The recent systematic review and meta-analysis by Zimmermann and colleagues presents crucial insights into the ongoing gender disparity in physician suicide rates.1 While the overall reduction in suicide among physicians is commendable, the persistently elevated risk in female physicians is a concern that warrants attention.

Adriel Chen and Devi Sridhar discuss the outbreak of Paediatric Inflammatory Multisystem Syndrome in 2020 and consider what lessons we can learn In mid-March 2020 and into April 2020, paediatric wards in England—usually full with children needing medical care due to respiratory diseases and other illnesses—were empty. The UK, and other countries in the world, were in a covid-19 lockdown. Schools were closing and children were staying at home and not mingling. The usual infectious disease mix that would result in children needing hospital care had a break. Paediatricians expected a quiet few months while NHS resources were directed towards the mounting wave of covid-19 hospital admissions, which were expected to be largely in the older and middle-aged population. And then incredibly unwell children started showing up in hospital.1 First one, then another one, and then several more. The children all had symptoms similar to the rare Kawasaki disease, an autoimmune disease, which can cause cardiac arrest and result in children being admitted to intensive care (ICU). Within the span of 10 days in April 2020, eight children were admitted to hospital in England, and one died.1 This sounded alarms. The children were previously fit and well, with no underlying illnesses. Paediatricians started discussing this and asked the worrying question: could this be a delayed presentation of covid-19? Most children were testing negative for SARS-COV-2 at the time of admission, but positive for the covid antibodies that noted previous infection. The children were older than those usually affected by Kawasaki disease, and most of them had caught covid five to six weeks prior.1 This alarmed physicians. Wasn’t covid-19 a disease that affected …

An approach linking health and skills could boost employability In the UK, 2.8 million people are economically inactive and in receipt of health related welfare benefits.1 Almost a million young people aged 18-24 years are not in education, employment, or training, and one in five of those receives health related benefits, largely for mental health conditions.2 Following a decade of austerity, and exacerbated by the covid-19 pandemic, ill health and health inequalities have worsened in the UK such that it is the “sick (wo)man of Europe.”3 The UK has far higher rates of health related worklessness than most other comparable economies (including Germany, Sweden, and France).4 It faces a serious economic challenge because of stagnating growth and widening inequalities in productivity, which contribute to rising rates of poverty and further inequalities in health.5 Health related worklessness became a problem for the UK in the 1980s when rapid deindustrialisation led to mass unemployment, particularly in the north of England, Scotland, and Wales.1 Between the late 1970s and …
