Medical professionals understand the need to reduce the cost and environmental impact of our work. We also see that being creative in how we plan treatment pathways and communicate with patients can allow us to work sustainably in terms of the resources required, and in tandem, deliver real benefits for patients. Approaches that deliver ‘prevention rather than cure’ and keep medical intervention as minimally invasive as possible are often better for patients, as well as better for the environment.\u0000These concepts are particularly pertinent in the field of reproductive and women’s health, where CREATE Fertility specialise in adopting an approach that is friendly and safe. With natural and mild IVF treatment, delivered with lower doses of drugs, CREATE is able to offer women treatment that reduces risks, side effects and the burden of IVF and supports healthier outcomes for mother and baby, while maintaining outcomes.\u0000That philosophy of putting patients first and finding a more efficient way to work is at the heart of the foundation of CREATE’s ABC IVF. In the UK, and around the world, access to fertility treatment is not fair or equal. For many women and couples, cost is a major barrier and one that can stop them building the family they want. In the UK, availability of NHStreatment is variable around the country. At the time of its launch, ABC IVF was the UK’s lowest cost IVF provider, offering a lifeline to thousands of patients who would not otherwise have been able to access treatment.\u0000In women’s healthcare, alongside education, innovation and research is key, yet in the UK it is acknowledged that historically there has been a ‘male as default’ approach that has affected research and clinical trials 1 . Professor Nargund is committed to helping to work towards the UN’s sustainable development goals three (health and wellbeing), five (gender inequality), ten (reduced inequality) and thirteen (climate action) with s push to provide affordable, accessible, effective and safe fertility treatment, delivered sustainably. The work is far from over and Professor Nargund and her team remain committed to improving the outlook for women’s healthcare.","PeriodicalId":75015,"journal":{"name":"The Homoeopathic physician","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86929474","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}

Healthcare provision within geo-politically separated nation-states continues to be driven by local social, political and economic factors. Therefore, the adage of ‘no size fits all’ is applicable. No two countries have the same healthcare system, anywhere in the world, we know today.

It is characterised by irregular menstruation, hyperandrogenism and polycystic ovarian morphology.\u0000 \u0000While significant progress has been made in understanding PCOS, several research questions remain. For instance, there is a need for further investigation into the aetiology of PCOS, including the role of genetic and environmental factors, to aid in earlier diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, while some therapies have been effective in managing the symptoms of PCOS, their long-term efficacy and safety remain uncertain. There is a need to better understand the long-term health consequences of PCOS, particularly regarding cardiovascular disease and cancer risk.\u0000 \u0000Early diagnosis, lifestyle modifications, and appropriate medical interventions can help to reduce the risk of complications and improve the overall health outcomes of women with PCOS. Looking forward, there is a need for a multidisciplinary approach to studying PCOS, including collaborations between researchers, healthcare providers, and patient advocacy groups. This may involve developing new tools and technologies for diagnosis and treatment and exploring novel interventions and therapies.\u0000There is a growing recognition of the importance of PCOS as a significant health issue affecting millions of women worldwide, and continued research efforts will be critical for improving diagnosis, treatment, and long-term outcomes for those affected by the condition.","PeriodicalId":75015,"journal":{"name":"The Homoeopathic physician","volume":"55 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88855988","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}

It is a distinct high-level skill that is closely associated with the quality of surgical outcomes, patient satisfaction, teamwork, and a surgeon's well-being. Yet it has so far been woefully neglected in surgical training and professional development, with an assumption that these skills develop on their own and cannot be taught or improved. This is an unfortunate and costly oversight that it is time we redress. \u0000But how are good decisions and expertise made? And how can we as a profession improve our thinking to optimize our decision-making and train expertise? \u0000The answer lies not only in gaining more knowledge and experience, which although essential for good decision-making, do not address the fact that so few of us understand the process itself, let alone how to optimize and teach it. The first step, and focus of this book, is understating 'metacognition'; 'thinking about thinking, ' to improve self-awareness, critical thinking and how we make decisions. \u0000The profound developments of psychology and decision-science are now well established and have been successfully incorporated into other high-stakes professions such as senior business management, the military and aviation, to significantly improve both professional and personal outcomes. That surgery has yet to implement this knowledge is like a race car driver using a car with technology that is decades old, ignoring developments that would significantly increase performance. It is time for surgery to embrace this knowledge; to advance and modernize the profession with sharper critical thinking and teaching. \u0000With many real-world surgical examples, Surgical Metacognition: Smarter Decision-making for Surgeons reviews the psychological understanding of decisions and decision-making from recent decades of research, giving us the tools to improve how we think and teach this fundamental skill of expertise.","PeriodicalId":75015,"journal":{"name":"The Homoeopathic physician","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78857550","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}
