Dr Thato Mosidi never expected to be diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB), despite widely prevalent exposure and very limited infection control measures. The life-threatening diagnosis of primary extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB) came as an even greater shock. inconvenient truth is that, rather than being protected, thousands her healthcare colleagues are at increased risk especially TB. In this viewpoint paper we debunk the held false belief that workers somehow immune disease (TB-proof)...
In most countries worldwide, face coverings used by the public are recommended as source control during COVID-19 pandemic. The dominant narrative has viewed a medical intervention and evaluated their effectiveness from an infection perspective. Face also social practice, so policy implementation to promote uptake should consider sociocultural narratives
Medical and physiotherapy students in tuberculosis (TB)-endemic settings are at high risk of developing occupational TB. Didactic lectures the traditional method for delivering education on topic TB infection control (TB-IC) to undergraduate health science students. The aim this study was toevaluate impact a novel educational package teaching TB-IC TB-endemic setting.

Extended shifts are common in medical practice. This is when doctors required to work continuously for more than 16 h, with little or no rest, often without a maximum limit. These have been part of practice century. Research on the impact fatigue presents compelling evidence that extended increase risk harm patients and practitioners. However, where number limited their workloads not easily reduced, there numerous barriers reform. Some these include perceived lack safer alternatives,...
Most evaluations of clinical leadership development programmes rely on self-assessments. Self-assessments are vulnerable to response-shift bias. Using retrospective then-tests may help avoid this bias.In study, we investigate whether post-programme (retrospective self-assessments) more sensitive change in programme participants than traditional pre-programme pre-tests when paired with post-test self-assessments.17 healthcare professionals participated an 8-month single-centre...
Biomedical scientists have become de facto leaders for their research teams. Theories of expert leadership suggest that the specialist knowledge and credibility these researcher-leaders bring to roles can lead improved performance. Formal development biomedical researchers remains uncommon, it is unclear whether existing programmes achieve individual organisational outcomes. Our study evaluates effectiveness a single centre programme using mixed-methods approach.26 participated in an 8 month...
Although adverse drug reactions resulting from the use of nevirapine (NVP) are well described in adults (estimated frequency 6% - 10%), it has previously been considered less common children (0.3% 1.4%). Stock-outs antiretroviral agents occur frequently South Africa and result interruptions therapy substitutions.To report on a case series paediatric patients who suffered cutaneous to NVP at rates not children.We describe retrospective observational six living with HIV developed...
