Patient-initiated follow-up in gynaecology: Patient and clinician views
Outpatient hospital appointments in the UK have almost doubled in number in the last decade. Two-thirds of outpatient appointments in the UK are for follow-up after a previous consultation [1,2]. Up to 20 % of these appointments are unattended (patient did not attend), impacting valuable resources and impacting long waiting times and declining patient satisfaction [3]. The NHS in the UK spends £8 billion a year running outpatient services [2]. Changes to service delivery in order to curb this dem and to sustainable levels are a key area of interest [4,5].

Status of the midwifery workforce and childbirth services and the impact of midwife staffing on birth outcomes in China: a multicentre cross-sectional study
Conclusion
The rates of childbirth interventions including the overall caesarean section in China and the episiotomy rate, especially in the central region, remain relatively high.
