Writing a good outpatient letter means addressing it to the patient
In many countries (including the UK and Australia) it is still common practice for hospital doctors to write letters to patients’ general practitioners (GPs) following outpatient consultations, and for patients to receive copies of these letters.
However, Hugh Rayner, consultant nephrologist, and Peter Rees, former Chair of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges' lay patient committee, suggest that hospital doctors who have changed their practice to include writing letters directly to patients have more patient centred consultations and experience smoother handovers with other members of their multidisciplinary teams.

From dance class to social prescription - starting and evaluating an idea
If you read the Christmas BMJ in the last few weeks, you might have noticed a lot around art and health - the way in which engagement in arts can help in prevention and treatment, but can also affect those more nebulous things which really matter to patients - loneliness, self expression, being connected to the wider community.
That obviously links to social prescribing, which looks like it’s going to be one of the big changes to medicine which will happen in near future.
In this podcast we hear from Simon Opher, a GP in gloucestershire who has had artists and poets in residence in his surgery, and has experience of s...

Earthquakes caused by too much water extraction, and a dog cancer that has lived for millennia
After two mysterious earthquake swarms occurred under the Sea of Galilee, researchers found a relationship between these small quakes and the excessive extraction of groundwater. Science journalist Michael Price talks with host Sarah Crespi about making this connection and what it means for water-deprived fault areas like the Sea of Galilee and the state of California.
Also this week, Sarah talks with graduate student Adrian Baez-Ortega from the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom’s Transmissible Cancer Group about the genome of a canine venereal cancer that has been leaping from dog to dog for about 8000 yea...

Robert Anders, MD, PhD - Keeping Up With Advances in Cancer Immunotherapy and Biomarker Testing: Implications for Pathologists at the Forefront of the Emerging Precision Immuno-Oncology Era
Go online to PeerView.com/FJP860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. Cancer immunotherapies are demonstrating remarkable clinical activity in an increasing number of solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. Reliable biomarkers are needed to guide clinical decisions regarding treatment selection and identification of patients who are most likely to benefit. Testing for programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression and the presence of DNA mismatch repair deficiencies (dMMR) or high levels of microsatellite instability (MSI-H) should presently be routinely done ...
