Staff support during COVID-19 within an Acute Hospital Trust.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has put immense pressure on the National Health Service (NHS) and all healthcare professionals, not only physically but also mentally and the need to fully develop and implement a strategy to protect the mental health of healthcare professionals has never been more urgent. Research has demonstrated that staff can be supported by strengthening teams and offering frequent well-being support.

Aims: To assess the feedback from delivery of a strategy to provide psychological well-being support to NHS staff during the COVID-19 pandemic and whether this 'Support for Teams' initiative made a positive impact on staff and in what way.

The Craniofacial Collaboration UK: Developmental Outcomes in 3-Year-Old Children With Metopic Synostosis.

The Craniofacial Collaboration UK (CC-UK) has been established across the 4 highly specialized craniofacial centers in the UK since 2015. This joint collective aims to address the current limitations within developmental craniofacial research, using robust clinical data from a homogenous sample of children. This paper presents the third wave of findings from the CC-UK, with consideration to developmental and behavioral parent-report measures.

Neurodevelopmental, Cognitive, and Psychosocial Outcomes for Individuals With Pathogenic Variants in the TCF12 Gene and Associated Craniosynostosis.

Heterozygous mutations in the TCF12 gene were discovered in 2013 as a cause of craniosynostosis (CS). However, limited information regarding the behavioral phenotypic profile is available. Here the authors provide the first detailed study of the neurodevelopmental, cognitive, and psychosocial outcomes for patients with a pathogenic TCF12 variant and associated CS.

Craniofacial Collaboration UK: Developmental Outcomes in 5-Year-Old Children With Sagittal Synostosis.

The Craniofacial Collaboration UK (CC-UK) is a joint initiative that seeks to address some of the limitations of previous developmental research with this patient group by providing systematically collected, robust data from clinically and chronologically homogenous representative samples of children. The current paper outlines the developmental outcomes at the age of 5 for children who had previously undergone primary surgery for single-suture sagittal synostosis (SS). It shows broad consistencies with the previous CC-UK work, indicating that the majority of children with SS will perform within the average range compared to peers across a number of developmental, behavioral and emotional domains.

The Psychosocial Adjustment of Children Born With a Cleft Lip and/or Palate: Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Analyses.

Objective: To determine the psychosocial adjustment of children born with a cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P).

Design: Longitudinal analyses of psychosocial outcomes and cross-sectional comparison with published norms.

Setting: Retrospective clinical audit at a UK cleft center.

Preliminary Analysis From the Craniofacial Collaboration United Kingdom Developmental Outcomes in Children With Sagittal Synostosis.

The Craniofacial Collaboration United Kingdom (CC-UK) was established across the 4 Highly Specialized Craniofacial Centres (HSCCs) in the UK in 2015. This is the first wave of data to be analyzed, looking at 3-year-old children with sagittal synostosis who have had primary corrective surgery. This is a comprehensive, homogenous dataset, looking at parental measures of development and behavior.
