Article Abstract
On the first of July 1998, Frank Dobson, the then Secretary of State for Health, revealed the consultation document 'A First Class Service' (Department of Health (DoH), 1998). This article describes a wound management case study which showed how a first class service was provided for a patient with very severe pressure ulcers and complex medical problems. A multiprofessional approach to her complex and challenging problems was maintained. Evidence-based guidelines for the prevention and management of pressure damage were followed, supported by modern researched-based wound management and pressure relief. In addition, risk management strategies were observed, and provided the basis for planning and evaluating her individualized care.

Olympia Hospital & Research Centre, Trichy, Tamilnadu, India.
Case: Dorsal dislocations of the distal interphalangeal joint with associated volar base fractures of the distal phalanx are complex injuries that pose challenges for achieving stable reduction and restoring optimal joint function. This case report describes the successful management of a 40-year-old male cardiologist who sustained such an injury after a cricket ball trauma. The treatment involved a combined approach of closed reduction, dorsal extension block pinning, and intrafocal pinning of the volar base fracture.

Psychological interventions may make a valuable contribution to recovery following a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and have been advocated for in treatment consensus guidelines. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a more recently developed therapeutic option that may offer an effective approach. Consequently, we developed ACTion mTBI, a 5-session ACT-informed intervention protocol.

North Bristol NHS Trust - Geriatric Medicine, Southmead Hospital, Southmead Road, Bristol BS10 5NB, UK.
Chronic subdural haematoma (cSDH) is a common subtype of traumatic brain injury, typically affecting older people living with frailty and multimorbidity. Until now, no published guideline has existed internationally to guide management, perhaps explaining why the care of the older cSDH patient varies between neurosurgical centres. The Improving Care in Elderly Neurosurgery Initiative guideline is the first guideline dedicated to the care of patients with cSDH across the entire patient pathway, from initial presentation through to rehabilitation and discharge after surgery.
