    Abstract Advances in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) management have significantly improved clinical outcomes of this disease; however, some Indigenous North Americans (INA) with RA have not achieved the high rates of treatment success observed in other populations. We review factors contributing to poor long-term outcomes for INA with RA. We conducted a narrative review of studies evaluating RA in INA supplemented with regional administrative health and clinical cohort data on clinical outcomes and health care utilisation. We discuss factors related to conducting research in INA populations including studies of RA prevention. NA with RA have a high burden of genetic and environmental predisposing risk factors that may impact disease phenotype, delayed or limited access to rheumatology care and advanced therapy. These factors may contribute to the observed increased rates of persistent synovitis, premature end-stage joint damage and mortality. Novel models of care delivery that are culturally sensitive and address challenges associated with providing speciality care to patients residing in remote communities with limited accessibility are needed. Progress in establishing respectful research partnerships with INA communities has created a foundation for ongoing initiatives to address care gaps including those aimed at RA prevention. This review highlights some of the challenges of diagnosing, treating, and ultimately perhaps preventing, RA in INA populations.

    Abstract Background: This study aimed to evaluate core surgical training (CST) differential attainment related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), gender and ethnicity. The hypothesis was that COVID-19 adversely influenced CST outcomes.
    Methods: A retrospective cohort study of 271 anonymised CST records was undertaken at a UK Statutory Education Body. Primary effect measures were Annual Review of Competency Progression Outcome (ARCPO), Membership of the Royal College of Surgeons (MRCS) examination pass and Higher Surgical Training National Training Number (NTN) appointment. Data were collected prospectively at ARCP and analysed with non-parametric statistical methods in SPSS.
    Results: CSTs numbering 138 completed training pre-COVID and 133 peri-COVID. ARCPO 1, 2 and 6 were 71.9% pre-COVID versus 74.4% peri-COVID ( P =0.844). MRCS pass rates were 69.6% pre-COVID versus 71.1% peri-COVID ( P =0.968), but NTN appointment rates diminished (pre-COVID 47.4% vs. peri-COVID 36.9%, P =0.324); none of the above varied by gender or ethnicity. Multivariable analyses by three models revealed: ARCPO was associated with gender [m:f 1:0.87, odds ratio (OR) 0.53, P =0.043] and CST theme (Plastics vs. General OR 16.82, P =0.007); MRCS pass with theme (Plastics vs. General OR 8.97, P =0.004); NTN with the Improving Surgical Training run-through programme (OR 5.00, P <0.001). Programme retention improved peri-COVID (OR 0.20, P =0.014) with pan University Hospital rotations performing better than Mixed or District General-only rotations (OR 6.63, P =0.018).
    Conclusion: Differential attainment profiles varied 17-fold, yet COVID-19 did not influence ARCPO or MRCS pass rates. NTN appointment fell by one-fifth peri-COVID, but overall training outcome metrics remained robust despite the existential threat.

    Abstract Objective: There are complex and interrelated factors that lead to inequitable healthcare delivery in Canada. Many of the factors that underlie these inequities for Canada's geographically dispersed Indigenous Peoples remain underexamined.
    Methods: A cohort of 831 First Nations (FN) individuals from urban and remote communities were recruited into a longitudinal study of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) risk from 2005-2017. Data from each participant's initial enrollment visit was assessed using a survey that captured concerns with health care access.
    Results: We found that remote participants with RA reported poor access compared to remote First-Degree Relatives (FDR, p<0.001), this difference was not observed for urban RA participants. We observed substantial differences based on sex; Females perceived access to care to be more difficult than males in both urban and remote cohorts (p<0.001). We also observed that male participants with RA reported poor access to care compared to male FDR. Importantly, access to care in remote communities appeared to improve over the duration of the study (p=0.01). In a logistic regression analysis, female sex, remote location, and older age were independent predictors of poor access to care. Predictors of poor access in participants with RA were also female sex, remote location and older age.
    Conclusion: FN peoples living in remote communities, particularly those with an established RA diagnosis, report more problems accessing healthcare. Sex-based inequities exist, with FN females reporting greater difficulties in accessing appropriate healthcare, irrespective of RA diagnosis. Addressing these sex-based inequities should be a high priority for improving healthcare delivery.

    Abstract Background: A competition ratio (CR) indicates the ratio of total applications for a training post when compared with numbers of specialty posts available. This study aimed to evaluate CRs' influence on National Training Number (NTN) selection in a single UK Statutory Education Body.
    Methods: Consecutive core surgical trainees numbering 154 (105 men, 49 women; median years since graduation: four) were studied over a 6-year period. Annual specialty specific CRs were obtained from Health Education England's website, and primary outcome measure was UK NTN appointment.
    Results: Overall NTN appointment was 45.5%. Median CR was 2.36; range Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery 0.70 (2020) to Neurosurgery 22.0 (2020). Multivariable analysis revealed that NTN success was associated with: CR (OR 0.46, p=0.003), a single scientific publication (OR 6.25, p=0.001), cohort year (2019, OR 12.65, p=0.003) and Universal Annual Review of Competence Progression Outcome 1 (OR 45.24, p<0.001). CRs predicted NTN appointment with a Youden index defined critical ratio of 4.42; 28.6% (n=8) versus 49.2% (n=62), p=0.018.
    Conclusion: CRs displayed 30-fold variation, with CRs below 4.42 associated with twofold better NTN promotion, but strong clinical competence and academic reach again emerged as the principal drivers of career advancement.

    Abstract Introduction: Core Surgical Training (CST) programs are associated with high burnout. This study aimed to assess the influence of Enhanced Stress Resilience Training (ESRT) over a 2-year period in a single UK Statutory Education Body.
    Method: CSTs participated in 5-weeks of formal ESRT to address work stressors. The primary outcome measure was career progression related to curriculum metrics and National Training Number (NTN) appointment. Secondary measures related to burnout using validated psychological inventories.
    Results: Of 42 CSTs, 13 engaged fully with ESRT (31.0%; male 8, female 5, median age 28 year.), 11 engaged partially, and 18 did not. ESRT engagement was associated with better NTN appointment (ESRT 8/13 (61.5%) vs. not 1/18 (5.6%), p = 0.025), less burnout [aMBI; mean 5.14 (SD ± 2.35) vs. 3.14 (±2.25), F 6.637, p = 0.002, η
    Discussion: ESRT was associated with less stress and burnout, better mindfulness, and most importantly 13-fold better career progression.

    Abstract Objectives: To compare proportional representation of healthcare specialty workers, in receipt of New Year Honours (NYHs) and examine system bias.
    Design: Observational study of UK honours system including comparative analysis of proportional representation of the UK medical workforce.
    Participants: Recipients of NYHs from 2010 to 2019.
    Main outcome measures: Absolute risk of receiving an NYH, related to medical specialty, gender and geographical region. Relative risk (RR) of receiving an NYH for services to healthcare related to specialty.
    Results: 11 207 NYHs were bestowed, with 368 (3.3%) awarded to healthcare professionals: 212 (57.6%) women, 156 (42.4%) men. The RR of a healthcare professional receiving an NYH was 0.76 (95% CI 0.68 to 0.84, p<0.001) when compared with the remaining UK workforce. Doctors received most NYHs (n=181), with public health, clinical oncology and general medicine specialties most likely to be rewarded (RR 20.35 (95% CI 9.61 to 43.08, p<0.001), 8.43 (95% CI 2.70 to 26.30, p<0.001) and 8.22 (95% CI 6.22 to 10.86, p<0.001)), respectively; anaesthetists received fewest NYHs (RR 0.52 (95% CI 0.13 to 2.10), p=0.305). Men were more likely to receive NYHs than women (OR 0.44, 95% CI 0.36 to 0.54; p<0.001). Two hundred and fifty-four NYHs (69.0%) were bestowed on residents of England (60, 16.3% London), 49 (13.3%) Scotland (p=0.003), 39 (10.6%) Wales (p<0.001) and 26 (7.1%) Northern-Ireland (p<0.001).
    Conclusions: Relative risk of receiving an NYH varied over 150-fold by specialty, twofold by gender and threefold by geographical location. Public health physicians are perceived to be the pick of the parade.
