    A new analysis of the risks and benefits of offering two doses of COVID-19 vaccination to all 12-17 year olds in England shows that the benefits clearly outweigh the risks, given the current high case rates. In the UK currently a single dose of vaccine is recommended for all 12-17 year olds. The research, which is in press with the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, estimates hospital and ICU admissions, deaths and cases of long COVID averted over a 16-week period by vaccinating all 12-17 year olds in England. The analysis includes high and low case rate scenarios.

    This study, published in Leadership in Health Services, assesses how patient safety culture and incident reporting differ across professional groups and between long-term and acute care. It used the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture questionnaire to assess patient safety culture in long-term care (wards and nursing homes) and acute hospital settings at one Finnish healthcare organisation. The authors highlight that this study reveals differences in safety culture between acute care and long-term care settings, and between professionals and managers. They also note that staff involved in the study did not feel they were given enough feedback about reported incidents by managers.

    In this blog Dr Chris Tiplady, consultant haematologist at Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, talks about the importance of building relationships with patients, carers and relatives. When a patient's family member dies, it leaves an empty chair in the consultation room and brings a sense of unexpected loss. Dr Tiplady reflects that throughout the pandemic, empty chairs have become a very common sight and he encourages readers to see these empty chairs as a reminder: "They should remind you to talk, to enquire over who should be in that chair, to have the conversations that need to be had, to recognise the relationships we all have that support us and that make our days better."

This analysis of waiting list data by The King's Fund shows a clear relationship between longer waiting lists and deprivation, with those living in the most deprived areas nearly twice as likely to wait more than a year for treatment compared to those living in the least deprived areas.

    This study published in The Lancet analysed patient comments gathered from freely available websites using the Patient Experience Platform. It examined comments to identify disparity in care experiences of people who identified as overweight or living with obesity across all NHS Acute and Specialist Trusts and all general practitioners (GPs) in England from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2020.  The study found that: across all regions, perceptions of the quality of care in the categories ‘Effective Treatment’ and ‘Emotional Support’ were significantly lower for people who identified as living with obesity compared to people who did not. people who identified as living with obesity in the negative behavioural cluster have a lower overall perceived quality of care score. barriers to quality care experienced by people who identified as living with obesity include speed of access, effective treatment, emotional support and stigmatising healthcare experiences.
