Both grief-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy improved patients ’ symptoms of prolonged grief disorder immediately after 11 weeks of treatment, according to astudy published yesterday inJAMA Psychiatry.

Restoring Children From Out ‐of‐Home Care: Insights From an Aboriginal‐Led Community Forum
ABSTRACTRestoring children from out-of-home care (OOHC) to their families is the preferred outcome for all children removed by child protection services, yet little is known about how restoration processes are experienced by families and services supporting them. This paper provides important insights about Aboriginal child restoration from 40 practitioners and stakeholders at a community forum led by Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations in regional New South Wales (NSW), Australia. This is one component of larger Aboriginal-led research, which investigates child protection experiences and pathways to successful r...

Identifying areas of Australia with high out-of-hospital cardiac arrest incidence and low bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation rates: A retrospective, observational study
ConclusionsWe have identified high-risk LGAs, characterised by high incidence and low bystander CPR rates, which are predominantly in regional and remote areas of Australia. Strategies for reducing OHCA and improving bystander response may be best targeted at these regions. (Source: PLoS One)

Implementation of a simulation free palliative Radiation Therapy pathway: An inter-professional collaborative project
The Western New South Wales Local Health District (WNSWLHD) has a significant footprint within the state of New South Wales (NSW). Due to the significant size of the WNSWLHD, patients residing in the local health district face many barriers to receiving Radiation Therapy. The inter-professional collaboration behind the successful implementation and evaluation of a simulation free pathway for palliative Radiation Therapy in WNSWLHD will be explored within this narrative. The process known in WNSWLHD as Medical Imaging Simulated Radiation Therapy (MISRT) removes the need for a computed tomography (CT) simulation and allows f...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlthough many young people demonstrate resilience and strength, research and clinical evidence highlight an upward trend in mental health concerns among those aged 12 to 25 years. Youth-specific digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) aim to address this trend by providing timely access to mental health support for young people (12-25 years). However, there is a considerable gap in understanding young people user experiences with digital interventions. This review, co-designed with Australia's leading mental health o...

Characteristics of children requiring admission to neonatal care and paediatric intensive care before the age of 2 years in England and Wales: a data linkage study
Conclusions
Healthcare professionals caring for babies and children in NNU and PICU see some of the same children in the first 2 years of life. While some children are following established care pathways (eg, staged cardiac surgery), the small proportion of children needing NNU care subsequently requiring PICU care account for a large proportion of the total PICU population. These differences may affect perceptions of risk for this group of children between NNU and PICU teams. (Source: Archives of Disease in Childhood)

Wales Infants and childreNs Genome Service (WINGS): providing rapid genetic diagnoses for unwell children
Conclusion
This study demonstrates that trio rWGS is having a positive impact on the care of acutely unwell infants and children in an NHS setting. In particular, the study shows that rWGS can be applied in an NHS setting, achieving a diagnostic yield comparable with the previously published diagnostic yields achieved in research settings, while also helping to improve patient care and management.
