Forming bonds between molecules and communities through Project M
Calcium carbonate is a compound that is well-recognized and very prevalent in daily life e.g., chalk, mussel shells and limescale. However, scientists still have many questions about its formation mechanisms, the different crystal forms it takes, and how we can control and direct this formation to produce this material with different properties. Project M was a chemistry citizen science project for UK secondary schools exploring the synthesis of …
Conversation Analysis Based Simulation (Cabs): A method for improving communication skills training for healthcare practitioners
BACKGROUND: Actors portraying simulated patients are widely used in communication skills training in healthcare, but debates persist over the authenticity of these interactions. However, healthcare professionals value simulation-based training because of the opportunity to think and react in real time, which alternatives cannot provide. OBJECTIVE: To describe a method for the use of simulation which maximises authenticity by grounding training in…
Avoiding repair, maintaining face: Responding to hard-to-interpret talk from people living with dementia in the acute hospital
When people living with dementia say 'no: Negotiating refusal in the acute hospital setting
A quarter of UK acute hospital beds are occupied by people living with dementia (PLWD). Concerns have been raised by both policy makers and carers about the quality of communication between hospital staff and PLWD. PLWD may experience communication impairments such as word finding difficulties, limited ability to construct coherent narratives and difficulties understanding others. Since much healthcare delivery occurs through talk, healthcare pro…
Should I stay or should I go? How healthcare professionals close encounters with people with dementia in the acute hospital setting
Around a quarter of hospital beds in the UK are occupied by patients living with dementia (PWD), and communication impairments are common across all types of dementia, often exacerbated by the hospital environment. Unsurprisingly, healthcare professionals (HCPs) report particular challenges in caring for this patient group, whilst trying to recognise and value their personhood as per the underpinning ethos of person-centred care. However, whilst …
