In order to enhance patient outcome and patient safety in healthcare, interprofessional education (IPE) has over the years become a specific area of interest focusing on teaching concepts, research methods, and implementation strategies. To achieve commitment and positive attitudes as part of the institutional readiness towards IPE, the adoption of change management aspects can support its early implementation. This short report presents results of a baseline survey on attitudes and preferences for IPE among first-year students in medicine and nursing, as well as among chief physicians, nurse directors, and administrative directors at the associated university hospital. For the survey, the UWE-IP (University of the West of England Interprofessional Questionnaire) was used along with ten customised questions. Overall, a high degree of approval for IPE was observed in all participants. Furthermore, participants showed positive attitudes in three of the four UWE-IP subscales. However, neutral to negative attitudes were documented in subscale interprofessional interaction.
At long last: in May 2012 the German Medical Association (GMA) has apologised for medical atrocities under National Socialism (appendix). Although overdue, the apology is necessary and highly commendable, not least as survivors of medical atrocities and persecution are still living. German medicine between 1933 and 1945 saw a colossal breach of the ethics of patient care: doctors initiated and implemented an estimated 350,000 coerced sterilisations and 260,000 killings of mentally ill and disabled patients, and an unknown number of coerced human experiments, taking well over a thousand research subjects to the point of death. Doctors conducted selections for slave labour or death at Auschwitz, and took part in the development and use of killing methods, as poison gas, fatal injections, starvation diets and electrocution. Tens of thousands of bodies of the executed were delivered to German medical institutes, so that teaching and research in some departments routinely used bodies of Nazi victims until at least 1990 and in some cases for longer. This year's German Medical Assembly has opened a new chapter in the German medical profession's engagement with the Nazi past. What has already become known as the "Nürnberg Declaration 2012" goes beyond all declarations to date regarding medicine during National Socialism. It expresses understanding of how physicians took a major role in atrocities under National Socialism, as well as a long overdue official apology. Its full significance will become apparent with further disclosures following the clear words of the German profession. For an apology needs to be informed by full disclosure of evidence for which the apology is being rendered. It has taken 33 years for the German Medical Association to hold its annual assembly in Nürnberg since it last met there, in a city which is historically associated both with Nazism and especially with Nazi medicine. It was here that the in 1935 the Nürnberg Racial Laws were proclaimed, here that the Nazi Party rallies were held, and at the Doctors Trial of 1946/47 the grim details of crimes against humanity were laid bare. Whether one is a vistor to Nürnberg or a resident, no one can escape its history. Although the process of coming to terms with the past, has not always been easy, the city of Nuremberg has found various ways of engaging with its Nazi past as with museums and a human rights award. The Nürnberg Group of the IPPNW (International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War) organised the international congresses on "Medicine and

Taking into account that both in separate articles of the CPC (Articles 8-29) and in scientific and practical comments to this Code, the contents of these principles are sufficiently thoroughly, fully and detailed described, it should be only mentioned, that the approach proposed in this paper is not indisputable, although, on the other hand, the problem of identifying inter-branch principles in Criminal and Executive Law is obvious, relevant and of a large theoretical and applied value. Under the interagency principles of criminal and executive activity of the personnel of the bodies and institutions of execution of punishments should be understood those initial provisions, which arose from the content of the principles of criminal and law branches of Law (criminal, criminal procedure, criminalistics, etc.) and determine the content of work (service) these persons and directions of their further development in the field of execution of punishment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
