Our research team and clinical academics use and evaluate SPICT-DE in different care settings in Germany, including general practice.
SPICT Uses
We have worked closely with the SPICT International Programme for several years and Dr Kambiz Afshar has led the translation and adaptation of SPICT-DE and SPICT-4ALL-DE.
