    Abstract Microbiologists are frequently consulted for guidance on the investigation and management of infection, including antimicrobial prescribing in hospital settings. There is a rising demand for timely microbiology advice in the context of increasing global travel and antibiotic resistance, which give rise to complex cases. However, junior doctors are seldom trained in making effective referrals. Improving confidence in this key skill saves time for both the referring clinician and the specialist, and results in more accurate advice being given. This benefits patients who are more likely to receive appropriate treatment. This article presents guidance, developed in consultation with specialists, to improve the quality of referrals to microbiologists. This includes the information required for a high-quality referral, and signposts referring clinicians to existing resources which are suitable for simpler cases not requiring specialist input.

    Abstract Background: Quality improvement (QI) is an essential component of modern clinical practice. Front-line professionals offer valuable perspectives on areas for improvement and are motivated to deliver change. In the UK, all junior doctors are expected to participate in QI in order to advance to the next stage of their training. However, UK undergraduates receive no standardized training in QI methods. This is perpetuated within medical schools by a lack of teaching capacity and competing priorities, and may lead to tokenistic engagement with future QI projects.
    Methods: We describe a near-peer teaching programme designed to introduce students to QI methods. This pilot study was conceived and delivered in full by junior doctors and used existing resources to ensure high quality teaching content. 111 fifth-year medical students from the University of Cambridge were taught in interactive, participative workshops that encourage them to develop their own QI change ideas and projects. Core topics included the model for improvement, driver diagrams, stakeholder engagement, measurement for improvement and analysing and presenting data. Students completed surveys before and immediately after this intervention to assess their understanding of and confidence in utilizing QI methods. Questionnaires were also completed by junior doctor tutors.
    Results: Analysis of questionnaires completed before and immediately after the intervention revealed statistically significant improvements in students' self-reported understanding of QI (p < 0.05) and confidence in applying techniques to their own work (p < 0.05). Students expressed a preference for QI teaching delivered by junior doctors, citing a relaxed learning environment and greater relevance to their stage of training. Tutors reported increased confidence in using QI techniques and a greater willingness to engage with QI in future.
    Conclusions: In this single-centre study, near-peer teaching produced significant improvements in students' self-reported understanding of QI and confidence in applying QI methods. Near-peer teaching may constitute a sustainable means of teaching essential QI skills at undergraduate level. Future work must evaluate objective measures of student engagement with and competence in conducting QI.

  8. Article: Leisure time physical activity throughout adulthood is associated with lower medicare costs: evidence from the linked NIH-AARP diet and health study cohort.

    Abstract Background: There is limited information about the association between long-term leisure time physical activity (LTPA) participation and healthcare costs. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between LTPA over adulthood with later life healthcare costs in the USA.
    Methods: Using Medicare claims data (between 1999 and 2008) linked to the National Institutes of Health-American Association of Retired Persons (NIH-AARP) Diet and Health Study, we examined associations between nine trajectories of physical activity participation throughout adulthood with Medicare costs.
    Results: Compared with adults who were consistently inactive from adolescence into middle age, average annual healthcare costs were significantly lower for maintainers, adults who maintained moderate (-US$1350 (95% CI: -US$2009 to -US$690) or -15.9% (95% CI: -23.6% to -8.1%)) or high physical activity levels (-US$1200 (95% CI: -US$1777 to -US$622) or -14.1% (95% CI: -20.9% to -7.3%)) and increasers, adults who increased physical activity levels in early adulthood (-US$1874 (95% CI: US$2691 to -US$1057) or -22.0% (95% CI: -31.6% to -12.4%)) or in middle age (-US$824 (95% CI: -US$1580 to -US$69 or -9.7% (95% CI -18.6% to -0.8%)). For the four trajectories where physical activity decreased, the only significant difference was for adults who increased physical activity levels during early adulthood with a decline in middle age (-US$861 (95% CI:-US$1678 to -US$45) or -10.1% (95% CI: -19.7% to -0.5%)).
    Conclusion: Our analyses suggest the healthcare cost burden in later life could be reduced through promotion efforts supporting physical activity participation throughout adulthood.
