Optimising junior doctor rosters is a common subject of debate both in Australia and overseas. While total work hours are recognised to increase the risk of fatigue-related complications for both junior doctors and their patients, patterns of work are less commonly described. Multiple low quality evidence recommendations exist to guide rostering practices to reduce predominantly the risk of fatigue-associated error and burnout, but also to avoid disruptions to continuity of care and provide adequate training opportunities. Given available evidence is poor, further centre and specialty-specific studies are required to delineate optimal rostering patterns for Australian junior doctors.

Postgraduate exposure to oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) for medical and dental graduates differs significantly. To our knowledge, the availability and opportunities provided by these single-qualification posts have not previously been explored. We investigated the number of OMFS posts available for foundation year (FY) doctors and dental core trainees (DCTs) by using information from UK foundation schools and analysing data from Health Education England (HEE) and the UK Foundation Programme Office (UKFPO).

Background: Arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis is a vital diagnostic tool in clinical settings, particularly for assessing oxygenation, ventilation, and acid-base status in critically ill patients. Misinterpretation of ABG can lead to delayed or inappropriate management of critical conditions such as respiratory failure, metabolic disturbances, and sepsis, increasing morbidity and mortality. ABG interpretation is essential for timely and effective clinical decision-making.
