The College has recently published an occasional paper in response to the Francis inquiry into the care at Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust. We consider that it overlooks one key question implicit in the inquiry’s recommendations: ‘Is the business model of care fit for purpose?’ We question whether the business model in its present form is appropriate for the delivery of healthcare. We suggest there is a need for greater conceptual clarity with regard to the nature of compassionate care and the meaning of person-centred medicine. We recommend that a broader moral and ethical framework is considered not only for psychiatry, but for all healthcare provision which would transcend specialty and Royal College boundaries.

“…The acrylic polymers and copolymers possess unique combination of the properties such as excellent weather ability, great resistance to abrasion, water and cracks and also low thermal conductivity which is a key parameter for thermal insulators. Some investigations have focused on improving the mechanical properties of the acrylic resins with various additives such as silica nano‐particles, fly ash, glass fiber, and woven electrical glass fibers (E‐glass fiber) . Delmonico fabricated an insulating paint for interior and exterior of buildings including hollow glass extender or glass microspheres.…”

In this study, two different types of acrylic resins were synthesized through emulsion polymerization. The first category of acrylic resins contained methyl methacrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, and acrylic acid monomers. The second composition had an additional monomer named acrylamide (AAm). The kinetic behavior of polymerization reaction was investigated. The results showed that the presence of the AAm monomer increased the monomer conversion (>90% in the first 10 min) and the rate of polymerization. Furthermore, the latexes were characterized by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) Fourier Transform Infrared, and differential scanning calorimeter analysis. To study the effect of silica aerogel as a thermal barrier additive for acrylic resins, samples were mixed with silica aerogel using sodium dodecyl sulfate as a surfactant. In the next step, the above-mentioned resins were used to make white acrylic-based paints. The heat transfer measurements revealed that the thermal insulation properties were not affected by the composition of the resin. On the other hand, the use of AAm monomer increased the paint adhesion properties and helped the resin to receive more aerogel (up to 5 wt %) which in turn decreased the heat loss of the painted wall.

Physician Suicide: A Scoping Literature Review to Highlight Opportunities for Prevention

et al. 2020

AbstractObjective:The aim of this scoping review is to map the current landscape of published research and perspectives on physician suicide. Findings could serve as a roadmap for further investigations and potentially inform efforts to prevent physician suicide.Methods:Ovid MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and Scopus were searched for English-language publications from August 21, 2017 through April 28, 2018. Inclusion criteria were a primary outcome or thesis focused on suicide (including suicide completion, attempts, and thoughts or ideation) among medical students, postgraduate trainees, or attending physicians. Opinion articles were included. Studies that were non-English or those that only mentioned physician burnout, mental health, or substance use disorders were excluded. Data extraction was performed by two authors.Results:The search yielded 1,596 articles, of which 347 articles passed to the full-text review round. The oldest article was an editorial from 1903; 210 (60.3%) articles have been published from 2000 to present. Authors originated from 37 countries, and 143 (41.2%) were opinion articles. The most discussed were suicide risk factors and culture of practice issues, while the least discussed themes included public health and postvention.Conclusions:Consistency and reliability of data and information about physician suicides could be improved. Data limitations partly contribute to these issues. Also, various suicide risk factors for physicians have been explored, and several remain poorly understood. Based on this scoping review, a public health approach, including surveillance and early warning systems, investigations of sentinel cases, and postvention may be impactful next steps in preventing physician deaths by suicide.

Dr Pat Manson and the way forward

Abstract: Dr Pat Manson, the GP, was compassionate, caring, conscientious. As a father, he was committed, involved, proud. And then he took his own life. Why? The question that will never be answered, by his family or by his colleagues, us among them.
