    Although not formally recognised in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, awareness about orthorexia is on the rise. The term ‘orthorexia’ was coined in 1998 and means an obsession with proper or ‘healthful’ eating. Although being aware of and concerned with the nutritional quality of the food you eat isn’t a problem in and of itself, people with orthorexia become so fixated on so-called ‘healthy eating’ that they actually damage their own well-being. Without formal diagnostic criteria, it’s difficult to get an estimate on precisely how many people have orthorexia, and whether it’s a stand-alone eating disorder, a type of existing eating disorder like anorexia, or a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Studies have shown that many individuals with orthorexia also have obsessive-compulsive disorder. This web page describes: The signs and symptoms of orthorexia Health implications Treatment

    In response to the ongoing coronavirus situation, the Government has put a call out for businesses who can provide support in the supply of ventilators and ventilator components for the healthcare system.[1] This has been met with a positive reaction from industry, with firms such as Dyson, Smiths Group and an industrial consortium (including Rolls-Royce, Airbus, McLaren, Thales, BAE Systems and Ford) responding to this.[2] Patient Safety Learning has been engaging with key leaders in Parliament, the healthcare system and international colleagues on matters in relation to patient safety during the pandemic. With forthcoming introduction of thousands of new ventilators, we have been collaborating with human factors/ergonomics experts and colleagues regarding the design and development of these.  It’s important that we have ventilators. It’s important that they’re safe.

    Girls and women need effective, safe, and affordable menstrual products. Single-use products are regularly selected by agencies for resource-poor settings; the menstrual cup is a less known alternative. The authors of this study, published in The Lancet, reviewed international studies on menstrual cup leakage, acceptability, and safety and explored menstrual cup availability to inform programmes.

    This is issue 30 of HindSight magazine (a publication about the safety of air traffic management). The theme of this Issue is ‘wellbeing’, which has an undeniable link to safe operations, though this is not often spoken about. This issue coincides with the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors of the articles were considering wellbeing in the context of aviation, and other industries. But the articles touch on topics that are deeply relevant to the pandemic. The spread of the virus and its effect on our everyday lives has brought the biological, psychological, social, environmental, and economic aspects of wellbeing into clear view in a way we have never seen before.

    On 30 March, in response to the UK Government asking for business to provide thousands of ventilators to help tackle the Covid-19 pandemic, Patient Safety Learning published a blog with recommendations to ensure that ventilators are ‘safe in use’ (this means making sure they are as intuitive and easy to use for frontline staff as possible, reducing the potential for error).[1] In that blog, we outlined how we had brought together human factors/ergonomics and clinical experts to discuss the design, development and use of the equipment.

    The Serenity Integrated Mentoring (SIM) model is described as "an innovative mental health workforce transformation model that brings together the police and community mental health services, in order to better support 'high intensity users' of Section 136 of the Mental Health Act (MHA) and public services." The SIM model is part of a 'High Intensity Network' (HIN) approach, which is now live in all south London boroughs. In this hub post, Steve Turner highlights the benefits and risks of this approach and seek your views on it.
