Background There is a need to develop evidence-based strategies to maximise student engagement in online learning contexts. Audience response systems (ARS) are well-established active learning tools that improve engagement in the face-to-face classroom, but they remain under-researched in the online context. Aims This study aimed to directly compare student engagement, perceptions and learning following clinical anatomy revision sessions including interactive questions asked using an ARS (Mentimeter) compared to interactive questions asked using videoconferencing interaction only.

- - The study emphasizes the importance of culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and continuous care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander parents during the perinatal period (from pregnancy to two years after birth).
- - A scoping review identified thirteen toolkits that provide guidance on implementing these care models, with key principles like collaboration, holistic care, and safety, while noting that no single resource covers all three concepts comprehensively.
- - The research indicates a need for a synthesized toolkit that integrates all three care approaches to better support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families during the crucial first 1000 days.

Objective: To compare neonatal outcomes following URS, stent, or PCN in pregnant women presenting with suspected renal colic.

Article Synopsis
- - Over the last 20 years, the prescription of opioids for noncancer pain in the UK has risen, leading to concerns about associated harms; thus, individual patient needs must guide opioid prescribing policies.
- - A study analyzed data from over 3 million opioid prescription episodes from 2006 to 2021, finding that most patients were women (61%) and aged 45 and older (77%), with musculoskeletal conditions being the primary reason for new prescriptions (80.8%).
- - The findings indicate that nearly 75% of new opioid prescriptions were for musculoskeletal pain, particularly conditions like osteoarthritis and low back pain, suggesting a need for better policies that promote nonpharmacological treatments where the risks of
Ultrasound-guided cannulation (USGC) of a peripheral vein reduces the need for central vascular access device (CVAD) placement to perform a successful apheresis procedure. Effective training of healthcare professionals to acquire this skill is essential. Here, we report on the implementation of the USGC training across eight apheresis units in England.
