Updates
A study at the University of Virginia has suggested that sleep deprivation does not affect operative results in cardiac surgery. The authors add: "These data do not support a need for work hour restrictions on surgeons."
The death of a patient in Belfast has been linked with the administration of four wrong drugs. At the inquest, a professor from the Pharmacology Department of the hospital suggested that EWTD impacted badly on continuity of care and the ability to review medical notes every day.
Chorley Hospital have declared that they have no plans to close A&E, after rumours that it would transfer services to the Royal Preston Hospital. Apparently, "The department had 509 applications for three junior doctors' posts needed" for compliance with EWTD.
The NHS Magazine has an article on Modernising Medical Careers.
BMJ Careers Focus has an article on how to be a healthy doctor without trying too hard.
HR Gateway reports that most staff work late to keep their workload under control.
Finally, E-Health Insider reports on the imminent development of a common European electronic health record. "It’s a laudable goal," muses the Insider, "and one which really would be an achievement for a continent that doesn’t even have a common electric plug. "
