In September 2023, the UK Health Security Agency's (UKHSA) South West Health Protection Team received notification of patients with perichondritis. All five cases had attended the same cosmetic piercing studio and a multi-disciplinary outbreak control investigation was subsequently initiated. An additional five cases attending the same studio were found.

- Paget's disease of bone (PDB) makes bones grow and change shape in a messy way, which can lead to problems like pain, deafness, and broken bones.
- A study with 168 people found that about 73% of them had musculoskeletal pain, mainly because of osteoarthritis in joints away from the PDB affected areas.
- The research showed that pain was more common in older folks and women, and highlighted the need to check each person's pain to treat it correctly.
Background: Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) are reported to have difficulties in trusting. Yet no previous study investigating CSA survivors' subjective experiences of trust exists and there is a paucity of clinical research into constructs and definitions of "trust."
Aims: To use a phenomenological lens to investigate CSA survivors' descriptions of trust relationships and trustworthy others by privileging their subjective experience.
The Metabolic Bone Health Department, Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, serves a local population of approximately 445 000 people. A retrospective audit of attendance data regarding the denosumab treatment clinic (the traditional treatment pathway) and the denosumab Self-Injection Program (SIP) was conducted to determine whether the SIP is both cost-effective and environmentally beneficial, compared to the traditional treatment pathway. Cost analysis was then conducted by the Finance Department.

- Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE), particularly those encoding imipenemase (IMP), were studied for their emergence in a London healthcare network from 2016-2019, showcasing major antibiotic resistance issues across various species.
- The research combined network analysis of patient pathways with genomic studies, identifying 84 Enterobacterales isolates, mainly from Klebsiella, Enterobacter, and E. coli, with a high prevalence of a specific plasmid linked to resistance genes.
- Findings revealed an unnoticed interspecies outbreak through plasmid sharing, emphasizing the need for enhanced investigation techniques like DNA sequencing to effectively track and manage pathogen transmission in hospital settings.
