- The audit aimed to assess and improve the completeness and accuracy of the National Joint Registry (NJR) dataset specifically for elbow arthroplasty surgeries.
- In a two-phase approach, Phase 1 compared NJR data with NHS England Hospital Episode Statistics (HES), identifying thousands of unmatched and inaccurate records, particularly for radial head arthroplasties (RHAs).
- Phase 2 involved collaboration among 142 NHS hospitals to correct and update records, resulting in an improved completeness of the NJR dataset from 63% to 93% and accuracy from 94% to 98%.

Most direct residential aged care is provided by personal care assistants (PCAs), with western societies increasingly relying on culturally diverse aged care workers. In Australia and internationally, studies have reported that the level of training in both instrumental and relational care for PCAs is insufficient and inconsistent. This study evaluated the impact of training program, designed for culturally diverse PCAs and students training to become PCAs.

- Age-related decline in executive control is thought to lead to memory lapses in older adults, but previous lab studies have provided mixed results on this claim.
- A new study with 166 older adults used real-world tasks to examine how age affects prospective memory (PM) through executive function and processing speed.
- Findings revealed that while age was linked to poorer PM performance, especially in time-based tasks, the influence of executive functions was minimal, suggesting other factors like learning and retention might play a larger role.
Objective: To explore advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE) preceptor perspectives including implementation recommendations, barriers, and facilitators to using entrustable professional activity (EPA) assessment in pharmacy experiential education.
Methods: Two 90-min virtual focus group sessions were conducted to elucidate preceptor perspectives on EPA integration into APPEs through semistructured discussion. Preceptors with experience utilizing entrustment-supervision scales with EPAs for assessments for at least 4 APPE learners in the last year were eligible.
