Global challenges, local solutions: evidence-based education for future healthcare

 

90 minute symposium led by Lorainne Tudor Car, LKCMedicine and Kathleen Leedham-Green, Imperial College Medical Education Research Unit

Wednesday 25th November at 09:00 GMT / 17:00 SGT

Register at: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_I_j6EhZTTtKwhTJ78WyDVA

 

As clinicians we are accustomed to practising evidence-based medicine, with the synthesis of evidence and expert guidelines informing our daily practice. How might this thinking translate into educational practice, and what are the potential pitfalls? Without knowing what kind of world our students will be practising medicine in, how can we best prepare them for future healthcare?
This symposium will explore some of the ways in which evidence has been used to both re-enforce and debunk educational practices and the strategies that can be used to synthesise and apply evidence-based education. We will then take a critical look at biomedical conceptions of evidence as applied to the social, behavioural and cognitive sciences and debate strategies for practising evidence-based education in a changing world.

Doctor warning againt smoking on World No Tobacco Day


On 31 May 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the global public health champions celebrated World No Tobacco Day.  The focus of this year’s World No Tobacco Day is on protecting young people from the marketing of big tobacco companies and helping them avoid using tobacco and nicotine. According to WHO, tobacco use kills more than 8 million people around the world each year, a number that is predicted to grow unless anti-tobacco actions are elevated. Tobacco use is the largest preventable cause of death and disease. It causes many types of cancer, as well as heart disease, stroke, lung disease, and other health problems.

 

Associate Professor Aumkhae Sookprasert, Head, Oncology in Internal Medicine, Department of Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Khon Kaen University explains the negative effect of tobacco and encourage people to stop smoking.  In the long term effect, Tar in cigarettes coats the lungs and can cause lung and throat cancer in smokers.  Unfortunately, it is not just smokers who are putting their health at risk. Through what is termed second-hand smoke, or passive smoking, smokers are also harming strangers or their loved ones. Passive smoking occurs when a person who is not smoking breathes in the smoke from people who are smoking. Passive smoking can irritate the eyes and nose and also cause a number of health problems such as heart disease and lung cancer. Tobacco smoke is especially harmful to babies and young children.

 

Each year, the WHO sponsors this awareness day to highlight the health risks of using tobacco and to actions that help reduce smoking and use of other tobacco products.  To stop smoking, you will be able to protect the health of your non-smoking friends and family. The understanding and the commitment that we will continue working shoulder-to-shoulder to help societies break free from the chains of tobacco and nicotine addiction.
