Remote video auditing with real-time feedback in an academic surgical suite improves safety and efficiency metrics: a cluster randomised study.

Importance: Compliance with the surgical safety checklist during operative procedures has been shown to reduce inhospital mortality and complications but proper execution by the surgical team remains elusive.

Objective: We evaluated the impact of remote video auditing with real-time provider feedback on checklist compliance during sign-in, time-out and sign-out and case turnover times.

Design, Setting: Prospective, cluster randomised study in a 23-operating room (OR) suite.

Gene therapy trials: a patient pathway.

This article describes ongoing gene therapy trials at University Hospital Birmingham NHS Trust for liver, head and neck and prostate cancer treatment. The authors suggest that this research programme might become an alternative option for patients who have not responded to conventional treatments.
