And this one stings a bit: 💡We’re very good at talking about #interprofessional care. 💡We’re much less good at proving our #education actually delivers it. So maybe the real question is: 👉 Do we actually want to measure impact or are we comfortable measuring things that look good on paper?

Igor Grabovac @grabovacigor.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

The uncomfortable bits: ☑️ Real #impact = #behaviour change in practice ☑️ #Patient centered” is easy to say, hard to measure ☑️ If it’s not case-based and real-world, it’s mostly noise

Igor Grabovac @grabovacigor.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

In our #Delphi study, we asked clinicians, researchers, and patients across Europe: 👉 What would real evaluation look like? Answer: not what we’re currently doing.

Igor Grabovac @grabovacigor.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

#Cancer #care is the ultimate team sport. So why are we still so bad at teaching and measuring interprofessional #teamwork? 🧵 Honest answer? Because we keep #measuring the wrong things. Satisfaction ≠ impact. Liking a course ≠ changing practice.

📣 Take-home message: If we’re serious about autonomy and equity, ACP must be accessible and routine — with training, adapted communication tools & organisational backing. Thanks to our amazing #team and all caregivers sharing their experience 💙 #DisabilityRights #PalliativeCare @meduniwien.ac.at

🔍 Key findings (125 caregivers): Only 1 in 3 had experience with ACP discussions Main barriers: communication challenges, emotional discomfort & lack of time/structures Bright spot: 83% want ACP training There’s motivation, but not enough support yet. #AdvanceCarePlanning #InclusiveHealthcare

The idea started with Felipe Schuch, who is coordinating this global effort. At @meduniwien.ac.at, Sandra Haider and I are leading locally — cohort 2 is enrolled, cohort 1 wraps up next year 🎓 Our study protocol is now published if you’d like to learn more. #AcademicSky #MentalHealthResearch

The project brings together 69 universities across 28 countries (every continent!) to study how diet, sleep, stress management, social support & physical activity influence student mental health worldwide. #GlobalHealth #StudentWellbeing

There is an *association* between eating chips regularly and developing diabetes. The authors acknowledge their study design cannot demonstrate causality. Shall we stop doing food frequency survey research and instead study how to address obesogenic environments? www.theguardian.com/food/2025/au...

Eating chips regularly raises risk of type 2 diabetes by 20%, study finds

Baking, boiling or mashing potatoes raises risk by 5% and replacing with whole grains lowers risk significantly

🩺 Results showed low #infection rates, but higher in the #fosfomycin group. Suggestions are that fosfomycin ought to be used carefully and transitions to transperitoneal biopsies may even further reduce overall infection rates and support #antibiotic #stewardship in the era of rampaging #AMR.

Hot off the presses in #WorldJournalofUrology is our comparison between ciprofloxacin and fosfomycin-trometamol prophylaxis for patients having a transrectal #prostate #biopsy. ➡️ After analysing a retrospective cohort of 913 patients we took a look at the rates of #UTIs with a 30 day follow-up.

Federal forest officials began clearing thousands of acres of forest just outside of Bend, Oregon, where more than 100 people live in R.V.s and cars — a move that one advocacy group called “the largest eviction of a homeless camp in recent history.”
