Interprofessional collaborative practice in health and social care for people living with multimorbidity: a scoping review protocol.

Background: Multimorbidity, the co-existence of two or more conditions within an individual at any one time, is globally increasing and forecasted to rise. This poses a significant challenge for current models of healthcare delivery, which are now ill-equipped to meet the future population health needs. Interprofessional collaborative practice is a specific way professionals work closely together and with patients and their families to improve patient outcomes.

Long term exposure to ambient air pollution and hospital admission burden in Scotland: 16 year prospective population cohort study.

Objectives: Air pollution is considered a major threat for global health and is associated with various health outcomes. Previous research on long term exposure to ambient air pollution and health placed more emphasis on mortality rather than hospital admission outcomes and was characterised by heterogeneities in the size of effect estimates between studies, with less focus on mental/behavioural or infectious diseases outcomes. In this study, we investigated the association between long term exposure to ambient air pollution and all cause and cause specific hospital admissions.

All-cancer incidence and mortality in Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, and their descendants in England and Wales.

Background: This paper identifies differences in all-cancer incidence and mortality between Pakistani-born (PB), Bangladeshi-born (BB), their descendants, and the White British (WB) in England and Wales. Pakistanis and Bangladeshis are the most marginalised and disadvantaged groups in England and Wales yet, are found to have low cancer mortality and low all-cause mortality. Previous studies though have not looked at generational differences, applied individual-level data nor separated Pakistanis and Bangladeshis from each other and other Asian groups.
