Overseas GP recruitment: comparing international GP training with the UK and ensuring that registration standards and patient safety are maintained

Ambitious overseas recruitment targets have been set by the UK government to help alleviate the current GP shortage. European Economic Area (EEA) doctors can join the UK's GP register under European law. Non-EEA doctors must obtain a Certificate of Eligibility for General Practice Registration (CEGPR), demonstrating equivalence to UK-trained doctors. CEGPR applications can be time-consuming and burdensome. To meet overseas recruitment targets, it is important to facilitate the most efficient route into UK general practice while maintaining registration standards and patient safety.

Políticas públicas, meio ambiente e desenvolvimento local: uma análise a partir do Plano de Manejo na Vila Algodoal (PA)

O presente artigo apresenta um debate sobre políticas públicas associadas ao meio ambiente. Apresenta como objetivos centrais um levantamento do conceito do que são as políticas públicas do ponto de vista da consolidação da mesma como ciência, a revisão do contexto histórico do movimento ambientalista e exemplos de políticas públicas a partir do plano de manejo da APA Algodoal-Maiandeua, no município de Maracanã no Pará. Identifica-se que, apesar da boa iniciativa da proteção socioambiental pela legislação estabelecida pelo plano de manejo observado na APA Algodoal-Maiandeua, tais políticas não vem sendo, de fato, condizentes com o desenvolvimento local, pois ao analisar os indicadores como o da ocupação, do abastecimento de água e do saneamento, os mesmos demonstram que necessitam ser melhorados, haja vista que uma APA deve integrar o desenvolvimento local sustentável. Public policies, environment and local development: an analysis from the management plan in Vila Algodoal (PA, Brazil) ABSTRACT This article presents a debate on public policies associated to the environment. It presents as central objectives a survey of the concept of public policies from the point of view of the consolidation of the same as science, the revision of the historical context of the environmental movement and examples of public policies from the APA Algodoal-Maiandeua management plan, in the municipality of Maracanã do Pará. It is identified that, despite the good initiative of socio-environmental protection by the legislation established by the management plan observed at the APA Algodoal-Maiandeua, these policies are not in fact consistent with local development, since analyzing indicators such as occupation, water supply and sanitation, they demonstrate that they need to be improved, since an APA should integrate sustainable local development. KEYWORDS: Public Policy; Environment; Local Development.

Histochemical Characteristics of Macrophages of Butterfly Splitfin Ameca splendens

The butterfly splitfin (Ameca splendens) is a fish species that belongs to the Goodeidae family. The biology of this species, which is today at risk of extinction in its natural habitats, has not been fully explored. The objective of the present study was to characterize melanomacrophages (MMs) and the melanomacrophage centers (MMCs) that they form, associated with the immunological system of butterfly splitfin. Butterfly splitfin is a potential new model species with a placenta for scientific research. In addition, knowledge about the location and characteristics of MMCs will allow the effective development of a conservation strategy for this species and monitoring of the natural environment. The results of histological analyses show that the immune system of fish aged 1 dph was completely developed. Single MMs were observed in hepatic sinusoids and in head kidney and their agglomerations were noticed in the exocrine pancreas and in the spleen. Hemosiderin was detected in single MMs in the head kidney of fish aged 1 dph, and in the spleen, exocrine pancreas and liver of older fish. Furthermore, histological analyses of older fish revealed the presence of lipofuscin in the head kidney, exocrine pancreas and spleen in melanomacrophages. The localization and size of MMCs may be an indicator of the health status of fish and may be a biomarker of their immune system activation. The obtained results will allow effective monitoring of the populations of this species. Furthermore our results demonstrate the contribution of liver in the iron homeostasis in fish, as evidenced by enhanced deposition of hemosiderin during butterfly splitfin ontogenesis.
