AbstractTonsillectomy is a commonly performed operation in children. Although the justification for this procedure has been debatable in the past, more rigorous criteria in defining the need for tonsillectomies are becoming established. The role of the primary care physician in the management of tonsillar disease in children is important as the decision to refer a child for tonsillectomy is made by the general practitioner. A questionnaire survey of 400 general practitioners (GPs) and 31 consultant ENT surgeons was carried out to establish the important criteria used in deciding the need for paediatric tonsillectomy. We found that in general there was a good correlation between GP and Consultant indications for tonsillectomy. However there were two important areas of difference, while most of the GPs felt that recurrent ear infections and ‘glue ear’ were important indications for tonsillectomy, Consultants did not. Therefore we must be aware of the current recommendations for tonsillectomy and inform present and future GPs.

Abstract Background Problems linked to the coordination of care may represent a lack of communication between levels of care and reflect diagnostic errors, duplication of tests and unnecessary hospitalizations. This study aims to understand the role of communicational relationships between professionals and their influence on coordination between levels of care. Methods An evaluative and qualitative nature research. 24 interviews were carried out, with primary care physicians and specialists, institutional supporters and managers of a public health network in Pernambuco, Brazil. The content thematic analysis worked out sought to identify synergies and contradictions in the relationships between the actors. Results Knowledge about the role of primary care was incomplete, not being understood its primary role as a care provider. The primary care physician was not recognized as the responsible physician by most professionals. The specialists considered the references poorly filled out and showed a lack of confidence in the primary care physician, who in turn revealed that he did not receive any counter-reference and difficulty in contacting a specialist. Few articulation mechanisms have been reported between levels and the use of informal communication mechanisms. The managers acknowledged the existence of problems, but highlighted the commitment of management in the actions for organizing the network. The “goodwill” of the professionals was considered an articulation facilitator, but not a sufficient practice. Conclusions The results allowed to deepen the look at the complexity of the relationships between the actors and how they can influence coordination. Since is perceived the communicational tensions and weaknesses, it is urgent to think of strategies that establish institutionalized spaces for meetings and dialogues that allow articulation among professionals. Key messages The study analyzes communicational relationships between primary and specialized care professionals and their influence on the coordination of care. Strategies for mutual collaboration are mandatory.
