Tom Moberly hears advice on what to do when this happens Sara Sreih, medicolegal consultant at the Medical Protection Society, says, “According to the 2024 NHS staff survey, more than 15% of staff experienced at least one incident of harassment, bullying, or abuse from colleagues in the previous 12 months. Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for us at MPS to see cases that have deep rooted disputes between colleagues at the centre. “Such behaviours not only affect those on the receiving end but can have a profound impact on patient care. If inappropriate communication or interactions are allowed to play out in the context of handovers or referrals, for example, patients can be put at risk. “If you’re being undermined by a colleague, pause and take a deep metaphorical breath. Bearing in mind your professional obligations to work collaboratively and to treat colleagues with kindness and respect, you should be wary about being drawn in to responding in an unprofessional manner. “If another clinician questions a clinical decision …","PeriodicalId":22388,"journal":{"name":"The BMJ","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144145703","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}

As a general physician with excellent diagnostic skills, Qureshi was much sought after for his clinical opinion. Boyd, who was a newly appointed consultant, left a message for his more senior colleague asking for advice on a patient. When Boyd returned to the ward some hours later he found that Qureshi had already been to see the patient and gone. “That was astonishing to me,” said Boyd. At the time doctors worked over two sites—Halifax General Hospital and Royal Halifax Infirmary—and Qureshi, who had been in post several years by this point, had travelled a few miles down the road to help his junior colleague. “When I met Sarfraz a few days later, not only did he remember the patient, he also remembered her family and her interests. And that was typical of him—he knew his patients’ medical conditions but he also knew them as individuals,” Boyd said. Halifax was a friendly district hospital, where the consultants were mutually supportive, and Qureshi, whom …","PeriodicalId":22388,"journal":{"name":"The BMJ","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144136976","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}

Drug stock-outs","authors":"Jeffrey K Aronson","doi":"10.1136/bmj.r1088","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.r1088","url":null,"abstract":"A deficiency in the availability of a pharmaceutical product is usually known as a shortage. However, the term “stock-out” has also been used to describe a deficiency that occurs locally. It is sometimes hard to determine when a stock-out becomes a shortage, and that may be why stock-outs have been less well studied than shortages. In addition, because they are local, stock-outs may be thought by some to be less important than shortages. However, the causes of stock-outs may be different from the causes of shortages and they are as important to those who are affected as shortages are, even though there are fewer of them. Two years ago colleagues and I published two papers detailing various aspects of drug shortages.12 We covered definitions of the relevant terms, causes of shortages, the harms they can cause, and potential solutions. To do this, we looked for published definitions, of which we found 79. We also searched PubMed, Medline, and EMBASE to the end of 2022, initially using the term “shortage*.” However, this resulted in many thousands of hits, and we therefore restricted our search to the use of the term in titles of papers, of which we found about 6700. My most recent search has extended this to nearly 8000. In principle “shortage” is not hard to define. The Oxford English Dictionary ( OED ) does it succinctly: “Deficiency in quantity; the amount by which a sum of money, a supply of goods, or the like, is deficient.”3 However, when it comes to defining a drug shortage, problems arise. First there is the question of extent, and specifically …","PeriodicalId":22388,"journal":{"name":"The BMJ","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144130261","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}

Oral diseases were not mentioned in the recently released zero draft of the political declaration for the 2025 United Nations high level meeting on non-communicable diseases (NCDs).2 This omission has deep roots. Dentistry and medicine evolved as separate professions, creating educational and institutional silos that left oral health seen as specialised but not integral to overall health or health systems.3 In 2021, the World Health Assembly, the decision making body of all 193 World Health Organization (WHO) member states, adopted a resolution on oral health after 14 years of silence.4 A global oral health status report, the global strategy on oral health, and the development of a global action plan followed.56 In 2024, more than 100 countries endorsed the Bangkok declaration on universal health coverage for …","PeriodicalId":22388,"journal":{"name":"The BMJ","volume":"140 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144123076","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}
