The looming implementation of the 12 month face to face requirement for NP telehealth lacks transparency, guidance, and fairness, placing both providers and patients in a position of uncertainty.

At a time of cost of living pressures, this policy will drive up out of pocket costs for those who can least afford it.

A revolutionary gel bandage may soon change the way we treat cuts and injuries forever. Scientists have developed a bandage that can heal wounds in seconds, potentially making traditional stitches obsolete. This innovation could transform emergency medicine, surgery, and everyday first aid.

The gel bandage works by forming a protective layer over the wound while simultaneously promoting rapid tissue regeneration. It contains bioactive compounds that accelerate cell growth, close gaps in the skin, and prevent infection. Unlike conventional dressings, it adapts to the shape and depth of the injury, sealing the wound instantly and reducing bleeding.

In clinical tests, patients experienced faster recovery times and minimal scarring, showing the gel’s potential to revolutionise wound care. Its easy application also means that it could be used outside hospitals, offering immediate treatment in accidents or remote locations.

Experts believe this technology could drastically reduce the need for sutures, staples, and prolonged hospital visits. Beyond convenience, it offers better protection against infections and complications, particularly for people with chronic wounds or compromised immune systems.

If widely adopted, this gel bandage could redefine how injuries are treated, combining speed, safety, and healing power. The future of first aid is faster, smarter, and almost instant.
