    Abstract This chapter has explored the role of training and education as a light-ning rod for rival models and interpretations of public health nursing. Nurses faced the constraints of conventional British social norms of class and gender in Malaya, contrasted with respect, status, and opportunities from North Americans. Hostility was displayed towards Americans within the Malayan medical services, affecting the way in which the RF-trained British nurses perceived colonial society, following their interaction with their friendlier and more egalitarian cross-Atlantic colleagues. The chapter also reveals how British, American, and international organizations' efforts and funding to improve public health nursing in rural areas coincided with periods of increased nationalism in the 1920s and communism in the late 1940s and early 1950s. In the 1920s, in particular, the RF, rather than the British, drove public health nursing in Malaya, enhancing health care in politically fragile rural areas

    Abstract Chronic lymphocytic inflammation with pontine perivascular enhancement responsive to steroids (CLIPPERS) has been described in multiple case reports since it was first described in the literature in 2010. The patient described is a 54-year-old man with no significant medical history who presented with ataxia, diplopia and hearing and taste disturbances. His GCS reduced to the point at which he required intubation and he was treated for 50 days on an intensive care unit. The patient's course also includes seizures, first described in 2014, and central pyrexia, which has not been previously described in case reports of CLIPPERS. Intravenous methylprednisolone resulted in a rapid and significant recovery; neurological rehabilitation is ongoing 10 months from diagnosis. The importance of recognition of unusual radiological findings and rapid treatment cannot be overemphasised in improving patient's long-term outcomes.

    Abstract Background: COVID-19 shocked global healthcare systems, particularly the surgical services, resulting in a significant backlog of patients with waiting times not expected to return to pre-pandemic levels until 2025. The Royal College of Surgeons has recommended a wider use of virtual clinics to meet the increased demand. The efficacy of virtual follow up is well documented in the literature; however, there is very little evidence of the role of virtual clinics in the assessment of new elective patients.
    Methods: Observational study comparing clinical outcomes of new patients electively referred to orthopaedic virtual clinics between January and February 2021 with face-to-face clinics in January and February 2020.
    Results: Over the equivalent time frame, more patients were reviewed in virtual clinics compared to traditional face-to-face (821 vs 499). However, virtual clinics lead to significantly more patients being brought back for follow up (78.3% vs 37.3%) and fewer patients received outcomes that progressed their journey towards a definitive intervention or discharge.
    Conclusion: The overall benefit of virtual clinic appointments in the context of reviewing new patients remains to be proven. Despite increasing use of virtual clinics in the National Health Service, we have shown a potential delay to patients' clinical progression, ultimately delaying healthcare delivery. Potential methods to improve the benefit of virtual clinics are proposed.

    Abstract Background: Supracondylar periprosthetic fractures, when amenable to fixation, can be treated by either retrograde intramedullary nailing (RIMN) or plating. There is paucity of evidence regarding the superiority of one fixation method over the other. This review aims to determine which fixation method leads to better functional outcomes and perioperative complications.
    Hypothesis: Superiority of intramedullary nailing in terms of fracture healing and surgical complications when compared to distal femoral plating.
    Materials and methods: Using PRISMA guidelines, a systematic search was performed. Studies which reported comparative outcome data following the two interventions were included. Qualitative data analysis and narrative synthesis were reported. Pooled comparisons were conducted when similar quantifiable outcomes were reported in a minimum of three studies.
    Results: A total of 151 records were generated by the search. Eight studies met the eligibility criteria so were included in the final analysis. The studies comprised a total of 407 cases, with a follow up period ranging from 1 to 15 years. 252 cases were treated with plate fixation and 155 with RIMN. All studies were mitigated by heterogeneity and methodological limitations. The review showed marked variation in descriptive fracture classifications. Narrative data synthesis was conducted. Although guarded by the methodological limitations of individual studies, outcomes showed that mean time to union was equivalent; 5.88 months for RIMN compared to 6.75 months in plating, standardised mean difference=0.28 (95% CI -0.02-0.58). Similarly, no statistically significant differences were reported between RIMN and plating for deep infection (OR:1.41 95%CI 0.40-5.00) and revision surgery (OR: 0.74, 95%CI 0.39-1.41).
    Discussion: Clinical outcomes showed a tendency that favours intramedullary nailing; however, generalisation of results was not possible. Future priority must be awarded to higher quality research in the form of a collaborative multicentre observational studies to delineate appropriate major diagnostic categories, ultimately informing a large comparative trial using condition specific validated outcome measures.
    Level of evidence: III, meta-analysis.

    Abstract Background/aims: Twelve-step mutual self-help groups provide cost-effective support for recovery from substance misuse problems. Evidence suggests they are successful as an adjunct to formal treatment and that referral from clinicians is important in fostering engagement.
    Methods: This study surveyed substance misuse treatment professionals employed within two agencies in Birmingham (UK).
    Results: A total of 92 clinicians (79.3%) eligible to participate completed a questionnaire that explored their attitudes, knowledge and referral practices with regard to 12-step groups (TSGs). Most (74%) had a positive attitude, and almost 80% referred at least some of their clients to TSGs. However, 30% had not referred any clients in the past month, and multivariate analysis showed that referral was associated with greater objective knowledge about TSGs when other factors were controlled for.
    Conclusions: These results have implications for linking professional treatment to mutual self-help groups, and potential strategies to increase referral are discussed.

    Abstract Background: Recent national (NICE) guidelines in England recommend that initial debridement and wound excision of open tibial fractures take place within 12 h of the time of injury, a change from the previous target of 24 h. This study aims to assess the effect of timing of the initial debridement and wound excision on major infective complications, the impact of the new guidance, and the feasibility of adhering to the 12 h target within the infrastructure currently existing in four major trauma centres in England.
    Methods: A retrospective review was performed of Gustilo-Anderson grade 3B open tibial fractures presenting acutely to four Major Trauma Centres (MTCs) in England with co-located plastic surgery services over a ten-month period. The incidence of deep infective complications was compared between patients who underwent initial surgery according to the new NICE guidance and those who did not. Patients warranting emergency surgery for severely contaminated injury, concomitant life-threatening injury and neurovascular compromise were excluded. Multi-variable logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the effect of timing of surgical debridement on development of deep infective complications.
    Results: 112 patients with 116 fractures were included. Six fractures (5.2%) developed deep infective complications. 38% (n = 44) underwent primary debridement within 12 h and 90% within 24 h. There was no significant difference in the incidence of major infective complications if debrided in less than or greater than 12 h (4.5% vs 5.6%, p = 1.00). Logistic regression found no significant relationship between timing of wound excision and development of deep infection. There was no significant decrease in mean time to debridement following introduction of new national guidance (13.6 vs 16.1 h) in these four MTCs.
    Conclusion: Overall, the rate of deep infection in high energy open tibial fractures managed within the four major trauma centes is low. Achieving surgical debridement within 12 h is challenging within the current infrastructure, and it is unclear whether adhering to this target will significantly affect the incidence of severe infective complications. Debridement within 24 h appears achievable. If a 12-h target is to be met, it is vital to ensure dedicated orthoplastic capacity is adequately resourced.
