Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Increasing patient choice is a major theme of the NHS plan. For clinicians, this may mean offering NHS out-patient services at unfamiliar times, such as evenings or weekends. Published surveys of patients' views generally show high levels of satisfaction with appointments between 9 am and 5 pm, although there is a cohort of younger, employed patients who have expressed interest in evening clinics. This study attempted both to quantify the demand for evening ENT clinics and to target the patient group most likely to take up the offer of an evening appointment. When surveyed, approximately one-quarter of four hundred and fifty out-patients stated they would have preferred an evening appointment. However, when this group was targeted and formally offered a choice of time, only 1% of patients tried to change from daytime to evening. There is effectively no demand amongst NHS patients for ENT evening out-patient clinics.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
