(1) Background. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a substantial global health threat with profound economic implications. Acknowledging the imperative for a One Health (OH) strategy to combat this menace, Belgium introduced an annual national OH report, known as the "BELMAP report," encompassing antimicrobial use (AMU) and AMR, with the first edition completed in 2021. The integration of innovations for the healthcare system demands a meticulously planned process. (2) Methods. We introduced a three-step stakeholder analysis (SA) as a prospective framework for navigating this new report process, fostering complementary collaboration, pinpointing obstacles, suggesting approaches to overcome them, and facilitating national policy development. The SA unfolds in three steps: stakeholders identify and list their relevant activities, assess their positions regarding the BELMAP report, and complete "actor mapping" of national AMR and AMU stakeholders. (3) Results. Stakeholder identification reveals a fragmented landscape of AMR and AMU activities across Belgium. Assessment of stakeholder positions uncovers diverse expectations, collaborative challenges, and resource considerations. "Actor mapping" identifies key stakeholders, emphasizing the importance of high-interest and high-power actors. (4) Conclusions. This SA approach not only provides insights into the present stakeholder landscape in Belgium, it can also serve as a blueprint for other countries in the process of developing OH reports.

Background: Assisted vaginal birth is a lifesaving procedure where health workers use special devices to expedite birth vaginally when some complications emerge, such as due to prolonged labor. When the use of assisted vaginal birth is possible and appropriate, it provides benefits over cesarean section. These benefits include shorter recovery, reduced hospital stays, lower risks of complications, cost savings, and greater likelihood of vaginal birth in future pregnancies.

Background: In home-based hospice care, frontline nurses frequently need to take unscheduled incoming calls while out in the field. This interrupts critical tasks and disrupts patient rapport, potentially lowering care quality for patients. At HCA Hospice in Singapore, the 30 frontline nurses could receive up to 135 calls/day.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the job experiences of early-career social workers with <2 years of experience in hospice and palliative care, examine the expectations of related stakeholders, and propose policy recommendations for the advancement of this field.
Methods: Two focus group interviews were conducted with 10 early-career social workers working in hospice and palliative care settings, and the findings were analyzed using a constant comparative method.
Results: The analysis revealed that while early-career social workers experienced personal growth and a sense of fulfillment in their roles, they also faced various challenges as they adapted to the unique environment and intervention approaches of hospice and palliative care teams.

Background: In healthcare education, virtual reality (VR), simulating real-world situations, is emerging as a tool to improve communication skills, particularly in sensitive scenarios involving patients and caregivers. While promising, VR-based education also poses challenges such as avatar realism, cognitive load, and the need for pedagogical grounding.
Objective: This protocol paper presents the VR-TALKS project, which aims to develop, apply, and evaluate VR scenarios designed to teach healthcare students communication skills in serious illness scenarios.

Background: Engaging students in curriculum development provides valuable insights and promotes alignment with their learning needs. Premedical curricula often overemphasize basic sciences, highlighting the need to incorporate social sciences and earlier patient exposure. This study involved students as key stakeholders in redesigning and evaluating the curriculum's clinical relevance.
