Fournier ’s Gangrene Reconstruction. A 10-year retrospective analysis of practice at Guys and St Thomas’s NHS Foundation Trust
Fournier's Gangrene is a rare and potentially fatal condition, that affects the external genitalia and perineum as a necrotising soft tissue infection. It is equally prevalent in men and women and although there are many ways to manage the condition, it must be done so effectively because there is a chance that life-threatening complications could develop. This retrospective study set out to fill any knowledge gaps, compare reconstructive options to those described in the literature, and promote reflection on current management.

Compliance with a guideline on outpatient medical management of miscarriage in a gynaecology ED
This article describes the clinical audit of the Outpatient Medical Management of Miscarriage Guideline (Guideline 2) within the Gynaecology Emergency Department (GED) at a single site dedicated Gynaecology and Maternity Hospital in the UK, the Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Trust.

Associations of remote mental healthcare with clinical outcomes: a natural language processing enriched electronic health record data study protocol
Introduction
People often experience significant difficulties in receiving mental healthcare due to insufficient resources, stigma and lack of access to care. Remote care technology has the potential to overcome these barriers by reducing travel time and increasing frequency of contact with patients. However, the safe delivery of remote mental healthcare requires evidence on which aspects of care are suitable for remote delivery and which are better served by in-person care. We aim to investigate clinical and demographic associations with remote mental healthcare in a large electronic health record (EHR) dataset and the de...

Observational prospective study of social media, smartphone use and self-harm in a clinical sample of young people: study protocol
This study is one of the first attempts to explore temporal patterns of real-world usage prior to self-harm, to identify whether there are usage patterns associated with an increased risk.
Methods and analysis
To study the mechanisms by which social media and smartphone use underpin self-harm in a clinical sample of young people, the Social media, Smartphone use and Self-harm in Young People (3S-YP) study uses a prospective, observational study design. Up to 600 young people aged 13–25 years old from secondary mental health services will be recruited and followed for up to 6 months. Primary analysis will compare rea...

Using clinical surveillance software to support effective infection prevention and control for managing COVID-19
This article outlines the experience of a rural district general hospital using digital solutions for infection prevention and control before and during the pandemic. The author will explore the experience of a hospital that implemented specialised clinical surveillance software, how it was applied to management and control of COVID-19 cases, and how the availability of that system allowed for continued focus on controlling other pathogens in the hospital environment, even at the height of the pandemic.PMID:36715527 | DOI:10.12968/bjon.2023.32.2.52 (Source: British Journal of Nursing)

Letter to the editor: Listening to the patient voice: A UK perspective
For the last eight years I have chaired the Patient Advisory Group (PAG) at the UK College of Radiographers (CoR), having previously been part of the CoR Public and Patient Liaison Group. I became involved with the UK CoR as a means of giving something back, after receiving swift and efficient treatment for a serious illness. Following a steep learning curve, I became actively involved in the Group, and was a member of the working party which wrote the CoR response to the findings of the Francis Report which followed the Public Inquiry into the Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust in 2013.
