bmj;382/sep22_10/p2151/FAF1faJames Howard Swallow (“Jim”) was born in Yorkshire. He went up to Queens’ College in 1946 and achieved first class honours in medicine. He then went to the Royal London for clinical medicine. After a period as a postgraduate fellow in physiology at the Mayo Clinic in the USA he was appointed as a consultant physician with a specialist interest in gastroenterology in Chelmsford, Essex, in 1965. In Chelmsford he set up one of the country’s first medical academic units in the UK. He was an excellent clinician, extremely perceptive, with a wide experience of other subspecialties. He was brilliant teacher with an amazing memory; doctors who trained with him remember him fondly. He retired in 1990 and attended Braintree College to complete German O and A levels before completing a mathematics degree at the Open University at the age of 77.He was a keen sportsman.

At three high level meetings of the United Nations General Assembly this week, world leaders will re-commit to ending tuberculosis (TB), delivering universal health coverage, and strengthening prevention, preparedness, and response to pandemics. The meetings come at a time when most health related targets of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) are off track1 to meet the 2030 deadline. These include SDG 3.3, which commits to ending the epidemics of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, and neglected tropical diseases, and tackling hepatitis, waterborne diseases, and other communicable diseases.2 At this juncture the targets can only be met on time by adopting a fundamentally different, combined approach to disease elimination.The South East Asia region has the highest incidence of TB in the world. Current incidence would need to be reduced 80% from the baseline,34 and HIV 90% from baseline56 to meet the 2030 targets—these are both unlikely to be met.78 Similarly, elimination of age...

bmj;382/sep22_8/p2190/FAF1faKar Hao Teoh, who was killed in South Africa at the age of 40, was a triple board certified specialist in trauma and orthopaedic surgery and a rising star in the rapidly developing specialty of foot and ankle surgery.In October 2018, Teoh, a British citizen originally from Singapore, was appointed consultant trauma and orthopaedic surgeon at Princess Alexandra Hospital Trust in Harlow, Essex, where in less than five years he made some phenomenal achievements. He specialised in foot and ankle surgery and was the first to use the Vantage total ankle replacement system in the UK. He quickly built a reputation for successful ankle replacements and was attracting referrals from other hospitals.Teoh was passionate about research, writing or coauthoring 66 papers, and he enrolled the trust in a trial looking at whether weight bearing exercise shortly after surgery is safe in people with osteoporotic ankle fractures. His energy and determination...

Iacobucci’s article highlights NHS plans to prepare for the winter and tackle urgent and emergency care (UEC) challenges. The plans fail, however, to confront the impact these measures might have on the already strained workforce.1For several years the NHS has grappled with chronic staffing problems, exacerbated by escalating sickness absence rates among UEC staff. While the UEC delivery plan emphasises the addition of permanent care beds and virtual ward beds to increase capacity,2 it does not elaborate on the staffing of these facilities. The absence of a strategy for recruiting and retaining hospital based healthcare professionals could result in existing staff managing a larger number of patient beds, potentially exacerbating burnout and strain.Between September 2019 and September 2022, the rate of those leaving the paramedic service has seen a significant increase, from 5.9% to 8.1%.2 Additionally, sickness rates among ambulance staff have surged, from 5% in March 2019 to 9%...

A locum consultant in emergency medicine has been struck off the UK medical register for a series of missed diagnoses, one of which led to a preventable death, and for dishonestly altering a patient’s medical records in an effort to conceal his errors.Mohamed El-Sakka missed an “obvious” fracture of the femur, a serious internal bleed with clear and unequivocal symptoms, an injury to the cervical spine after a road crash, and, with fatal consequences, a pulmonary embolism. In all four cases he discharged or sought to discharge the patients from the emergency department at Lincoln County Hospital when they clearly needed further treatment and investigation, a medical practitioners tribunal found.El-Sakka, who worked part time as a medicolegal expert in personal injury cases, was also found to have inadequately examined a patient for a medical report and to have allowed a signed report that contained errors to be sent to the...

World leaders committed to making the world better prepared for a future pandemic on 20 September when the president of the 78th UN General Assembly signed off a formal declaration on pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response.1The meeting in New York, attended by representatives of more than 100 UN countries, was held to demonstrate global commitment to greater collaboration, governance, and investment to prevent, prepare for, and respond to future pandemics.The agreement lays out a series of goals and measures that UN members believe are necessary to make the world better prepared for a pandemic. This was the first time in history that heads of state formally convened to discuss how to prepare for future global health threats.The occasion was a “historic milestone” in the world’s efforts to prevent a repeat of the failed response to covid-19 which has so far caused more than 24 million deaths, said WHO director general...
