    Abstract Objective: To analyse the current provision of lower extremity amputations (LEA) in Irish public hospitals by patient characteristics and assess the potential savings for reducing numbers if a national multi-disciplinary foot protection clinic (MDFPC) was established nation-wide.
    Design and data sources: Patient characteristics of LEA conducted during 2016-2019 were analysed based on discharge data from the national hospital inpatient enquiry system. Reported consequences from existing literature were used to extrapolate national consequences.
    Results: Public hospitals registered 3104 hospital admissions with LEA during 2016-2019. 68% (n = 2099) of these were minor amputations. About 76% (n = 1592) of minor amputations and 52% (n = 525) of major amputations were performed on patients with a diagnosis of diabetes. If the implementation of a national MDFPC programmed could reduce the number of diabetic amputations by 20%, 80 minor and 26 major amputations could be avoided annually. This would avoid nearly 3000 hospital bed days and correspond to a potential annual saving of €3 M.
    Conclusion: LEA has severe impact on patients' lives and hospital resources. Potential savings from effective prevention strategies may offer both health improvements and cost-savings.

    Abstract Defensive medicine describes behaviours engaged in by physicians, for the purposes of averting the threat of medical negligence litigation and/or complaints. Defensive practice typically encompasses 'assurance' or 'avoidance' behaviours, or 'positive' or 'negative' defensive medicine. Assurance behaviours include, for example, meticulous notetaking and ordering further clinically unnecessary tests, whereas avoidance behaviours encompass actions such as refusing to engage with a patient perceived to be high-risk. Whilst such practices may be understandable, defensive medicine is problematic for a number of reasons: it may result in a lower standard of patient care, where for example, a patient is exposed to unnecessary risk(s); and it can increase healthcare costs, which in turn limits resources. Drawing on the findings of a survey of surgeons in Ireland, this study investigates the existence of defensive practices, and explores the impact of the civil and regulatory responses to patient safety incidents on surgical practice. Given the increasing emphasis on patient safety and cultivating a "no-blame" culture both nationally and internationally, the findings of this research illustrate the tension between the current medico-legal and regulatory environment and medical practice, with implications for quality and safety.

    Abstract Introduction: Ensuring that surgical training programmes in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) provide high quality training, including adequate operative experience, is of crucial importance in meeting the goals set out in the Lancet Global Surgery 2030. Electronic logbooks (eLogbooks) have been adopted to monitor both individual trainee progression and the performance of surgical training programmes.
    Methods: We performed a thematic review of the current evidence base surrounding the use of eLogbooks for the assessment of surgeons in training in sub-Saharan Africa, with a view to identifying the learning to date and areas for future research.
    Results: Whilst there are multiple papers highlighting the use of surgical eLogbooks in high-income countries, we identified only three papers which discussed their use in sub-Saharan Africa. Four common themes emerged which related to the use of surgical eLogbooks throughout sub-Saharan Africa: ease of analysis, centralised databases, discrepancies in reporting and technology limitations.
    Conclusions: Robust data to demonstrate trainee progression and the quality of surgical training programmes are of crucial importance in ensuring that surgical training programmes can rapidly scale up to deliver large numbers of well-trained surgical providers to address the unmet patient need in LMICs in the next decade. The limited data on the use of well designed, centralised electronic surgical logbooks indicate that this tool may play an important role in providing key data to underpin these training programmes.
