Adoption of clinical pharmacist roles in primary care: Longitudinal evidence from English general practice.

Background: Over the last decade, the number of clinical pharmacists working within multidisciplinary teams in English general practice has expanded Aim: This study examines changes in quality of prescribing after the adoption of clinical pharmacists in English general practices.

Methods: Two-way fixed effects regression was used to compare differences in prescribing indicators in general practices in England with and without pharmacists following implementation between September 2015 and December 2019 Results: Between September 2015 and December 2019, the proportion of practices employing a clinical pharmacist increased from 236/ 7,623 (3.10%) to 1,402/ 6,836 (20.

Free-for-all: Does crowding impact outcomes because hospital emergency departments do not prioritise effectively?

Unexpected peaks in volumes of attendances at hospital emergency departments (EDs) have been found to affect waiting times, intensity of care and outcomes. We ask whether these effects of ED crowding on patients are caused by poor clinical prioritisation or a quality-quantity trade-off generated by a binding capacity constraint. We study the effects of crowding created by lower-severity patients on the outcomes of approximately 13 million higher-severity patients attending the 140 public EDs in England between April 2016 and March 2017.

Outcomes for university students following emergency care presentation for deliberate self-harm: a retrospective observational study of emergency departments in England for 2017/2018.

Objectives: Identify university-aged students and contrast their healthcare provision and outcomes with other patients in the same age group attending emergency departments for deliberate self-harm.

Design: Retrospective cross-sectional observational study.

Setting: Patients visiting 129 public hospital emergency departments across England between April 2017 and March 2018.

Gender-related self-reported mental health inequalities in primary care in England: a cross-sectional analysis using the GP Patient Survey.

Background: Transgender, non-binary, and gender diverse people face discrimination and barriers to accessing health care. Existing evidence suggests higher rates of mental health conditions among these groups compared with binary and cisgender groups. However, information is limited by poor gender recording in health records and surveys.

Do Informal Care Recipients Internalise Carer Burden? Examining the Impact of Informal Care Receipt on Health Behaviours.

Background: Providing informal care has a negative effect on the caregiver's health and well-being, but little is known about how individuals respond to receiving informal care. Care recipients may improve their health behaviours to minimise the onerousness of caregiving and the stress faced by their carer from seeing a loved one in ill-health.

Objective: We aimed to examine whether informal care recipients internalise the potential for carer spillovers through changes in health behaviours.
