A team beyond my team: establishing a national online neurodisability and community child health educational programme and network - a personal reflection.

The experience of establishing a virtual team and developing a national neurodisability and community online learning platform is discussed. The aim of the article is to advocate for the development of shared practice and communities of learning. Lessons learnt within this specialty forum may have broader relevance that could inform approaches to postgraduate teaching and virtual or online education.

The role of bone shape in determining gender differences in vertebral bone mass.

Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measures of bone mineral density (BMD) in children fail to account for growth because bone depth is unmeasured. While multiple adjustment methods have been proposed using body or bone size, the effect of vertebral shape is relatively unknown. Our study aimed to determine gender differences in vertebral shape and their impact on areal BMD (aBMD).
