Interprofessional education with medical and midwifery students: a prospective evaluation
No full textBackground/Aims Interprofessional working is essential for safe, high-quality obstetric and midwifery care. This study aimed to design, implement and test an interprofessional education activity bringing together two healthcare professions at the University of Southampton to explore opportunities for students' learning and problem solving. Methods A total of 30 student midwives and four rotations of 70 medical students attended a 1-hour facilitated online education activity (four total) and completed an online evaluation. Results Overall, 16 of the 86 students positively evaluated the activities, valuing the chance to learn about each other's profession and sharing knowledge through small group discussions. Conclusions Interprofessional education supports learners through reflective practice to consider differences in professional scope and responsibilities essential in obstetric and midwifery care. Implications for practice Future enhancements to existing curricula could include a year-long clinical case study as well as half-day simulations. Students could present their experiences via an interprofessional case conference at the end of the year.</p
Social XR: The Future of Communication and Collaboration (Dagstuhl Seminar 23482)
No full textWe are rapidly moving towards a hybrid world where communication and collaboration occur in reality, virtuality, and everywhere in-between. But, are current technologies ready for such a shift? Social Extended Reality (XR) systems promise to overcome the limitations of current real-time teleconferencing systems, enabling a better sense of immersion, enhancing the sense of presence, and fostering more successful interpersonal interactions. The possibility for familiar, meaningful, and strategically heightened social interaction in XR has positioned immersive technology as the future of real-time communication and collaboration. This Dagstuhl Seminar gathered academics and practitioners from different disciplines to address the open challenges of immersive interaction including the ethical, legal and societal aspects of possible futures. Participants shared their work through rapid talks and XR demos. The seminar organizers provided provocation talks before small groups convened to discuss three topics over three days: XR design approaches, ethics and values; capturing and modelling; and proxemics, metrics, instrumentation and evaluation. We conclude with a set of grand challenges in the field of social XR in the areas of empathic computing, blended reality, assets and datasets, and survey instruments
An interview with Dr Deborah Kitson: the long campaign for better safeguarding for people with learning disabilities
No full textPurposeThis paper aims to provide a record of the early development of thinking and practice associated with safeguarding adults in the UK.Design/methodology/approachThe paper takes the form of a 1:1 interview betwen the author and Dr Deborah Kitson.FindingsThis interview sheds light on the development of adult safeguarding policy and practice in the UK, particularly how the safeguarding of people with learning disabilities emerged out of early work on the promotion of their rights. It also gives an insight into the work of the Ann Craft Trust, from the pioneering work of Drs Ann Craft and Deborah Kitson to the organisation’s current wide remit in working with organisations and professionals to safeguard adults at risk.Originality/valueThis is an original interview, as commissioned by Dr Jeremy Dixon
Indigenous Representation in New Patterns of Urban Development: A Ngāi Tahu Case Study
No full textUrban environments in New Zealand have commonly reflected grievances and injustices faced by Māori, especially due to a loss of kaitiakitanga (stewardship) of their land. Consequently, Māori throughout New Zealand have experienced a loss of identity and ownership within urban environments. In recent years, planners and developers have begun to recognise the indigenous heritage and character of urban spaces, and incorporate Māori urban design into New Zealand cities.
This research examines the work by the South Island iwi, Ngāi Tahu, to promote their cultural identity within the urban environment in the property development realm within the last 20 years. The present research investigated two case studies: Wigram Skies and Te Whāriki, Ngāi Tahu Property master planned residential developments located in Canterbury.
The research aims to compare and contrast the two urban developments to understand the current processes used to ensure rūnanga engagement and appropriate cultural expression through urban design. It adopts a qualitative and Kaupapa Māori research design. Methods utilised include key informant interviews, a Placecheck checklist, and site and photo journals. These approaches identified that Māori urban design principles are being incorporated into the built form through various physical outcomes and processes which reflect core Māori values. The research highlights that direct and meaningful rūnanga engagement is vital for ensuring cultural integration in urban design. The ‘manawhenua advisory boards’ which were used in both sites facilitated consultation and active participation by rūnanga. The research demonstrates that these boards are beneficial and provides the recommendation that they become standard procedure for future Ngāi Tahu Property projects. The study concludes that there is growing recognition of Ngāi Tahu identity in cities. However, there is still room for improvement despite the progress made to date

A Systematic Realist Review of School-Based Working Memory Training: Understanding Effectiveness, Mechanisms, and Transferability for Improved Academic Performance.
No full textThis systematic realist review project encompasses both quantitative and qualitative research questions. By combining various analysis and synthesis methods, a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms, contextual factors, and strategies influencing the implementation and transferability of working memory training (WMT) interventions will be achieved. Quantitative analysis, including effect size calculation, will be used to assess the overall impact of school based WMT on academic performance. Qualitative framework analysis will adopt the I-PARIHS framework (Harvey & Kitson, 2015) to represent suitable implementation science content
