Do deaf people have access to cochlear implantation if they need it?

Cochlear Implants International, Supp 1, March 2013, entitled “Access to Cochlear Implantation”, is available open access to download.

Organised by the American Cochlear Implant Alliance, the supplement brings together the experiences and perspectives of cochlear implant clinicians, educators and advocates from Belgium, China, Japan, the UK, and the US. The papers explore why so many children and adults who could benefit from cochlear implants are not receiving the intervention in their country.

All you need to know about innovation in healthcare!

The process of innovation is a difficult one, and like most change, is often met with resistance leading to slow adoption; these changes need full support from employees and management alike to lead to the improvement of healthcare outcomes.

In the latest issue of the International Journal of Healthcare Management, Dr Susan Hamer et al. propose the top 10 best papers all healthcare managers should familiarise themselves with, and seek to present a theory of innovation which actively considers the dynamic between health professionals and health managers.

Global Links
Over the next three years, the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health is recruiting paediatric registrars and consultants to undertake 6 - 12 month placements in hospitals in east and west Africa. Through this sharing of skills, and the provision of badly needed clinical training to sub-Saharan doctors, we are aiming to improve the quality of care in the countries where it is most needed and build lasting links between the UK and poorly-resourced health institutions overseas.

If you are interested in becoming involved in the college’s international work please contact Peter Nash on peter.nash@rcpch.ac.uk or 0207 092 6016, or visit the Global Links webpage.
