Frenchay Hospital has long since been established as the center for plastic surgery in Bristol, providing care to the city and its surrounding catchment area. From humble origins in the Second World War when the site took on the role of a large military hospital providing reconstructive surgery for the victims of war to a busy modern-day National Health Service establishment, the plastic surgery unit at Frenchay Hospital has grown and developed through in parallel with the genesis and development of the specialty. Recent centralization of care in Bristol has seen a massive reorganization of services, and with it the closure of Frenchay Hospital. Because the plastic surgery unit establishes a new home at Southmead Hospital, this review documents the foundations of reconstructive surgery in Bristol and the South West United Kingdom.

Trends in Ethnic Disparities in Stroke Care and Long-Term Outcomes.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
School of Life Course and Population Sciences, King's College London, London, United Kingdom.
Importance: Reducing the burden of stroke is a public health priority. While higher stroke incidence among ethnic minority populations (defined in the context of this study as individuals who are not White) is well established, reports on ethnic inequalities in care or outcomes are conflicting and often limited to hospital-admitted patients and short-term outcomes.
Objective: To investigate ethnic differences in stroke care and outcomes up to 5 years after stroke and describe temporal trends and contributory factors.
A qualitative exploration of women's expectations of birth and knowledge of birth interventions following antenatal education.
BMC Pregnancy Childbirth
December 2024
Academic Women's Health Unit, Bristol Medical School, University of Bristol, 5 Tyndall Avenue, Bristol, BS8 1UD, UK.
Background: Expectations of birth, and whether they are met, influence postnatal psychological wellbeing. Intrapartum interventions, for example induction of labour, are increasing due to a changing pregnant population and evolving evidence, which may contribute to a mismatch between expectations and birth experience. NICE recommends antenatal education (ANE) to prepare women for labour and birth, but there is no mandated UK National Health Service (NHS) ANE curriculum.

PLoS One
December 2024
Assistive Robot Center, National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology Research Institute, Obu, Aichi, Japan.
Background: Home-based rehabilitation involves professional rehabilitation care and guidance offered by physical, occupational, and speech therapists to patients in their homes to help them recuperate in a familiar living environment. The effects on the patient's motor function and activities of daily living (ADLs), and caregiver burden for community-dwelling patients are well-documented; however, little is known about the immediate benefits in patients discharged from the hospital. Therefore, we examined the effects of continuous home-based rehabilitation immediately after discharge to patients who received intensive rehabilitation during hospitalization.

J Aging Phys Act
November 2024
Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Nagasaki Rehabilitation Hospital, Nagasaki, Japan.
Background/objectives: There is a notable lack of evidence regarding the long-term effects of rehabilitation services, particularly concerning functional recovery and daily living activities of patients following discharge from convalescent rehabilitation wards. This study aimed to clarify the longitudinal changes in activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living of patients after discharge from a convalescent rehabilitation ward and the association between the use of rehabilitation services and clinical outcomes.
Methods: Patients discharged from Japanese convalescent rehabilitation wards in August 2021 were included.
Cognitive frailty in older adults: examining the impact of frailty criteria on neuropsychological profile, functional outcomes, activity levels, and quality of life.
Eur Geriatr Med
December 2024
Department of Geriatric Medicine, Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Singapore, Singapore.
Purpose: Cognitive frailty (CF) is the co-existence of cognitive impairment and physical frailty without dementia, conferring greater risks of adverse clinical outcomes compared to either condition alone. However, the impact of physical frailty components on cognitive performance remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate CF by determining the neuropsychological profiles, functional outcomes, activity levels, and quality of life across the Fried Frailty Phenotype (FFP) and its components.
