Blue Wednesday

 

Blue Wednesday – 16th November 2022

Mouth Cancer Action Month

The number of new cases of mouth cancer is on the increase, and in the UK has increased by over half in the last decade alone. Fatality rates are also on the increase with more than 2,300 people in the UK dying from mouth cancer every year. Many of these deaths could be prevented if the cancer was diagnosed early enough. As it is, people with mouth cancer are more likely to die than those having cervical cancer or melanoma skin cancer and yet far fewer people are aware of the signs to look out for.  If mouth cancer is spotted early, the chances of a complete cure are good. 

Mouth Cancer Action Month is a charity run by the Oral Health Foundation. Taking place throughout November, the campaign aims to raise the awareness of mouth cancer and shares the important message of being “mouthaware”. Blue Wednesday takes place on 16th November and focuses on the importance of encouraging self-checks with the simple message: A self-check for mouth cancer takes 45 seconds and can save your life.

BMJ Best Practice

 

BMJ Best Practice subscription

Following trials in different trusts, we’re delighted to confirm that HEE has agreed to add the Comorbidities Manager to the national BMJ Best Practice subscription, initially for 18 months from October 2022 to March 2024.

Comorbidities Manager is designed to inform treatment decision making in scenarios where a patient is admitted with an acute condition but also has one or more chronic conditions. Given the prevalence of comorbidities and the importance of treating the whole patient, we think this will be a valuable addition.

 For clinical staff, educators and trainees there are Two short videos about Comorbidities Manager and some descriptive text have been added to https://www.bmj.com/company/hee/

For all our Junior Doctors take a look at this handy video
