Martin McKee and colleagues outline the challenges and propose a way forward Donald Trump did not win the 2020 election, but asserting that he did became a prerequisite for Republicans standing for nomination to Congress or the Senate to win their primaries. An entire party became a vehicle for disinformation.1 Trump did win the 2024 presidential election, and key to that victory was building on the success of that lie. If you control enough of the information ecosystem, truth no longer matters. Another telling example: Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, are not eating cats and dogs. US vice president elect, JD Vance, the source of that claim, admitted as much even as he justified it. “If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that’s what I'm going to do,” he said.2 Disinformation in politics is nothing new. History is replete with claims that were fabricated to advance political aims. Although threats were made against the local authorities in Springfield, no lives were lost. But in other cases, they were. US president Lyndon B Johnson used a fictitious attack on US ships to justify US involvement in Vietnam. British involvement in the Iraq invasion in 2003 was justified by a “dodgy dossier.” …","PeriodicalId":22388,"journal":{"name":"The BMJ","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142599447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

That translates to an average of three attacks a day, every day. The attacks have killed almost 2500 health workers, patients, and bystanders—one a day. To prevent and mitigate attacks on healthcare— one of the most disturbing aspects of today’s conflicts—we need renewed political, legal, diplomatic, and programmatic efforts. Attacks on healthcare are a global problem. While reporting is not exhaustive, most attacks over the past seven years have occurred in the occupied Palestinian territory, Ukraine, Democratic Republic of Congo, Myanmar, Afghanistan, and Syria.1 Despite clear prohibitions under international law, not one person has been held accountable for any of the over 7400 attacks documented by WHO. Historically, only a handful of cases have led to charges and prosecution. The message is clear—current laws, accountability mechanisms, and diplomatic efforts are proving ineffective at protecting healthcare in conflict.2 Impunity is the rule. And the public health implications are stark—attacks on healthcare severely disrupt access to life …","PeriodicalId":22388,"journal":{"name":"The BMJ","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142599444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Malcolm, a talented musician and performer, accompanied his wife as she toured festivals, schools, and libraries in the UK and around the world. Together they performed the stories, with Malcolm acting characters ranging from an accident prone dragon to a comic cattle thief. His star role, in the words of Julia’s literary agent, was “a particularly suave fox” in The Gruffalo. Malcolm met Julia Shields when they were students at the University of Bristol and they married in 1972. Donaldson went on to work in Brighton, London, and Lyon, France, before moving back to Bristol to be a senior registrar in paediatrics. Six years later he moved to Glasgow where he was appointed a paediatric consultant at Yorkhill Hospital and a senior lecturer at Glasgow University. Donaldson started as a single handed paediatric endocrinologist and he soon established a range of multidisciplinary clinics and services for children. His main interests were thyroid problems and Turner and Prader-Willi syndromes. At the time there were few specialist clinics and he quickly became a respected …","PeriodicalId":22388,"journal":{"name":"The BMJ","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142599448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pressure to make the correct diagnosis is extremely high. Failing to recognise maltreatment can result in the child experiencing severe harm or even death. Conversely, incorrect diagnoses of accidental injuries as abusive or misinterpretations of poverty as neglect may burden care givers and lead to subsequent mistrust in healthcare providers.1 Unwarranted investigations and subsequent referral to child welfare (social) services affect marginalised populations disproportionately, including children of black, Hispanic, and Aboriginal ethnicity, and visible minorities.23 Two education articles in The BMJ offer healthcare providers guidance to better identify child abuse and neglect and recognise young people experiencing criminal and sexual exploitation.45 They summarise the growing evidence base that should inform consistent, effective practice. Schwartz et al discuss screening using clinical decision rules such as the TEN-4-FACESp, which identifies region, age, and patterns of bruising that are more likely to be caused by abuse than accidental injury.46 Such tools have advanced the ability of busy frontline clinicians to identify injuries suggestive of child maltreatment, but they rely on providers’ ability to remember which bruises, and at what ages, are “high risk.” Also, a positive screening result does not mean that a child is certainly …","PeriodicalId":22388,"journal":{"name":"The BMJ","volume":"80 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142598110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
