Inappropriate antibiotic prescribing is common in outpatient settings across the United States. A recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and The Pew Charitable Trusts found that nearly 1 in 3 antibiotics prescribed at outpatient facilities—including physician’s offices, emergency departments, and hospital-based outpatient clinics—is unnecessary, equaling 47 million prescriptions each year.

Mashup Score: 94NHS culture change is difficult, not impossible—but essential, says health ombudsman - 4 month(s) ago
A toxic culture of defensiveness and hostility pervades the NHS, and despite many patient safety reviews nothing has fundamentally changed, Rob Behrens tells Abi Rimmer Early on in his career as a civil servant, Rob Behrens, now the parliamentary and health service ombudsman, was sent by the UK government to South Africa, to work on the transformation from apartheid to democracy. “People in Britain used to say what they had to do was hard. I would come back from South Africa and say, ‘You don’t know you’re born.’” It’s an anecdote he uses when talking about culture change in the NHS. Although change might be difficult, it is not impossible, and it is something that needs to happen, says Behrens, whose role is to adjudicate independently on complaints that have not been resolved by the NHS in England and UK government departments. “There is huge professionalism and commitment throughout the NHS. It’s been through the mill in a way that no other institution has—because of covid, strikes,

Mashup Score: 17
A consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist who claims that he was victimised for raising patient safety issues in midwifery and maternity care has lost his whistleblowing case at an employment tribunal.
