in the areas that we are interested in. |
| | 178 | 1. GPs whose main branch is not in our area are less likely to be of interest to us. |
| | 179 | |
| | 180 | ==== When does a GP get deleted |
| | 181 | |
| | 182 | A GP gets deleted when they leave their main branch. Links to other branches are ignored. |
