Education dominates local government conference on final afternoon
A busy afternoon’s debates on education opened included a commitment that UNISON would oppose government policies on academies.
But Pam Howard for the executive also stated that there had to be a two-strand approach, where the union also organised within academies when and where they exist.
She added that this also “gives us recruitment and organising opportunities – opportunities that we need to take,” and that this would include working alongside other school unions where possible.
Lee Spate from Portsmouth stressed that an organised and strong response after the announcement earlier this year that all schoo...

The Ponseti method of treatment for clubfoot in Brazil: barriers to bracing compliance.
CONCLUSIONS: Many of the causes of noncompliance with bracing protocol stem from systemic inequities and challenges, rather than a lack of collaboration from the families themselves. Furthermore, insufficient prescription of the brace by physicians may represent a major barrier to bracing compliance in southeastern Brazil. This research indicates a need to evaluate physician training and continuing medical education in order to ensure that physicians are adequately utilizing the brace.

Advice to Rest for More Than 2 Days After Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Is Associated With Delayed Return to Productivity: A Case-Control Study
Conclusions: mTBI patients continue to be told to rest for longer than expert recommendations and practice guidelines. This study supports growing evidence that prolonged rest after mTBI is generally unhelpful, as patients in the exposure group were less likely to have resumed work/school at 1–2 months post-injury. We could not identify patient characteristics associated with getting prolonged rest advice. Further exploration of who gets told to rest and who delivers the advice could inform strategic de-implementation of this clinical practice.
Introduction
In the early twenty-first century, complete rest unt...

Casting a wider net
Genomics is part of precision medicine, the science of crafting treatments to fit a patient’s particular genes, environment and lifestyle. Unlike traditional one-size-fits-all treatments, precision medicine tools enable clinicians to better understand a patient’s health and conditions, and better determine what treatments will be most effective for that particular per...

How U.S. Medical Schools Are Training a Post-Pandemic Generation of Doctors
In February 2019, the Kaiser Permanente health system announced a new kind of medical school. The school would be built “from the ground up” to prepare students for the complexities of the U.S. medical system. The curriculum would emphasize cultural competency, patient and provider well-being, and the elimination of socioeconomic disparities in the medical system. Students would see patients right away, and hands-on learning would replace many lectures. What’s more, the first five graduating classes would pay nothing to attend; Kaiser hoped this would attract a student body more diverse than the typical U...
