A Critical Examination of a New Care Postnatal Depression Care Pathway: Developing Collaborative Research
No full textA community of practice: a case study exploring safety and quality through professional leadership
No full textThis research reports an emerging Community of Practice (CoP), informing how knowledge, understanding and learning were shared through professional leaders using stories to influence change and improve the safety and quality of services. The research focused on generating knowledge and dramatising leadership experiences in integrated community health and social care services. A case study design and multiple qualitative data collection methods were used. The analysis of all data sources revealed rich descriptions with several emerging features including: a) Constructing and sharing a meaning for professional leadership through partnership working to foster cross organisational learning. b) Creating an entrepreneurial identity through contextualising new knowledge and skills c) Developing skills and confidence to be instrumental in progressing the safety and quality agenda d) Using storytelling, sharing anecdotes to dramatise experiences and encourage debate creating shared meanings within the Community of Practice e) The Community of Practice created a forum for learning through generating professional capital by sharing experiential knowledge. The theory practice gap has been closed through professional practice and leadership discourse, developing new knowledge to lead and empower practitioners. In doing so it has widened the debate regarding the professional leadership structure in operation and questioned the need to reshape the context in which professional leaders act and are able to influence the safety and quality of services. Professional leaders should have continual investment as a resource to impact on safety and quality improvements, service developments and managing change. Communities of Practice should be acknowledged and established as an opportunity to generate collective knowledge and influence organisational development and change. Storytelling and narrative can be used as a recognised methodology for sharing specific experiences in order to reflect, contextualise and provide the language required to influence the wider organisational strategic direction. A recognised programme of further research should be considered

Economic Impact of Striped Bass Angler Visitation at Lewis Smith Lake, Alabama
Full text linkRecreational fishing for black bass (largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides and Alabama bass M. henshalli) and stocked striped bass Morone saxatilis are popular activities at Lewis Smith Lake, Alabama. The objective of the study was to estimating the value of the striped bass fishery to local cities, counties, and Alabama through expenditures, tax revenue, and consumer surplus. An on-site survey estimated angling effort at 233,756 hours (standard error, 16,968 hours), with 66% of effort targeting black bass and 23% for striped bass. Annual aggregated expenditures were 101 per angler day in 2010. The cost-benefit analysis revealed that for every 2 and 8 and $12 in tax revenue for the State of Alabama, including local governments. An independent telephone survey of striped bass anglers appeared to over-estimate the effort and value of the striped bass fishery potentially due to sampling a non-representative sample. Since stocking striped bass at current rates has no significant biological impact to the other sport fishes and costs are more than covered by angler expenditures and tax revenue at Lewis Smith Lake, current stocking rates should be continued to meet the demands of the anglers and support the local economy
