Cycling - Does the health benefit outweigh the accident risk (in the UK)
We all know we should be doing more exercise, and one way to do that is by active commuting - journeying to work on foot or by bike.
One thing preventing people from taking up cycling is the fear of being involved in road traffic accidents, and that the risk isn't worth the benefit of the extra exercise. It’s even more confusing when air pollution has to be taken into account.
Joining us to discuss new research into that ris k/benefit calculation are
Paul Welsh, a Senior Lecturer, and Carlos Celis, a research fellow, both Institute of Cardiovascular& Medical Sciences at the University of Glasgow.

Improving the implementation of health-promoting policies and practices in workplaces
When someone mentions the workplace and health, our first thoughts might be about safety and avoiding accidents, but workplaces also provide an opportunity for interventions to improve the general health of employees. Luke Wolfenden of the University of Newcastle in Callaghan, Australia and colleagues have looked into this and we asked him to tell us what they found for their new Cochrane Review, published in November 2018.

Nuffield Summit 2018 - HR in all policies, how the NHS can become a good employer
In this year's Nuffield Summit round table we're asking, how can the NHS become a good employer?
At the moment, there is a recruitment and retention crisis across the workforce, doctors and nurses are leaving the NHS in droves, rota gaps are prevalent. A recent BMA survey showed that the majority of junior doctors are now planning to take a career break.
So against this backdrop, what can the NHS do to nurture it's employees, and make medicine an exciting proposition for the millennial, and subsequent, generations.
Taking part are:
Fiona Godlee (Chair), editor-in-chief, The BMJ
Candace Imison, director of policy, The ...

"Re-touched" -- The Discovery Files
Imagine being in an accident that leaves you unable to feel any sensation in your arms and fingers. Now imagine regaining that sensation, a decade later, through a mind-controlled robotic arm that is directly connected to your brain. That is what 28-year-old Nathan Copeland experienced after he came out of brain surgery and was connected to the Brain Computer Interface (BCI), developed by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC.

BMJ roundtable: How to fix out of hours care
The BMJ recently held a discussion between experts in the fields of general practice, emergency medicine, and paediatrics about the state of out of hours care in the UK, and crucially offered their vision for a better service.
Are children a special case, can urgent care ‘hubs’ be a silver bullet, is NHS 111 up to the job of triaging patients, do there enough clinicians involved in out of hours care, and are other countries doing a better job?
The state of out of hours care can best be described as ‘patchy,’ w ith some, even most, people receiving good and timely care although from a confusing plethora of diffe...
