Mashup Score: 52Helen Salisbury: It’s time to push back against the destruction of general practice - 2 month(s) ago
Sometimes I wonder if I’m doing general practice wrong. So many consultations not only take longer than the time allotted but also create more work to be done at the end of the day: letters to read, referrals to write, things to look up and pass back to the patient. This means that I rarely leave the surgery until the cleaning staff have been and gone. But when I look at the various alternative models being touted,12 which promise an efficient service where doctors can concentrate on complex patients while “simple” cases are seen by other healthcare workers, it doesn’t look like an improvement.34 If my patient’s problem is …

Mashup Score: 8
As randomized controlled trials are not always feasible, quasi-experimental methods, such as regression discontinuity design, can expand the scope of clinical investigations aimed at causal inference in observational settings. However, clinical researchers are likely to be less familiar with and have less training in quasi-experimental designs. This article focuses on implementation and provides a detailed checklist, glossary, and guided example for how to conduct an analysis of regression discontinuity design, with the aim to help clinical researchers read, conduct, and interpret regression discontinuity design and, overall, to encourage its wider adoption in clinical practice. Everyday medical practice is largely shaped by evidence from clinical research activities, such as understanding treatment effects of prescribed drugs, changes in clinical guidelines, or program evaluation of medical services. While such evidence would ideally come from randomized controlled trials, these trial

Mashup Score: 5When tackling racism is everyone’s problem, it becomes no one’s - 2 month(s) ago
There’s been a spate of recent tribunals and cases from NHS staff on the grounds of workplace discrimination. In 2023 alone there were—among many others—the cases of Michelle Cox, Adelaide Kweyama, Melissa Thermidor, Ubah Jama, Valentine Udoye, Olukemi Akinmeji, and Samira Shaikh.1234567 The extent of discrimination in the NHS is depressingly well described: several iterations of data from the Workforce Race Equality Standard (WRES) have shown the pernicious, widespread, and enduring nature of this fact.8 A new report from the charity Brap,9 showing that the health service is still failing to tackle racism in its ranks, should make for uncomfortable reading among senior NHS leaders. They are, after all, responsible for the welfare of their staff. And the glacial pace of change means either that they’ve taken little action to eliminate discrimination or that their efforts have been ineffective. Either way, this is not a good look—especially as the interventions that work to tackle racis
