If someone in your family is having to work from home due to COVID-19 it is worth checking out if they are eligible for tax-relief for job expenses.
Things about Paediatricians of the Future...
The RCPCH launched their 'Paediatrician of the Future' document this week, setting out their vision for the future of paediatric training across the UK. Healthcare is changing, and this has been incredibly evident over the last few months. But while COVID-19 has forced innovations at a rapid pace, they were already aware that the paediatrician of the future would face different challenges to those of consultants today.
The Paediatrician of the Future: Delivering really good training, is their guide to the principles for postgraduate paediatric training and how to apply them within local training programmes. This document, written in collaboration with consultants and trainees across the four nations, sets out the College’s vision for the future of training and will form part of the submission to the General Medical Council (GMC) in early 2021.
Their vision for paediatric training explores a more holistic approach to child health, with mental and physical health seen as one alongside an increased focus on prevention and equity. For trainees, there will also be more flexibility with opportunities for out of programme study and an encouragement for trainees to find learning opportunities at every stage.
Things about safeguarding...
An article in the most recent issue of Paediatrics and Child Health discusses the topic of the difficult subject of honour-based violence. Honour-based violence is fundamentally different to domestic violence or other forms of violence against women. Honour-based crimes are violent crimes or other forms of abuse that are carried out in order to protect the so-called ‘honour’ of a family or community. The code of ‘honour’ to which it refers is set by the male relatives of a family, and women who break the rules of the code are punished for bringing shame upon the family. Violence against women and girls includes domestic abuse, rape and sexual offences, human trafficking, female genital mutilation, forced prostitution, child abuse and pornography. It also includes honour-based violence and forced marriage that go hand in hand. Honour-based killings are seen as the most extreme form of honour-based violence, however the degree of abuse and violence that women may be subjected to even without or before being killed can be extreme.
Things about food banks...
