Public understanding of antibiotic resistance
No full textAnonymous participants were invited to respond to a series of questions relating to their knowledge of antibiotic resistance. A questionnaire comprising 21 questions was devised using Google Forms to assess public understanding of AR. An online questionnaire was favoured over manual distribution to allow for honest responses and to provide respondents with anonymity. The initial 4 questions sought to gather information relating to the demographics of the participant, a further 9 questions related to personal experience of antibiotics and understanding of correct use/disposal and the remaining 8 questions assessed participant knowledge of the causes and absolute/relative global impact of AR. The majority of the 17 questions relating to AR were multiple choice (13/17) to ensure ready comparison across the cohort and ensure that questions were quick and easy for respondents to answer.
The questionnaire did not ask for participant-identifiable information. Ethical approval was obtained from the central research ethics panel at Bournemouth University prior to the start of the study. The study was conducted according to the principles expressed in the Declaration of Helsinki. A participant information sheet and participant agreement form were included at the start of the questionnaire and a checkbox was used to confirm written participant consent
Freedom of Information and Meta Data request outcomes from Home Office and local authroities in England relating to an examination of bureaucratic Home Office systems relating to mixed immigration-status families, including the use of Section 55 (Borders, Immigration and Citizenship Act, 2009): a mixed methods study.
Full text linkThis is a list of all of the Freedom of Information request outcomes and summary of subsequant meta data requests made under the Freedom of Information Act. It reflects a lack of thorough process by many authorities to keep central logs on some child seperation cases. It also highlights that central social care systems used in England do not have a code that allows children with detained parents to be identified for support. Improvements are required in the formal logging of cases by indivuduals, authorities and national systems relating to immigration detention of family members
Geophysical Data for The Origins and Development of the Verwood-type Pottery Industry
No full textAll raw field geophysical survey data collected as part of a PhD study into the origins and development of the Verwood-type pottery industry in east Dorset and west Hampshire.
The data set covers two sites; one in Crendell, Dorset; the second in Alderholt, Dorset, spread over two land parcels (east and west). The details of these sites can be found within Volume 2 of the PhD

Kearn, O., Welham, K., Pitman, D., Brisbane, M. and Clews, S., 2023. The research data for the PhD Project Building Roman Britons: The Use of Novel Construction Materials in the Development of Roman Bath.
No full textThis study investigates the ceramic building materials (CBM) from the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Roman Baths at Bath, UK. Ceramic building materials from much of Roman Britain are understudied, yet our knowledge of the brick and tile from Bath is not limited solely by a paucity of research, rather than by a lack of synthesis between academic, commercial work, and the study of the Roman Baths itself. This project therefore aimed to create a unified understanding of Roman CBM in the Bath area, bringing together research in Bath and Gloucestershire with novel analyses of the Roman Baths assemblages to develop new understandings of production, procurement and use at the site, local and regional levels.
This has been achieved through two strands of research. A range of previous studies in Bath, Gloucestershire and northwest Wiltshire were collated to investigate diachronic supply of CBM to Roman Bath, particularly through the novel integration of finds of stamped and relief-patterned tiles. A survey of the assemblages at the Roman Baths was conducted, and this material subjected to fabric and chemical analyses with portable energy-dispersive X-Ray fluorescence (pXRF) in order to suggest provenance. These analyses yielded significant results when integrated with regional research. At the site level, two major phases of construction at the Roman Baths have been found to be supplied by the Minety kiln site. This has enabled the redating of the construction of the Spring Reservoir Enclosure to the first century, substantially altering the developmental history of the Roman Baths. At the local and regional levels, it is clear that Minety supplied much of Bath and Cirencester, and was important to distant settlements too. This unified picture therefore indicates that centralised production and routine long-distance transport was key to the supply and procurement of these novel building materials in the area of Bath

An Appreciative Inquiry into Approved Mental Health Professional decision-making at the point of referral for a Mental Health Act assessment
Full text linkIn England and Wales, the Mental Health Act (MHA) 1983 provides a legal framework for psychiatric detention, requiring two medical recommendations from legally defined doctors, and an application from an Approved Mental Health Professional (AMHP). Civil detentions are the result of an assessment process involving all three professionals, not always together. AMHPs make detention decisions but they also make a decision at the point of referral. This qualitative study focused on that early decision made by AMHPs.
Nine AMHPs in one local authority attended four workshops exploring their experience of decision-making at the point of referral for an MHA assessment. The collaborative strengths-based methodology of appreciative inquiry encouraged participants to define the best of their practice, then build on those strengths with service design amendments. Data analysis was completed by participants within the workshops using nominal group technique.
At the point of referral for an MHA assessment participants were optimistic about avoiding detention, changing gears through the analysis and deconstruction of presented risks, and buying time to meet with the person referred and work in a more collaborative, transparent, and person-centred way. Based on my review of the available literature, these qualities are more challenging to achieve in traditional assessment approaches involving three professionals. As such this study highlights how AMHPs are more likely to achieve practice consistent with their values at the point of referral for an MHA assessment. The detention decision was in essence relocated to the assessment completed at the point of referral, and participants wanted to see this early decision valued within the service, creating a triage AMHP role and AMHP s 13.1 report to legitimise interventions that seek to avoid the necessity of an assessment process involving doctors. Participants also wanted a shared pathway to assessment with doctors seeking alternatives to detention, promoting a multi-agency emphasis on less restriction. This is the first study to explore this area of practice, and the rich understanding gained validates the importance of service structures that support this decision, enabling AMHPs to practise in a way that is consistent with their purpose and values
