Background: In residency programs, the availability of faculty mentors for traditional dyadic mentorship relationships may be limited. Few frameworks exist for mentorship programs with a combined faculty and peer mentorship approach.

This study aims to report changes in care for infants born at 22-24 weeks before and after the introduction of a statewide guideline for extreme prematurity (EP).
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted, including all live births at 22-24 weeks in tertiary perinatal centres from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2022 in Victoria, Australia.

Article Synopsis
- New technology can make mental healthcare better, but patients need to trust their doctors, the organizations, and the technology itself.
- Building trust is complicated; it involves personal relationships, the reputation of healthcare systems, and how reliable the technology is.
- The paper discusses challenges to building this trust, like a patient’s background and understanding of technology, and aims to improve mental healthcare with digital solutions by focusing on trust.
Background: Many clinicians overestimate mortality and disability rates in infants born extremely preterm. We developed a digital tool ('NIC-PREDICT') that predicts infant mortality and survival with and without major disability in infants born 23-27 weeks' gestation.
Aims: To determine if clinicians could use NIC-PREDICT accurately, and if their perceptions of infant outcomes improved after its release in 2021.
