Article Synopsis
- The study hypothesized that slower medication changes during weekends may lead to longer hospital stays for non-urgent cases.
- Using electronic prescribing data, researchers analyzed emergency admissions over a year, focusing on the switch from intravenous to oral antibiotics and stopping nebulized bronchodilators.
- Results showed fewer medication step-downs on weekends and shorter average stays for patients where these changes happened on weekends, indicating potential weekend bottlenecks in patient management.

Background: The National Schools Fruit Scheme (NSFS) is intended to improve fruit intake in young children by providing free daily fruit at school.
Methods: We used a parentally completed questionnaire for three consecutive years to study fruit intake in young children before, during and after participation in the NSFS compared with a control region.
Results: In 2003, 2004 and 2005, a total of 224, 220 and 179 schools, respectively, were studied with responses from 5,606, 5,111 and 3,382 children for each survey.
