Coming Soon - our next Profile in Urgent Care will feature Dr Claire Russell.
We learn about Claire's Journey to Urgent Care via Emergency Medicine and Rural General Practice, whilst also pursuing a love of sailing, travel and adventure. We learn how with the right team you can take on the world and how that team might not be what convention or the establishment expects.
Please check out the link here to the trailer for the Movie Documentary - Maiden. This film charts the remarkable journey that Claire was a part of in the 1989 Whitbread around the world race.

Welcome to this week's Urgent Bite. Today we look at a recent open access article in the BMJ that looked at using a scribe to increase throughput and doctors productivity in the Emergency Department. Could these be cost effective in Urgent Care? Would they help you be more efficient? Let us know your thoughts.

Welcome to this week's Urgent Bite. Today I review a book that I have used for a number of years to assist me in managing fractures.
This is a personal review based on my experiences using the book having purchased it myself. No incentive or correspondance has been received from the publishers or authors. This is a book I would recommend to my Urgent Care colleagues to aid in the management of the types of injuries we see in Urgent Care Clinics.
