Richards J said that the Committee’s finding under head 5(c) that B’s examination of the patient was not inappropriate and was clinically indicated was untenable. The finding was inconsistent with the only expert evidence before the PCC—namely, that of E, a highly qualified and experienced ENT consultant. Whilst the Committee was a specialist tribunal with medical expertise of its own, there would have to be clear and compelling reasons, which the learned judge said he could not find, for it to reject expert medical evidence of the kind given by E. Second, the finding was inconsistent with parts of B’s own evidence. An appeal by the Council for the Regulation of Health Care Professionals was allowed on the grounds that the decision was unduly lenient and the matter was remitted to the Committee to reach a fresh decision as to penalty.

Sustainable development of public health care in Ukraine, in particular dental care, requires highly qualified specialists with skills in the field of diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of various human diseases. Therefore, improving the quality of training of health care professionals in compliance with the standards of higher education is very important current issue. The Ukrainian Medical Stomatological Academy has created all the necessary conditions for the formation of individual educational trajectory of students of the second (Master’s) level of higher education in the specialty 221 “Dentistry” due to the balance of compulsory and elective educational components in the curriculum “Dentistry”. It contains a large list of elective components created by the UMSA faculty staff at the initiative of the academy and the recommendations of stakeholders, including “Current principles of the diagnosis and treatment of dysontogenetic pathology of the maxillofacial area”, which comprehensively studies the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, current methods of diagnosrics, treatment of diseases of dysontogenetic origin in children; develops skills of making a rational plan of examination of a patient with diseases caused by embryogenetic disorders and the ability to analyze the resulting data; identifies the key symptoms and syndromes of dysontogenetic origin and differential diagnosis with justification and making the diagnosis, principles of comprehensive treatment of patients; contributes in prediction and prevention of complications of these diseases in children. The paper highlights the experience of teaching the elective component of the curriculum “Current principles of the diagnosis and treatment of dysontogenetic pathology of the maxillofacial area” at the Department of Pediatric Oral Surgery of UMSA, which showed the prospects of teaching it to the 5th – year dental students and received positive feedback. This inspired the faculty staff of the Department to continue activities on improving the academic process.

Accent Modification

Hospital reimbursements are linked to patient satisfaction surveys, which are directly related to interpersonal communication between provider and patient. In today’s health care environment, interactions are challenged by diversity — Limited English proficient (LEP) patients, medical interpreters, International Medical Graduate (IMG) physicians, nurses, and support staff. Accent modification training for health care professionals can improve patient satisfaction and reduce adverse events. Surveys were conducted with medical interpreters and trainers of medical interpreting programs to determine the existence and support for communication skills training, particularly accent modification, for interpreters and non-native English speaking medical professionals. Results of preliminary surveys suggest the need for these comprehensive services. 60.8% believed a heavy accent, poor diction, or a different dialect contributed to medical errors or miscommunication by a moderate to significant degree. Communication programs should also include cultural competency training to optimize patient care outcomes. Examples of strategies for training are included.

Healthcare professionals require a thorough understanding of stuttering since they frequently play an important role in the identification and differential diagnosis of stuttering for preschool children. This paper introduces The Preschool Stuttering Screen for Healthcare Professionals (PSSHP) which highlights risk factors identified in the literature as being associated with persistent stuttering. By integrating the results of the checklist with a child’s developmental profile, healthcare professionals can make better-informed, evidence-based decisions for their patients.

Abstract The techniques of performing a tracheostomy has transformed over time. Percutaneous tracheostomy is gaining popularity over open tracheostomy given its advantages and as a result the number of bedside tracheostomies has increased necessitating the need for a Percutaneous Tracheostomy Program. The Percutaneous Tracheostomy Program at the Johns Hopkins Hospital is a comprehensive service that provides care to patients before, during, and after a tracheostomy with a multidisciplinary approach aimed at decreasing complications. Education is provided to patients, families, and health-care professionals who are involved in the management of a tracheostomy. Ongoing prospective data collection serves as a tool for Quality Assurance.
