Advice and guidance clinics allow one clinician to seek advice from another using the concept of telemedicine for the provision of real time care, including diagnosis, treatment planning and consulting. While advice and guidance (AAG) is more commonly used in medicine, the service is currently underutilised in dentistry. There is limited evidence regarding the patient outcomes of AAG services and the benefits and drawbacks of this service in dentistry. This paper outlines results from a pilot study implementing AAG clinics at the dental directorate at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust which has been rolled out to give remote specialist advice for patients referred to restorative dentistry, periodontology and sedation and special care. The service has also been rolled out to deliver remote multidisciplinary meetings for the planning and treatment of patients with hypodontia.

Description: Portal vein thromboses (PVTs) are common in patients with cirrhosis and are associated with advanced portal hypertension and mortality. The treatment of PVTs remains a clinical challenge due to limited evidence and competing risks of PVT-associated complications vs bleeding risk of anticoagulation. Significant heterogeneity in PVT phenotype based on anatomic, host, and disease characteristics, and an emerging spectrum of therapeutic options further complicate PVT management.

The doctoral thesis in medicine is a special case, as it is usually started during the course of study and the students have no experience of scientific work. This lack of scientific training is often criticized, and the quality of doctoral theses in medicine is considered low. In order to increase the quality of doctoral theses and the successful completion rate, a structured doctoral programme can provide the appropriate support.

Management and treatment of LGS are challenging, due to associated comorbidities and the treatment resistance of seizures. A panel of five epileptologists reconvened to provide updated guidance and treatment algorithms for LGS, incorporating recent advancements in antiseizure medications (ASMs) and understanding of DEEs.
