'The Norm Is to Not Openly Collaborate': Using the Lens of Co-Production to Evaluate the Development of a COVID-19 ICU Triage Policy.

Introduction: In 2020, surging cases of COVID-19 meant that health services had to plan for crisis-level triage. In the Australian Capital Territory, the Clinical Health Emergency Coordination Centre sought to develop a triage policy in collaboration with a range of consumer, carer and community groups. This study aims to map the collaborative development of the COVID-19 ICU triage policy onto the principles of co-production.

There has been a growing emphasis on consumer representation in the development of health policy, services, research, and education. Existing literature has critiqued how discourses of representativeness can disempower consumers working in health systems. The context of the current study is consumer engagement in the development of COVID-19 triage policy and practice in a local health service.

Changes in estrogenic and androgenic activities at different stages of treatment in wastewater treatment works.

Estrogenic and androgenic activities of wastewater were determined during treatment in five wastewater treatment works (WWTWs) in the Untied Kingdom. With one exception, both estrogenic and androgenic activities decreased markedly as wastewater progressed through the plants; removal rates were generally 70% or higher, sometimes reaching 100%. Most of the reduction in activity occurred during secondary (biological) treatment.
