CentreForum Report
CentreForum has published the
first report of its Commission on children and young people’s mental
health. Key findings include: services turn away, on average, 23% of
children and teenagers referred to them; there is a wide variation in average
waiting times for different service providers; children and young people with
mental health problems are still not always getting the right treatment, at
the right time, in the right place.

The Importance of Personal Best -
Dr. Atul Gawande, surgeon and well-known author, recently had an article published in The New Yorker.
“Personal Best” is his personal account of being coached by a senior surgeon with the objective of honing his surgical skills.
In addition, he also gives a favorable nod to executive coaching for physicians.
Dr. Gawande is an outstanding writer and provocative thinker.
After reading the article, how would you answer the question Dr. Gawande poses at the beginning of the article: Top athletes and singers have coaches. Should you?

Unhappy child, Unhealthy adult
Scientists are now revealing that these stressful childhood experiences have a direct impact on our physical health, through their impact on the developing brain and the immune system.
The question now is how to use this knowledge to improve the nation's health. Should health professionals routinely ask patients about traumatic events in their childhoods? And if so, who should broach the subject, where and when?
Geoff Watts visits a GP practice which is about to trial this novel idea, and looks at the growing body of evidence revealing how adverse childhood experiences contribute to poor health and shorter lives.
