This issue includes items on telehealth, data, patient safety, cultural safety, burnout, pressure injuries, COVID-19, kidney disease and more. 

Also covered are the latest from BMJ Leader, Health Policy, International Journal for Quality in Health Care, BMJ Quality & Safety, and the latest from the UK’s NICE.
