The NHS is putting in place a comprehensive programme to learn more effectively from adverse events and near misses, which aims to reduce the burden of the estimated 850,000 adverse events which occur in hospitals each year as well as targeting high risk areas such as medication error.

164 Citations2003Sue Latter, Molly Courtenay
The review highlights that nurse prescribing has generally been evaluated positively to date; however, there are both methodological weaknesses and under-researched issues that point to the need for further research into this important policy initiative.

The occurrence of a particular complication in a diabetic patient is probably dependent on a combination of specific risk factors, many of which are related to, and probably affected by, potentially avoidable factors such as hyperglycaemia, obesity, smoking and hypertension.

The results indicate that weight loss induced by caloric restriction improves insulin sensitivity rather insulin secretory capacity or glucose effectiveness, and all the cardiovascular risk factors but lipoproteic profile, that remains unchanged, probably because of the lower MUFAs consumption.
