  • Education and practice: Using data to improve care
    Ronny Cheung, Department of Paediatrics, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, and Claire Lemer, Evelina Children's Hospital, Guy's and St Thomas’ NHS Trust, look at the role of data in improving the quality of care for children and young people: how they can help to identify a problem, guide design of solutions, and evaluate changes in practice.
    Drs Lemer and Cheung introduce some principles for measurement in the field of quality improvement, and discuss how to use and present data to maximise their value and impact in quality improvement initiatives.

  • Education and practice: Patient involvement in quality improvement
    It is vital to involve children, young people and families in the design, delivery and improvement of their care. Their involvement can range from individuals giving feedback, such as patient stories, to collaborative work including patient groups and communities helping to develop and commission services.
    In this podcast Sophie Robertson, Paediatric Department, Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust, Kate Pryde, Department of Child Health, University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust and Kath Evans, Head of Patient Experience - Maternity, Newborn, Children and Young People, NHS England, discuss the methods of involving patients in care, and how this can lead to meaningful participation and improvement of services.

  • Fetal and Neonatal: Perinatal outcomes for extremely preterm babies in relation to place of birth
    Professor Neil Marlow is the lead author on the EPIcure2 paper published In ADC Fetal and Neonatal. He has led several large studies of the outcome of preterm delivery, including the first EPIcure study which was influential in shaping aspects of current national policy.
    Neil has been Professor of Neonatal Medicine at University College, London, since 2008, having previously been the chair of Neonatal Medicine in Nottingham, and he is a past President of the European Society for Paediatric Research.

  • The cost effectiveness of treating paediatric cancer in low-income and middle-income countries
    There is a long standing perception that treating cancer in children in low and middle income countries is not cost effective and, as a result, there has been less investment in this area than many higher profile counterparts such as HIV and malaria.
    In an innovative and compelling paper, Nickhill Bhakta, Fellow in Haematology/Oncology at St Jude's Lutheran children's hospital, Tennessee, debunks this myth. Basing his model on two common cancers he elegantly demonstrates that the majority of children can easily be treated well within the cost effective criteria set by the WHO.
    In this podcast, he tells ADC Global Health editor Nick Brown that rethinking the approach to this group of largely curable diseases is overdue.

  • Global child health: The past, present and future of malaria vaccines
    Despite advances in prevention, rapid diagnosis and treatment and
    being a focus disease for the Millenium Development Goals, malaria
    continues to claim an unacceptable number of lives.
    The first experiments in malaria vaccinology date back several
    decades. There was excitement on the release of the Colombian Spf66
    vaccine in the 1980s but this was followed by disappointed as the
    trial results did not translate into the expected effictiveness on the
    ground. Since then, molecular advances have seen a new wave of
    candidate vaccines including the RTS.
    In this podcast, ADC's global health editor Nick Brown discusses with Lorenz von Seidlein, an eminent malariologist at Menzies School of Health Research, Australia, the reasons why an effective vaccine has proved so elusive, the range of new candidates and hopes for the future.
