Abstract
PURPOSE Competencies for educators of healthcare professionals are important for demonstrating accountability, defining roles and responsibilities, structuring activities for training and development, defining standards, quality assurance, performance reviews, career development, and promoting the professionalisation of teaching. The frameworks and domains of educator competencies have not previously been reviewed or systematically described. Through this integrative review, the authors sought to identify an inclusive structure for competency domains that may be applied to educators. METHODS Keywords were identified in a pilot search, followed by a multi-database search strategy of records published from 2000 to January 2020 with subsequent backward and forward reference searches. We included all record types that listed or described educator competency domains in medical, nursing and health sciences education. We excluded records that described 'ideal traits' or 'characteristics of good teachers/educators,' presented competencies as part of a larger curricular framework, and teaching assessment tool content. RESULTS The multi-database search retrieved 2942 initial citations. From a full-text review of 301 records, 67 were identified as describing educator competency domains eligible for analysis. Documents contained a median of six domains (interquartile range = 5-7) and 14.9% incorporated at least one overarching element across their domains. Following an inductive thematic analysis, six distinct domains of educator competence were identified: Teaching and facilitating learning; Designing and planning learning; Assessment of learning; Educational research and scholarship; Educational leadership and management; Educational environment, quality, and safety. The two latter domains contained sub-themes that were able to be further categorised. Documents and frameworks were described for a wide variety of health and allied health disciplines. CONCLUSION Distinct educator competency domains were identified in this analysis, applicable across a range of healthcare disciplines. Along with the description of design elements, these provide a guide for the development and evaluation of educator competency frameworks.

Abstract
AIM Pelvic exenteration surgery can improve survival in people with advanced colorectal cancer. This systematic review aimed to review pain intensity and other outcomes, for example the management of pain, the relationship between pain and the extent of surgery and the impact of pain on short-term outcomes. METHOD Electronic databases were searched from inception to 1 May 2021. We included interventional studies of adults with any indication for pelvic exenteration surgery that also reported pain outcomes. Risk of bias was assessed using ROBINS-1. RESULTS The search found 21 studies that reported pain following pelvic exenteration [n = 1317 patients, mean age 58.4 years (SD 4.8)]. Ten studies were judged to be at moderate risk of bias. Before pelvic exenteration, pain was reported by 19%-100% of patients. Five studies used validated measures of pain intensity. No study measured pain at all three time points in the surgical journey. The presence of pain before surgery predicted postoperative adverse pain outcomes, and pain is more likely to be experienced in those who require wider resections, including bone resection. CONCLUSION Considering that pain following pelvic exenteration is commonly described by patients, the literature suggests that this symptom is not being measured and therefore addressed.

Abstract
Objective. The aim of this study was to examine the hypothesis that subcutaneous occipital stimulation influences pain due to occipital neuralgia. Materials and Methods. Between 2001 and 2004 eight patients with intractable occipital neuralgia were referred to our center. Their records were reviewed. Each patient was interviewed over the telephone. They were all offered a trial of stimulation using a percutaneous lead over 1 week. If they achieved 50% pain reduction a permanent lead was implanted. The impact of occipital stimulation was measured by pain score, analgesic requirements, and employment status. Results. Seven proceeded to a permanent stimulator. There was a reduction in the visual analog score postimplantation in five of the seven patients. The total quantity of opiates taken after implantation showed a marked reduction. Of the seven who had a permanent implant two acquired full-time employment. Conclusion. Occipital neuralgia is a useful and reversible treatment for intractable occipital neuralgia.
