REVIEW
Aaron Vage, Andrew D Spence, Gerard J Gormley, Gary McKeown, Paul Murphy, Paul K Hamilton
The effects of 'stress' within the healthcare professions are wide-reaching, not least of all within the field of simulation-based healthcare education. Whilst this popular method of experiential learning offers a 'safe space' for participants to develop their skillset, it also has a more surreptitious action; namely, the incubation of simulation-related stress. Currently, research concerning the complex relationship between stress, learning, and performance is ambiguous, leaving fertile ground for simulationists to debate what level of stress is appropriate for an optimised educational experience...

BACKGROUND: Sternal wound infection (SWI) has always been a significant risk in patients who undergo sternotomies as part of their cardiac surgical procedures. Computed tomography (CT) imaging is often used to diagnose and assess sternal wound infections. Its purpose includes identifying and locating infection and any sternal dehiscence. METHODS: A systematic literature review across PubMed, Embase, and Ovid was performed according to PRISMA guidelines to identify relevant articles that discussed the utility of CT scanning for SWI, common features identified, patient outcomes and sensitivity/specificity (Figure 1)...

REVIEW

INTRODUCTION: Worldwide colonic cancer is the third most common cancer with up to 30% of cases presenting with large bowel obstruction. Self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) have been used as a bridge to surgery (BTS) in the treatment of this malignant obstruction. We review the outcomes of SEMS as a BTS across two high volume colorectal units. METHODOLOGY: A retrospective analysis of patients undergoing colonic stenting as a bridge to surgery was performed; outcomes were compared to previously published figures on emergency colonic resections...

BACKGROUND: Consequences from the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in the secondary impact of cessation of elective surgical services, amplifying the waiting list problem with devastating patient and surgical training repercussions. With the introduction of the first regional inter-trust daycase elective care centre pilot in Northern Ireland, we aim to assess the impact of this pathway on elective inguinal hernia waiting lists, patient outcomes, and influence on surgical training. METHODS: Data was collected prospectively over a 10-week pilot of consecutive elective day case hernia lists at a newly established regional day surgery centre...

INTRODUCTION: ENTUK guidelines recommend that manipulation of nasal bones (MNB) should be performed within 14 days of injury. However, evidence suggests treatment under general anaesthetic remains effective up to 5 weeks after injury. With the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic leading to delays in referral and limited access to theatre, local practice changed to offer delayed MNB under local anaesthetic. This prospective study assesses the effectiveness of MNB delayed until 3 weeks or later from time of injury when performed mostly under local anaesthetic...

BACKGROUND: There is a decline in the interest in pursuing a career in nephrology globally as well as locally in Northern Ireland. There is also an expansion in the burden of kidney disease worldwide due to a combination of factors like higher detection rates, increase in population size and improved life expectancy. Workforce shortages in nephrology have a direct impact on provision of care for people with kidney disease. Understanding perceptions among doctors towards nephrology is an important factor in acknowledging the barriers in recruitment and advocating evidence based changes to improve current practices...

PRECIS: COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the waiting times for cervical screening and colposcopy but no impact on the severity of disease outcomes. ABSTRACT: Objectives/Purposes of the study:: To assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the cervical screening programme and colposcopy services in Northern Ireland. Methods: All new patients referred to colposcopy following an abnormal cervical smear result from September to November 2019 and 2020 were included...

INTRODUCTION: The Achieve, Develop, Explore Programme for Trainees (ADEPT) Clinical Leadership Fellowship Programme was established in response to growing recommendations to underpin healthcare reconfiguration in Northern Ireland with a collective leadership strategy. The fellowship combines a leadership development programme with a project carried out within a host organisation. With the fellowship now in its sixth year, a need was identified to assess its impact on the fellows' leadership skills, career choices, achievements, and views on both the fellowship and how to develop future leaders...
