Introduction: International medical graduates (IMGs) account for 41% of the UK doctor's workforce but often work in isolated roles, receive minimal constructive feedback regarding their work and offered limited opportunities for career progression. We conducted a survey researching the views of IMGs or doctors from ethnic minority backgrounds on the support given to them.

Methods: A survey was carried out on physician demographics, grade and date of first NHS appointment, familiarity and support offered in NHS, induction and study leave, Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board exams and General Medical Council (GMC) referrals. It was drafted via surveymonkey.co.uk platform and circulated via relevant closed medical groups.

Results: A total of 173 IMGs and 16 British trained doctors (controls) took the survey. In the IMGs first job, there was no dedicated supervisor, mentor, induction, shadowing period and study leave for 56%, 86%, 52%, 59% and 52%, respectively. Suggestions given for improvements included teaching sessions, mentors, work orientation, supernumerary period and paid induction by 80%, 78%, 76%, 61% and 41% respectively. While 59% of participants knew of another IMG referred to the GMC, the primary reasons given were lack of knowledge of NHS, bias, communication difficulties and cultural differences.

Conclusion: This paper reflects the views of doctors regarding the support given to IMGs during their first NHS appointment and subsequent jobs in the NHS. IMGs require a focused and detailed induction, mentorship, educational and clinical supervision throughout their transition to the NHS.

简介国际医学毕业生(IMGs)占英国医生队伍的 41%,但他们往往从事孤立的工作,很少得到有关其工作的建设性反馈,而且职业发展机会有限。我们开展了一项调查,研究 IMG 或少数民族背景医生对他们所获支持的看法:调查内容包括医生的人口统计学特征、级别和首次在 NHS 任职的日期、对 NHS 提供的支持的熟悉程度、入职培训和学习假、专业和语言评估委员会考试以及医学总会(GMC)的转诊情况。问卷通过 surveymonkey.co.uk 平台起草,并通过相关封闭式医疗小组分发:共有 173 名 IMG 和 16 名英国受训医生(对照组)参加了调查。在 IMG 的第一份工作中,没有专职主管、导师、入职培训、实习期和学习假的分别占 56%、86%、52%、59% 和 52%。80%、78%、76%、61%和41%的参与者提出的改进建议包括教学课程、导师、工作指导、编外期和带薪入职培训。59%的参与者知道有另一名 IMG 被转介到 GMC,他们给出的主要原因是缺乏对 NHS 的了解、偏见、沟通困难和文化差异:本文反映了医生们对 IMG 首次在 NHS 任职及随后在 NHS 工作期间所提供支持的看法。IMG在过渡到国家医疗服务系统的整个过程中,需要有针对性的、详细的入职培训、指导、教育和临床监督。

Background: We explore an innovative approach by transforming patient information leaflet (PILs) into Quick Response (QR) code linked patient information videos (PIVs) in ophthalmology. Our objectives are to assess the subjective utility of a PIV on glaucoma and analyse the use of QR codes as a delivery method.

Methods: A prospective study was conducted in Ninewells Hospital, NHS Tayside. A glaucoma PIV was created and linked to a QR code provided to 130 glaucoma patients. Pre- and post-video questionnaires evaluated the patients' perception of using a QR code and subjective improvement in their understanding of glaucoma.

Results: Out of 102 responses collected, 55% of patients had no prior experience with QR codes. However, 81% of patients were able to watch the PIV. The average view duration of the video was 3:26, with 82.5% view retention. Statistically significant improvement in glaucoma knowledge was observed across all six areas questioned (p < 0.001) using a 5-point Likert scale. Overall, 70% of patients preferred PIVs over PILs, and 77% acknowledged that PIVs could be a sustainable alternative.

Conclusion: QR codes for delivering PIVs were well-received, with patients finding them easy to use. Our PIV on glaucoma effectively enhanced patients' understanding of the condition.

背景:我们探索了一种创新方法,将眼科患者信息宣传单(PIL)转化为与快速反应(QR)代码链接的患者信息视频(PIV)。我们的目标是评估 PIV 在青光眼方面的主观效用,并分析使用 QR 码作为传递方法的情况:方法:在泰赛德国家医疗服务系统的尼尼韦尔斯医院开展了一项前瞻性研究。制作了青光眼 PIV,并与提供给 130 名青光眼患者的 QR 码相链接。视频播放前和播放后的问卷调查评估了患者对使用 QR 码的感知以及对青光眼理解的主观改进:在收集到的 102 份答复中,55% 的患者以前没有使用过二维码。然而,81% 的患者能够观看 PIV。视频的平均观看时长为 3:26,观看保留率为 82.5%。据统计,患者在所有六个方面的青光眼知识都有了明显的提高(p 结论:青光眼知识的提高是一个长期的过程:用于提供 PIV 的 QR 码广受欢迎,患者认为它们易于使用。我们关于青光眼的 PIV 有效地提高了患者对青光眼的认识。

Background: Poor mental health in medical students is a global concern. Effective interventions are required, which are tailored towards the training-related stressors medical students experience. The Reboot coaching programme is an online, tailored intervention based on cognitive-behavioural principles.

Aims: To evaluate whether the Reboot coaching programme tailored for medical students was feasible and associated with improvements in mental health outcome indicators.

Methods: Medical students participated in two group online workshops and a one-to-one coaching call with a Reboot-trained licensed psychological therapist. Participants provided data at: baseline (T1), post-workshops (T2), post-coaching call (T3) and 4-month follow-up (T4). Outcome measures included resilience, confidence, burnout and depression. Feedback was provided regarding the workshops at T2.

Results: 115 participants (93/80.9% women; mage = 23.9; SD = 2.8) were recruited, 83 (72.2%) completed all intervention elements and 82 (71.3%) provided T4 data, surpassing recruitment and retention targets. There were significant improvements following baseline in resilience (ps < .001), confidence (ps < .001), burnout (ps < .001) and depression (ps ≤ .001). Most participants agreed the workshops imparted useful skills (n = 92; 99%) and would recommend Reboot to others (n = 89; 95.6%).

Conclusions: Existing interventions have produced mixed results regarding their effectiveness in improving medical students' mental health. Reboot is a feasible intervention in this group which is associated with improvements in resilience, confidence, burnout and depression. Further controlled studies of Reboot are now needed.

背景:医学生心理健康状况不佳是一个全球关注的问题。需要针对医学生所经历的与训练有关的压力源进行有效的干预。Reboot辅导计划是一种基于认知行为原则的在线定制干预。目的:评价为医学生量身定制的Reboot指导方案是否可行,并与心理健康结局指标的改善有关。方法:医学生参加了两个小组在线研讨会和一个一对一的电话辅导与重启培训的执业心理治疗师。参与者在基线(T1)、工作坊后(T2)、辅导后电话(T3)和4个月随访(T4)时提供数据。结果测量包括恢复力、信心、倦怠和抑郁。就二号大楼的工作坊提供意见。结果:115名参与者(93/80.9%为女性;法师= 23.9;SD = 2.8)例,83例(72.2%)完成了所有干预要素,82例(71.3%)提供了T4数据,超过了招募和保留目标。恢复力与基线相比有显著改善(ps ps ps ps≤0.001)。大多数参与者认为讲习班传授了有用的技能(n = 92;99%),并会向其他人推荐Reboot (n = 89;95.6%)。结论:现有的干预措施在改善医学生心理健康方面的效果好坏参半。在这个群体中,重新启动是一种可行的干预措施,它与恢复力、信心、倦怠和抑郁的改善有关。现在需要对Reboot进行进一步的对照研究。

Background: Cardiovascular disease affects over 7 million people in the UK and statins are often prescribed to mitigate cardiovascular risks. The effect of statins on a number of cancers is debated and their effect on Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) responsiveness in non-muscle invasive urinary bladder cancer (NMIBC) is not fully understood.

Aims: This study aims to explore the difference in HMG Co-A reductase (HMGCR) expression in NMIBC on immunochemistry in BCG responders and non-responders while on statins.

Method: Three hundred and thirty-two cases of intravesical BCG treatment for high-risk NMIBC between November 2003 and December 2017 were identified. Patients taking statins for at least 12 months before the diagnosis of NIMBC and with a follow-up of at least 5 years were included. They were divided into BCG responders and non-responders. Tumour tissue from these patients was immunohistochemically stained and quantitative image analysis carried out to assess and compare HMGCR expression in the groups.

Results & conclusion: This study showed a differential expression of HMGCR in responders vs. non-responders to BCG for high-risk NMIBC on statins. This data should form the basis of a further research and multi-centre study in a larger cohort, using HMGCR as a biomarker of response in patients on statins.

背景:在英国,心血管疾病影响着超过700万人,他汀类药物经常被用于降低心血管风险。他汀类药物对许多癌症的影响存在争议,其对非肌肉浸润性膀胱癌(NMIBC)中卡介苗(BCG)反应性的影响尚不完全清楚。目的:本研究旨在探讨卡介苗应答者和他汀类药物无应答者NMIBC免疫化学中HMG Co-A还原酶(HMGCR)表达的差异。方法:对2003年11月至2017年12月间采用卡介苗膀胱内治疗高危NMIBC病例332例进行分析。患者在确诊NIMBC前服用他汀类药物至少12个月,随访至少5年。他们被分为卡介苗应答者和无应答者。对这些患者的肿瘤组织进行免疫组织化学染色,并进行定量图像分析,以评估和比较各组HMGCR的表达。结果与结论:本研究显示,在接受他汀类药物治疗的高危NMIBC患者中,HMGCR在卡介苗应答者和无应答者中存在差异表达。这些数据应该成为进一步研究和更大队列多中心研究的基础,使用HMGCR作为他汀类药物患者反应的生物标志物。

Introduction: The updated Bosniak classification in 2019 (v2019) addresses vague imaging terms and revises the criteria with the intent to categorise a higher proportion of cysts in lower-risk groups and reduce benign cyst resections. The aim of the present study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy and inter-observer agreement rate of the original (v2005) and updated classifications (v2019).

Method: Resected/biopsied cysts were categorised according to Bosniak classifications (v2005 and v2019) and the diagnostic accuracy was assessed with reference to histopathological analysis. The inter-observer agreement of v2005 and v2019 was determined.

Results: The malignancy rate of the cohort was 83.6% (51/61). Using v2019, a higher proportion of malignant cysts were categorised as Bosniak ≥ III (88.2% vs 84.3%) and a significantly higher percentage were categorised as Bosniak IV (68.9% vs 47.1%; p = 0.049) in comparison to v2005. v2019 would have resulted in less benign cyst resections (13.5% vs 15.7%). Calcified versus non-calcified cysts had lower rates of malignancy (57.1% vs 91.5%; RR,0.62; p = 0.002). The inter-observer agreement of v2005 was higher than that of v2019 (kappa, 0.70 vs kappa, 0.43).

Discussion: The updated classification improves the categorisation of malignant cysts and reduces benign cyst resection. The low inter-observer agreement remains a challenge to the updated classification system.

导言:2019 年更新的 Bosniak 分类(v2019)解决了成像术语模糊的问题,并修订了标准,旨在将更高比例的囊肿归入低风险组,减少良性囊肿切除。本研究旨在比较原始分类标准(v2005)和更新后的分类标准(v2019)的诊断准确性和观察者之间的一致率:根据波什尼亚克分类法(v2005 和 v2019)对切除/活检的囊肿进行分类,并参照组织病理学分析评估诊断准确性。结果表明,v2005 和 v2019 的观察者间一致性良好:结果:队列中的恶性肿瘤率为83.6%(51/61)。使用 v2019,与 v2005 相比,恶性囊肿被归类为 Bosniak ≥ III 的比例更高(88.2% vs 84.3%),被归类为 Bosniak IV 的比例明显更高(68.9% vs 47.1%;p = 0.049)。钙化与非钙化囊肿的恶性率较低(57.1% vs 91.5%;RR,0.62;p = 0.002)。v2005的观察者间一致性高于v2019(kappa, 0.70 vs kappa, 0.43):讨论:更新后的分类改进了恶性囊肿的分类,减少了良性囊肿的切除。观察者之间的一致性较低仍是更新版分类系统面临的挑战。
