Applying ethics to AI in the workplace: the design of a scorecard for Australian workplace health and safety.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is taking centre stage in economic growth and business operations alike. Public discourse about the practical and ethical implications of AI has mainly focussed on the societal level. There is an emerging knowledge base on AI risks to human rights around data security and privacy concerns.

Transfusion 2024: A 5-year plan for clinical and laboratory transfusion in England.

The Transfusion 2024 plan outlines key priorities for clinical and laboratory transfusion practice for safe patient care across the NHS for the next 5 years. It is based on the outcomes of a multi-professional symposium held in March 2019, organised by the National Blood Transfusion Committee (NBTC) and NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT), attended and supported by Professor Keith Willet and Dame Sue Hill on behalf of NHS England and Improvement. This best practice guidance contained within this publication will facilitate the necessary change in pathway design to meet the transfusion challenges and pressures for the restoration of a cohesive, and functional, healthcare system across the NHS following the COVID-19 pandemic.

Evaluation of a QT nomogram for risk assessment after antidepressant overdose.

Aims: A QT-heart rate nomogram has recently been proposed as a means of identifying patients at risk of torsades de pointes after antidepressant overdose, based on published cases of drug-induced torsades de pointes. The present study sought to examine the performance of the nomogram in patients who ingest an antidepressant overdose but do not develop arrhythmia.

Methods: A retrospective case control study of patients presenting to hospital after overdose of citalopram, mirtazapine and venlafaxine was carried out.

Preventing relapse of depression in primary care: a pilot study of the "Keeping the blues away" program.

Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of "Keeping the blues away" (KBA), a manualised depression relapse prevention program for general practice, in reducing the relapse of depression compared with usual care (with the aim of halving the relapse rate), and in reducing depression severity and improving the process of care.

Design And Setting: A cluster randomised controlled trial conducted in 2004-2005 in South Australian general practices.

Participants: 43 general practitioners from 23 urban and rural practices recruited 110 patients with depression (age range, 18-75 years).

Improving blood transfusion: a patient-centred approach.

More than three million blood components are transfused every year in the UK, providing life-saving and life-enhancing treatment to thousands of patients (McClelland 2001). However, transfusion error, resulting in the patient receiving the incorrect blood component, remains the largest risk related to transfusion in the UK. By developing accessible blood transfusion policies, auditable performance standards and training, and educational initiatives, nurses can increase compliance in high-risk areas of the transfusion process and reduce the potential for errors.
