Anxiety in Belgian primary care

Registrations of anxiety in primary care in Belgium are heavily on the rise according to new research. Patients with anxiety have increasing multimorbidity, and anxiety still seems to be heavily dependent on medication. These findings may encourage primary care physicians to take a more multidisciplinary approach to the care of their patients with anxiety. This in turn might help medication overuse, and direct care to other useful non-pharmacological treatment options.

Ethnicity and the MRCGP assessment

This observational study of UK doctors in GP specialty training found that ethnicity did not reduce the chance of passing GP licensing tests after taking into account sex, place of primary medical qualification, declared disability, and Multispecialty Recruitment Assessment scores. This is important evidence given previous concerns that subjective bias due to racial discrimination is a cause of examination failure for UK trained ethnic minority candidates and international medical graduates.

 

Heavy menstrual bleeding

Women with heavy menstrual bleeding still face many challenges and taboos when seeking help. New research shows the debilitating impact of heavy menstrual bleeding on women, and the types of challenges they face. Women had widely differing experiences of current medical treatments in general practice, and emphasised how they valued patient-centred communication and involvement in decisions. Greater awareness about treatment and reducing taboo about heavy menstrual bleeding is needed. Being listened to and taken seriously can help.
