Shortage Of Family Physicians Troubles States, ERs
"This spring, 385 students graduated from Georgia"s medical schools, but only two of them chose to remain in the state to pursue a family medicine residency," the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. "Overall, 20 students, or 5 percent, chose to go into family medicine - half the number that it was just five years ago." More than one-third of counties in Georgia, "many of them rural, are officially designated as primary-care health professional shortage areas," meaning there is "less than 1 doctor for 3,500 people." According to a recent study from the University of Missouri School of Medicine, "there could be a nationwide shortage of around 44,000 primary-care doctors by the year 2025, due to an aging population and fewer doctors training in primary care."

Opinion: World Must Work Together To Stop Human Trafficking
"To some, human trafficking may seem like a problem limited to other parts of the world," Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton writes in a Washington Post opinion piece, but "it occurs in every country, including the U.S., and we have a responsibility to fight it just as others do." According to Clinton, trafficking can produce "destructive effects" on "all of us," because it "weakens legitimate economies, breaks up families, fuels violence, threatens public health and safety, and shreds the social fabric that is necessary for progress." She writes that the problem is "particularly urgent now, as local economies around the world reel from the global financial crisis."

Study outcomes were presented this week at the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery (SNIS) 6th Annual Meeting in Boca Raton, FL by lead author Pierre Gobin, Professor of Radiology in Neurosurgery and Neurology at the Weill Cornell Medical Center at New York Presbyterian Hospital in New York City.

Trust Supporters Hold Celebration Day For Mental Health Care, UK

Patients, staff and carers who support the work of the county"s leading provider of NHS services to adults with mental ill health, invited the public to join in their first "birthday" celebrations last week. Members of the Somerset Partnership Foundation Trust"s Members Council held the information and advice event at Lyngford House Conference Centre in Taunton. Displays and presentation material was on show and local voluntary organisations participated, each highlighting the many s of advice and information which can help those, either caring for a person with mental ill health or experiencing any form of mental illness themselves. Council Members are ordinary members of the public with an active interest in mental health issues and the NHS services delivered to local people. They act as a "sounding board" for clients, carers and the public regarding local mental health services and advise the Trust"s management of those services clients most value and those which they feel in need of improvement. Partnership Trust Chair, Linda Nash, gave a brief overview of the success of the Members Council this year congratulating them on their work and saying: "It is one year since the Trust"s Members Council was established and so this is really a birthday celebration. Members and Trust supporters have played a vital role as a voice to people with mental ill health, who still remain amongst some of the most vulnerable and excluded people in our community. "I would like to thank you all for your views and reassure and advice throughout the year. These are being used to improve our services and ensure we address the needs of all. Whilst your advice helps develop our strategic health service plans, it is your role as mental health service champions, which is most important. One in four people will be affected by a mental health condition in their lives - most commonly stress anxiety or depression and yet such illness still carry considerable stigma. Mental ill health is not treated like other physical illnesses and this stigma must be addressed. It continues to blight people"s lives and is known to deter many people from seeking professional help at a point when more serious mental ill health could be prevented." If members of the public would like to find out more about the work of the Somerset Partnership NHS Foundation Trust or become a Trust supporter or join the Members Council they should write to the Trust at: Somerset Partnership NHS Foundation Trust
