Implementation of the SIPS surgical handover system was associated with improvements in handover quality, patient physiology, and staff perceptions of safety without prolonging handover meetings. ja.ma/46PxqsE
Line graph showing "Handovers/wk where interention was used, %" vs "Intervention week". The graph starts from 0 and rises sharply to 80% by week 2, plateaus around 100% between weeks 5-14, then fluctuates between 80% and 100% until week 20.

In ONE decade COSECSA has increased the proportion of women surgeons in East, Central and South Africa from 9% to 27%!

Meanwhile in Australasia, relatively static at ~18%.
Ditto UK at ~17%

Time to take inspiration and push harder.

The story of London cabby MRIs changing as they learn “the knowledge” is well-known but did you know an Irish scientist was behind it? RIP Dr Eleanor Maguire @nytimes.com

Eleanor Maguire, Memory Expert Who Studied London Cabbies, Dies at 54
By watching the brain process information, she discovered that a specific region plays a key role in spatial navigation — and that it can be strengthened like a muscle.

Very interesting publication, thanks! The simplicity of a single system is appealing but important differences between medical and surgical patients noted here- as well as different staffing levels & on call responsibilities for each- suggest further study might be wise

Did you know that nearly half of all cervical cancers are diagnosed in women who have never been screened? The most effective action women aged 25 to 65 can take to prevent cervical cancer is to #ChooseScreening and come for follow-up appointments if advised.
