| Paul Little’s team continue their work on antibiotic stewardship with the external validation of a prognostic score to identify children at low risk of adverse outcomes, which could guide decisions to minimise antibiotics for lower respiratory tract infections. Many of us will have read Roger Neighbour’s The Inner Consultation – How to Develop an Effective and Intuitive Consulting Style, a medical classic and highly influential book that influenced how we perceive ourselves and our patients. He now asks us to extend our understanding of ‘housekeeping’ to a wider, system-level scope of practice in his powerful editorial, A duty to expose. In Life & Times, Euan Lawson discusses 10 clinically relevant BJGP articles recently presented at the Royal Society of Medicine’s primary care update; it’s a good reflection on how this research can directly feed into our day-to-day practice. |
