Cancers, Vol. 14, Pages 5463: Enhanced Recovery after Uterine Corpus Cancer Surgery: A 10 Year Retrospective Cohort Study of Robotic Surgery in an NHS Cancer Centre
Simon Butler-Manuel
Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust introduced robotic surgery for uterine corpus cancer in 2010 to support increased access to minimally invasive surgery, a central element of an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathway. More than 1750 gynaecological oncology robotic procedures have now been performed at Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust. A retrospective cohort study was performed of patients undergoing surgery for uterine corpus cancer between the 1 January 2010 and the 31 December 2019 to evaluate its success. Data was extracted from the dedicated gynaecological oncology database and a detail...

Ethics briefing
The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust - Cass Review and potential further legal action In previous Ethics briefings1 we have highlighted the developments in the case of Bell & Another v the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust. The case concerned a judicial review of the practice of prescribing puberty blocking treatment to children and young people at the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) managed by the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust (the Trust). The Court of Appeal in its judgement2 found the Trust’s practices to be lawful, and overturned previous guidance given by the High C...

Mental Health Review Journal, Vol. ahead-of-print, No. ahead-of-print, pp.-
“Social recovery” is a long-cited aim within the UK early intervention in psychosis (EIP) services; however, there is a lack of evidence regarding existing social recovery provisions and how these can be improved. This paper aims to evaluate an existing social drop-in facility within an EIP team, ran within the Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust, and highlight the potential benefits of delivering such servic...

Protocol for an observational study investigating hormones triggering the onset of sustained lactation: the INSIGHT study
Introduction
Lactation is a hormonally controlled process that promotes infant growth and neurodevelopment and reduces the long-term maternal risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and breast cancer. Hormones, such as prolactin and progesterone, mediate mammary development during pregnancy and are critical for initiating copious milk secretion within 24–72 hours post partum. However, the hormone concentrations mediating lactation onset are ill defined.
Methods and analysis
The primary objective of the investigating hormones triggering the onset of sustained lactation study is to establish reference intervals for t...

Obsessive –compulsive disorder in treatment seeking children & amp; adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic
This study aims to investigate whether the pandemic is associated with increased referral of young people with OCD, any changes in their symptom severity and treatment offered.MethodsService data were used to investigate 58 young people (8 –17 years) referred and assessed in the Central and Northwest London NHS Foundation Trust Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS), before and during the COVID-19 pandemic (months March-October 2018–2020). Changes in symptom severity were measured using the Health of the Nation Outcom e Scale for Children and Adolescents (HoNOSCA). Patient records were reviewed to assess i...

020 The headache hub: a multidisciplinary diagnosis and management resource for GPs
The need to improve care of patients with headache prompted development of a new model in South West London. The Headache Hub, piloted at St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, consisted of a multidisciplinary team; Consultant Neurologists, GP with Extended Role and Allied Health Professionals. The Hub triages new GP referrals and offers an online migraine group clinic (engaging patients through shared medical appointments in a group setting).
Between April-December 2021, 171 GP referred patients were seen, of which 96 (48%) had Chronic Migraine (CM), 36 (18%) High Frequency Episodic Migraine and 23 (...

A Machine Learning Solution to Predict Elective Orthopedic Surgery Case Duration
Stud Health Technol Inform. 2022 Jun 29;295:559-561. doi: 10.3233/SHTI220789.ABSTRACTWe used surgery durations, patient demographic and personnel data taken from the East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust (EKHUFT) over a period of 10 years (2010-2019) for a total of 25,352 patients that underwent 15 highest volume elective orthopedic surgeries, to predict future surgery durations for the subset of elective surgeries under consideration. As part of this study, we compared two different ensemble machine learning methods random forest regression (RF) and XGBoost (eXtreme Gradient Boosting) regression. The two mod...
