The evolution of leg ulcer guidelines and recommendations
CONCLUSION: A national appetite for improving leg ulcer assessment and treatment, is being informed by clinical guidelines and recommendations. The cornerstones of assessment and management remain constant, although some fundamental elements around ankle brachial pressure index ranges, historically used to aid diagnosis of leg ulcer aetiology, have been omitted in the recent recommendations.PMID:38019662 | DOI:10.12968/bjcn.2023.28.Sup12.S22 (Source: British Journal of Community Nursing)

Implementation of a simulation programme to improve action about racism in paediatric departments
The problem Equality and diversity are strongly embedded within the ethos of the National Health Service (NHS); equality and diversity are a ubiquitous, and important, part of mandatory training. Current training is often asynchronous online learning, which does not allow discussion of nuances or practicalities. Despite this training, many healthcare professionals across all ranks either face racism or witness racism. A British Medical Association (BMA) survey of more than 2000 doctors and medical students found that over 90% of black and Asian respondents, 73% of mixed ethnicity and 64% of white respondents said they beli...

P46 Review of medications/supportive care items prescribed at discharge for paediatric frame patients
Conclusion
Although many patients were prescribed appropriate medications and supportive care items at discharge, the audit demonstrated essential items are omitted and that there is great variation in supply of these items. Patients received from as little as a 5-day supply of tramadol to 4 weeks’ worth, and just under half of all patients did not have a request for their GP to continue supplying tramadol if needed. If a patient is not seen by their GP within 2 weeks of being discharged, this may lead to patients not being prescribed adequate analgesia. In addition, although many patients were prescribed diazepam at...

The development of a local clinical pathway for the management of high-grade lateral ankle ligament injuries
Purpose: High-grade lateral ankle ligament injuries cause significant functional impact with the potential for pathological sequelae and a known socio-economic burden. Clinical guidelines exist but are limited in their translation into local frameworks. The purpose of this clinical pathway was to standardise care for this specific group using current evidence and guidelines. This pathway also formed the main project for service development as part of the lead author's involvement in the Royal College of Nursing Clinical Leadership Programme for multi-professional staff at Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust.

Subsequent full publication of qualitative studies presented at United Kingdom Royal College of Nursing Research Conference 2015 and 2016: A follow ‐up study
This study aimed to generate evidence on the extent of non-dissemination in qualitative research. We followed a cohort of qualitative studies presented as conference abstracts to ascertain their subsequent publication status. We searched for subsequent full publication in MEDLINE, in the Cumulative Index to Nursing& Allied Health Literature and in Google Scholar. We matched abstracts to subsequent publications according to authors, method of data collection and phenomenon of interest. Fisher's exact test was calculated to examine associations between study characteristics and publication. Factors potentially associated wit...
