    Background: the PELICAN Multidisciplinary Team Total Mesorectal Excision (MDT-TME) Development Programme aimed to improve clinical outcomes for rectal cancer by educating colorectal cancer teams in precision surgery and related aspects of multidisciplinary care. The Programme reached almost all colorectal cancer teams across England. We took the opportunity to assess the impact of participating in this novel team-based Development Programme on the working lives of colorectal cancer team members.Methods: the impact of participating in the programme on team members' self-reported job stress, job satisfaction and team performance was assessed in a pre-post course study. 333/568 (59%) team members, from the 75 multidisciplinary teams who attended the final year of the Programme, completed questionnaires pre-course, and 6-8 weeks post-course.Results: across all team members, the main sources of job satisfaction related to working in multidisciplinary teams; whilst feeling overloaded was the main source of job stress. Surgeons and clinical nurse specialists reported higher levels of job satisfaction than team members who do not provide direct patient care, whilst MDT coordinators reported the lowest levels of job satisfaction and job stress. Both job stress and satisfaction decreased after participating in the Programme for all team members. There was a small improvement in team performance.Conclusions: participation in the Development Programme had a mixed impact on the working lives of team members in the immediate aftermath of attending. The decrease in team members' job stress may reflect the improved knowledge and skills conferred by the Programme. The decrease in job satisfaction may be the consequence of being unable to apply these skills immediately in clinical practice because of a lack of required infrastructure and/or equipment. In addition, whilst the Programme raised awareness of the challenges of teamworking, a greater focus on tackling these issues may have improved working lives furthe

    Learning Robot Skills From Demonstration for Multi-Agent Planning

    No full text
    Programming by Demonstration (PbD) is widely used to simplify the programming of new robot skills. The programmed skills can be sequenced using planning algorithms, enabling robots to perform new tasks. However, even though multi-robot systems are common in the industry, PbD methods have so far focused on single-robot scenarios. The direct deployment of PbD methods to multi-robot systems is not straightforward, since they do not consider the constraint of shared spaces and action synergies between robots. We, therefore, propose generally applicable guidelines for extending current PbD methods to Multi-Agent (MA) systems. We manually introduce a set of constrained movement skills into the skill library, which prevents the planner from scheduling two agents to act on a shared resource at the same time. Our guidelines also propose to use PbD method-specific knowledge, like action classification, to automatically detect and encode parallel actions, so they are only scheduled concurrently. We applied our proposed guidelines to kinesthetic teaching and demonstrations in Virtual Reality and assessed whether they allow non-experts to teach skills for MA tasks in a user study. Results show that our method can correctly encode the MA skill models, leading to 90% and 95% plan feasibility in a MA version of the Tower-of-Hanoi task with agents sharing workspace and an Opening/Closing-Bottle task requiring action synergies. In contrast, current non-MA methods result in plans that are unfeasible or are up to 40% less efficient in plan length
