Substance misuse contributes directly or indirectly to each of the 5 key targets outlined in the Health of the Nation strategy: coronary heart disease and stroke, cancers, mental illness, HIV/AIDS and accidents. More specifically, the risk factor targets include a 30% reduction in the prevalence of cigarette smoking to no more than 20% in both men and women by the year 2000; a 30% reduction in the proportion of men drinking more than 21 units of alcohol per week and women drinking more than 14 units per week to 18% and 7% respectively, and reduction in the percentage of drug misusers sharing equipment to no more than 5% in the year 2000. The Tomlinson report repeatedly underscores the problems of drug misuse, alcohol problems and mental illness in Inner London. Both these recent reports admit to a 'lack of trained professionals' (p17) and to 'ensuring that professionals ... are adequately and appropriately educated' (p97). Furthermore, Health of the Nation declares that 'Professional bodies in health and social work will continue to design training to promote the early identification of alcohol misuse, and appropriate referral skills' (p16).

“…The third revolution in health‐science education, as in the rest of further and higher education, has been driven by the need to equip students for the information age. Information retrieval and information processing are now seen as core competencies for all clinicians 11–19 . Clinicians are now required to know where to go to find high‐quality information and have the skills to critically appraise information.…”

Exploring the benefits of user education: a review of three case studies

This paper builds on Leslie Morton's vision of enabling users through education and training. It describes three different approaches to mediated training for medical students and clinicians provided by peers, juniors (i.e. medical students) and information specialists (i.e. clinical librarians) and considers the benefits to the participants. The training was provided either on a one-to-one basis or within teams in their work environments (e.g. offices, wards, team meetings). The first two projects (peer tutoring and reverse mentoring) suggest that contextualized training, using intermediaries, provides the direct benefit of cost-effective IT skill development and the indirect benefits deriving from the interactions between the trainers and the target groups. The third project, the outreach librarian study, provides evidence of both direct benefits (i.e. time saved, quality of service, skills acquired, financial savings and improved evidence-based medicine implementation) and indirect, long-term benefits relating to more social issues (e.g. perceptions of the library, clinical teams, job satisfaction and patient interactions). The general conclusion to emerge from this review of case studies is that the concept of educational benefits is very broad and that empirical studies need to look at both obvious and less obvious benefits.

Undergraduate teaching in a day surgery unit: a 2‐year evaluation

et al. 1998

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Medical schools are having to adapt their teaching in response to the reduction in inpatient availability and the increase in outpatient and community care. A surgical course for first clinical-year undergraduate medical students was established in the day surgery unit at King's College School of Medicine and Dentistry in 1995. It was considered desirable because of the shift to day-case surgery, and proved feasible to run (Seabrook et al. 1997a). The course is taken by one-third of the annual intake of 120 students. A formal evaluation was undertaken comprising comparison of student performance in end-of-year clinical and multiple choice examinations and of acceptability to students, teachers and managers. The results showed no significant differences in performance between students who had taken the day-surgery course and those on other surgical attachments. Students' satisfaction with the course was significantly higher on nine individual criteria and lower on four criteria. The teaching was positively viewed by teachers and managers, despite having costs as well as benefits. We conclude that day-surgery centres can be used successfully to teach medical undergraduates. Experience in both inpatient and day-case environments should benefit students by reflecting more closely the reality of current surgical care.
