We are all living in a clinical world drowning in clinical guidelines, the pressure to practice evidence based medicine and the battle of staying up to date with that evidence plus run our clinical service, care for families and live our lives. The Archivist has often heard the phrases; ‘Well, those are just guidelines’ , ‘ They have not included this study’, ‘ I am using current evidence’ and ‘ They are not that good quality’ . It is true that guidelines can get out of date quite quickly and some people strongly question the evidence used in some guidelines. So can we trust those guidelines that are out there?

The management of urinary tract infections (UTI) in children has been full of controversy and disagreement. The Archivist remembers the days of the requirements of two micturating cystourethrograms, abdominal X-rays, sometimes intravenous urograms, isotope scanning of the renal tract and recurrent ultrasound of kidney requests. Following up children with 3 monthly urine sample (often by bag urine sample), prophylactic antibiotics up to the age of 5 years of age and the occasional bilateral re-implantation of ureters was the practice of the day. We were in fear that vesico-uroteric reflux (VUR) with recurrent UTIs predisposed to long-term renal disease. The NICE guidelines, in 2007 really caused much discern and debate and changed the way we approached, what was these invasive and unnecessary recommendations for managing urinary tract infections and VUR. This is a common daily dilemma and thankfully we now have a more sensible and evidence based guideline. It still has a... from Arch

Big things and predicting the future We all would like to know what will happen in the future. Well. In some circumstances. For some people. Sometimes. (I personally would like to know where the Leeds Rhinos will finish next season, but less happy about knowing if and when I will become a grandfather.) But this basic idea, knowing the answer to ‘If I do Thing B will L occur?’, is something we all would like to be able to tell our patients. It seems even more prominent a need when the Thing we are about to do is a one-off, major occurrence, like an operation or a bone marrow transplant. If we are ‘just’ giving a medicine, or an ointment, we can stop of change or alter what we are doing more easily.
