This report highlights social determinants of inequalities in cardiovascular outcomes . #DeepEnd populations experience- ‘poorer provision of preventative healthcare services- GP practices in deprived areas, for example, have fewer GPs, despite having larger caseloads’
Available to students of medicine and allied disciplines @bristoluni.bsky.social
Wonderful @capcbristol.bsky.social team doing what they do best -working to make the world a better place🌳

Patients mostly accept online test result access but want to know ‘what happens next’.
Reliance on the NHS App for test communication is insufficient. Patient-centred communication methods are important for patient safety & clarity in delivering test results, & GP workload doi.org/10.3399/BJGP...

Such important work providing more evidence regarding the future for #generalpractice on the day a new #contract is agreed @capcbristol.bsky.social

Masthead of research article showing title and authors: What do complementary and alternative medicines mean to UK dairy farmers and how do they use them? Kayleigh M. Crouch, Helen Cramer, Gwen M. Rees, Debbie Sharp, David C. Barrett, Christie Cabral. Published in Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 26 February 2025.
The study by Kayleigh Crouch & colleagues explored the use of CAM products & practices on 20 farms (15 organic; 9 conventional), to understand what underpins CAM use in dairy herd health management & how that might influence antibiotic use.

#AMR
Greater openness about complementary & alternative medicines (CAM) use in UK dairy farming could strengthen farmer-vet relationships, which may prevent potential unintended harm to animals, reduce antibiotic use & improve herd health management, new study finds.

Great to have @grahamstretch.pharmsky.app writing for The Pharmacist about why GP/PCN pharmacists should consider hosting a trainee, what foundation trainee pharmacists can do, and how to get employers & local partners on board.
