A systematic review of outcome and impact of Master's in health and health care
Conclusions: Evidence suggests that graduates apply newly learned competencies in the field and that they progress in their career. There is a paucity of well-designed studies assessing the outcomes and impact of health-related master's degree programmes in low- and middle-income countries. Studies of such programmes should consider the context and define outcomes and impact.

Our response to the final report of the Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust Public Inquiry
This report is the latest in a long line of reports on failures of patient care, dating back to the Ely hospital inquiry of the late 1960s, that have come to similar conclusions. This shows that the real challenge is not the diagnosis and prescription for the problem, it is ensuring that the remedy is administered effectively. Even if all 290 recommendations were implemented now, the fundamental shift in culture can only be achieved if patient care is put top of the agenda for boards and is the first responsibility of professionals working in the NHS. That will take time and commitment over many years.’See our views on t...

He knew it was only a matter of time before his 16-year-old daughter, too, was going to have to undergo the ritual against her will. “She begged me to support and protect her. It was a tough decision, but I agreed. I sent her to Nairobi to live with a friend,” Lekupe recalled. He is among an increasing number of men be...
