The inaugural meeting of a Special Interest Group for Neuroscience in Psychiatry was held at the meeting of the College in Glasgow in 1995, chaired by Professor Stuart Checkley.The following statement has been prepared for the group to announce its existence and stimulate discussion of its aims. The mission of the group will be to promote the application of neuroscience to the core problems of aetiology and treatment in psychiatry. The term neuroscience encapsulates those aspects of anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, genetics and psychology which contribute mutually to an improved understanding of how the brain functions in health and disease.

The symposium ‘What is Macroecology?’ was held in London on 20 June 2012. The event was the inaugural meeting of the Macroecology Special Interest Group of the British Ecological Society and was attended by nearly 100 scientists from 11 countries. The meeting reviewed the recent development of the macroecological agenda. The key themes that emerged were a shift towards more explicit modelling of ecological processes, a growing synthesis across systems and scales, and new opportunities to apply macroecological concepts in other research fields.

Core Set

Objective.The current Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) Core Set was developed in 1997 to identify the outcome measures to be used in JIA clinical trials using statistical and consensus-based techniques, but without patient involvement. The importance of patient/parent input into the research process has increasingly been recognized over the years. An Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) JIA Core Set Working Group was formed to determine whether the outcome domains of the current core set are relevant to those involved or whether the core set domains should be revised.Methods.Twenty-four people from the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe, including patient partners, formed the working group. Guided by the OMERACT Filter 2.0 process, we performed (1) a systematic literature review of outcome domains, (2) a Web-based survey (142 patients, 343 parents), (3) an idea-generation study (120 parents), (4) 4 online discussion boards (24 patients, 20 parents), and (5) a Special Interest Group (SIG) activity at the OMERACT 13 (2016) meeting.Results.A MEDLINE search of outcome domains used in studies of JIA yielded 5956 citations, of which 729 citations underwent full-text review, and identified additional domains to those included in the current JIA Core Set. Qualitative studies on the effect of JIA identified multiple additional domains, including pain and participation. Twenty-one participants in the SIG achieved consensus on the need to revise the entire JIA Core Set.Conclusion.The results of qualitative studies and literature review support the need to expand the JIA Core Set, considering, among other things, additional patient/parent-centered outcomes, clinical data, and imaging data.

This article originates from a contribution made to the inaugural meeting of the College of Occupational Therapists Special Interest Group of Remedial Gardening. It was entitled “A Horticulturist's Eye View of Occupational Therapy”. Having been given such a provocative title the worried speaker's opening remarks sought to remove any hostility the audience may have felt. In print it is perhaps sufficient to say that while remaining totally ignorant of the professional skills of Occupational Therapy, I nevertheless believe I understand its medical and social role, and the philosophy upon which it is based. Indeed I would venture to predict considerably increased social need for Occupational Therapy in the development of our post industrial society.
