Despite improvements in acute care and management of risk factors, stroke remains the third most common cause of death and the leading cause of disability in the developed world.1 Globally, the absolute number of strokes and stroke-related deaths has increased substantially over the past 3 decades. This upward trend is projected to continue until at least 2046, driven primarily by population growth and ageing.1,2 In the UK, age-standardised rates of stroke incidence and mortality have declined, but the overall burden remains high because of changes in patients’ characteristics as reflected in its persistent impact on public health.

Head and neck cancers arise from the lining or mucosa of the upper aerodigestive tract and are the seventh most common cancer worldwide, and the eighth most common in the UK.1–4 Their incidence…

Anaesthetists provide a vital role in the multidisciplinary management of children who are critically unwell or injured. These patients can present to any hospital providing emergency or walk-in care.

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is among the most commonly performed orthopaedic procedures worldwide. Patients scheduled for TKA often present with limited mobility and moderate to severe pain, posing…
