6 days ago | hospitalhealthcare.com | Julie Griffiths

New radiotherapy machines that will deliver up to 27,500 additional treatments per year are being rolled out across England. The Government has paid for linear accelerator (LINAC) machines, which will be rolled out at 28 Trusts from August (see below). Replacing older machines will save as many as 13,000 appointments from being lost to equipment breakdown. The upgraded tech can cut the rounds of radiotherapy needed and, in some cases, halve the number of hospital visits a patient needs to make.

Optimum timing for inhaler use to improve clinical outcomes identified by researchers

1 month ago | hospitalhealthcare.com | Jerome Smail

Timing the use of a commonly prescribed asthma inhaler in the mid-afternoon could lead to improved clinical outcomes, according to new research led by the University of Manchester. The study, published in the journal Thorax, found that a once-daily dose of inhaled beclomethasone was most effective when taken between 3pm and 4pm. The findings suggest that aligning asthma medication with the body’s natural circadian rhythms could enhance its effectiveness without increasing the dose.
