'Outreach Outings' is a ward-based teaching initiative, created by the Critical Care Outreach Team at University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust. The aim is to increase the recognition and response to the deteriorating patient and bring deterioration teaching to all ward staff in 10-minute, bite-sized sessions. It is unique in that it operates 24/7 and is entirely multiprofessional and inclusive for all staff groups. Compassionate leadership involves a focus on relationships through careful listening, understanding, empathising and supporting. It enables those who are led to feel valued, respected and cared for, so they can reach their potential and enhance their work. This article explores the Outreach Outings project as an example of compassionate leadership, embodying autonomy, belonging and contribution: promoting education and knowledge to improve the recognition and response to the deteriorating patient.

Wound care in the UK has long been challenging, clinically complex and economically burdensome. Wounds affect millions of patients annually, costing the NHS billions of pounds. Despite the scale of this problem, wound care services have historically been subject to fragmentation, variable clinical practice, delayed interventions, a lack of coordinated policy focus and poor data collection. Between 2015 and 2025, this situation has persisted in the face of increasing pressure on NHS resources, rising patient demand and growing evidence of suboptimal outcomes, particularly for chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers and venous leg ulcers. This article critically analyses the literature relating to clinical and financial outcomes of wound care in the UK from 2015 to 2025 published by Professor Julian Guest. Critically analysing Guest's publications on wound care is important for several reasons, especially in relation to clinical and policy-making contexts in the latest NHS plans; it is essential to understand what strategies have worked, what gaps remain and how future services should be designed. There is a pressing need to synthesise the decade of research and policy developments in wound care. This article serves to critically appraise the progress and effectiveness of recent efforts.

Adult female acne is increasingly recognised as a chronic inflammatory skin disorder affecting women well beyond adolescence. Hormonal fluctuation, inflammatory signalling, skin barrier impairment, and microbiome shifts contribute to its development and persistence. Perimenopause and menopause introduce further complexity due to declining oestrogen levels and relative androgen excess. This article provides an evidence-based overview of adult and menopausal acne, integrating epidemiology, underlying mechanisms, clinical presentation, assessment, management, and the crucial role nurses play in patient education, continuity of care, and multidisciplinary referral.
