Since 2010, the Chinese government has gradually increased its investment in the training of general practitioners (GPs) to support their role as 'gatekeepers' in the healthcare system. However, this training is still organised from the perspective of specialist care. We aimed to assess the appropriateness of the principal GP admission training programme curricula in China, including Residents Training for GPs (RTGP), Residents Training for Assistant GPs (RTAGP) and Training for Specialists with General Practice interest (TSGP). The study focussed on GP training programmes in Shanghai, China. Data on disease competences developed in three GP clinical training programmes (RTGP, RTAGP and TSGP) were derived from official programme training manuals. Data on the proportion of outpatient visits for each disease were taken from the Shanghai community healthcare centres grassroots outpatient database. We first conducted a quantitative analysis by comparing the structure of current training curricula with actogrammes for GPs in China lacks a focus on general practice training and may be improved by adopting an evidence-based general perspective aligned with the medical needs of the community. Cultural safety is an Indigenous concept that can improve how healthcare services are delivered to both Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada. This study explored how Indigenous and non-Indigenous clients at an urban, Indigenous-focused midwifery practice in Toronto, Canada (Seventh Generation Midwives Toronto, SGMT) conceptualised and experienced culturally safe care. Interviews were conducted with former clients of SGMT as a part of a larger evaluation of the practice. Participants were purposefully recruited. Interviews were transcribed and analysed thematically using an iterative, consensus-based approach and a critical, naturalistic, and decolonising lens. Saturation was reached after 20 interviews (n=9 Indigenous participants, n=11 non-Indigenous participants). Three domains of cultural safety emerged. Each domain included several themes Relationships and Communication (respect and support for choices; personalised and continuous relationships with midwives; and being different from pae impacts documented here motivate evaluators and healthcare providers to work towards a future where 'cultural safety' becomes a standard of care. The Indigenous participants conceptualised cultural safety in ways that highlight the survival and resurgence of Indigenous values, understandings, and approaches in cities like Toronto, and affirm the need for Indigenous midwives. The non-Indigenous participants conceptualised cultural safety with both congruence, illuminating Black-Indigenous community solidarities in cultural safety, and divergence, demonstrating the potential of Indigenous spaces and Indigenous-focused midwifery care to also benefit midwifery clients of white European descent. We hope that the positive impacts documented here motivate evaluators and healthcare providers to work towards a future where 'cultural safety' becomes a standard of care. To describe user experience of obtaining and uploading biometric measurements to a 'digital-only' contraceptive service prior to a prescription for the combined oral contraceptive (COC). To analyse this experience to inform the design of safe and acceptable 'digital-only' online contraceptive services. An online contraceptive service available free of charge to women in South East London, UK. Twenty participants who had ordered the combined oral contraceptive (COC) online. Our purposive sampling strategy ensured that we included participants from a wide range of ages and those who were and were not prescribed the COC. A 'digital-only' contraceptive service that prescribes the COCafter an online medical history and self-reported height, weight and blood pressure (BP) with pills prescribed by a GMC registered doctor, dispensed by an online pharmacy and posted to the user. Semistructured interviews with a purposive sample of 20 participants who were already enrolled in a larger study of this service. face-to-face contact are needed in 'digital-only' health services. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/OSI027.html This includes acknowledgement of work required, evidence of credible human support and a digital interface that communicates the health benefits of collaborating with an engaged clinical team. Increasing use of cleaner fuels, such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and abandonment of solid fuels is key to reducing household air pollution and realising potential health improvements in low-income countries. However, achieving exclusive LPG use in households unaccustomed to this type of fuel, used in combination with a new stove technology, requires substantial behaviour change. We conducted theory-grounded formative research to identify contextual factors influencing cooking fuel choice to guide the development of behavioural strategies for the Household Air Pollution Intervention Network (HAPIN) trial. The HAPIN trial will assess the impact of exclusive LPG use on air pollution exposure and health of pregnant women, older adult women, and infants under 1 year of age in Guatemala, India, Peru, and Rwanda. Using the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation-Behaviour (COM-B) framework and Behaviour Change Wheel (BCW) to guide formative research, we conducted in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, l strategies can inform the development, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of theory-informed strategies to promote exclusive LPG use in future stove programmes and research studies.

The physiological stress of surgery in high-risk individuals has been proposed both as an important cause of accelerated age-related decline in health and as a model testing the effectiveness of strategies to improve resiliency to age-related health decline. We describe a randomised, embedded, multifactorial, adaptative platform (REMAP) trial to investigate multiple perioperative interventions, the first of which is metformin and selected for its anti-inflammatory and anti-ageing properties beyond its traditional blood glucose control features. Within a multihospital, single healthcare system, the Core Protocol for Strategies to Promote ResiliencY (SPRY) will be embedded within both the electronic health record (EHR) and the healthcare culture generating a continuously self-learning healthcare system. Embedding reduces the administrative burden of a traditional trial while accessing and rapidly analysing routine patient care EHR data.
