For this reason, some athletes use medical substances to push these states further to reach higher levels of performance. Using medical substances or methods to boost performance without medical necessity (known as ‘Doping’), is not only unethical, but also potentially harmful to an athlete’s health. For this reason, strict guidelines on prohibited drugs have been created. Nonetheless, athletes will experience illnesses that require treatment with medication, and thus, their clinician should help navigate treatment plans that enable them to compete fairly and safely. This article highlights banned drugs that might commonly be encountered, alongside the clearance for athletes with legitimate medical need for medication on the prohibited list.","PeriodicalId":438901,"journal":{"name":"InnovAiT: Education and inspiration for general practice","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140444197","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}

Increased population migration is leading to culturally diverse patient populations with more diverse health needs and expectations. The provision of accessible and equitable primary care poses workforce, infrastructure and management challenges for high- and lower-middle income countries that transcend national borders. In this special issue, we describe ‘global primary care’ as primary care training, research and service delivery that places a priority on the needs and overall health of individuals and their communities, to advance health equity worldwide. Given this nascent definition, what should ‘global primary care research’ look like? The following case demonstrates the breadth of physical, mental, and social issues a primary care practitioner must consider when faced with a patient from a marginalised group in an inner-city practice and why training and research must have a focus on equity.","PeriodicalId":438901,"journal":{"name":"InnovAiT: Education and inspiration for general practice","volume":"337 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139799036","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}
