Aim This study set out to gain insight into views held by children's nursing students, lecturers and clinically based nurse mentors about interprofessional education (IPE).Method A qualitative research design was undertaken. Small focus groups were held with pre-registration children's nursing students, and semi-structured interviews with university lecturers and clinically based nurse mentors to find out information about their understanding of IPE.Findings Participants not only valued IPE, but they agreed that it had the potential to positively affect the care of children, young people and their families.Conclusion It is important that professionals collaborate to ensure students receive high quality IPE learning experiences.
describe their Darzi fellowship, a year long secondment opportunity in leadership and management for healthcare professionals The importance of effective management and leadership is increasingly accepted in medicine, moving from "the dark side to centre stage."[1] However, few trainees are exposed to formal leadership opportunities. On many courses theory predominates over hands-on experience and reflective practice, and trainees are often observers rather than active participants in management decisions. Some appropriate leadership programmes do exist, however, and increasing numbers of trainees are pursuing these formal learning avenues. One such scheme is the Darzi fellowship, which we completed between 2014 and 2015. The Darzi fellowship acts across multiple health trusts and clinical commissioning groups, which apply to "host" a fellow, and is overseen by the London Leadership Academy. Although based in the capital, applications are accepted from any healthcare professional within the NHS. Jobs are advertised nationally via NHS Jobs and are competitively allocated after interviews at the host organisations. 8. NHS Leadership Academy. [Link]. 9.

be therefore be considered when predicting the development of later skills. There are however other factors which can alter progression of NSAA including behaviour.

This paper describes an audience response process and its supporting systems for use in judged sporting events at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. It consists of a wireless scoreinput system and an inclusive, transparent scoring procedure that leverages group knowledge to optimize collective voting. By educating spectators prior to and during the audience voting process, the eyeVox system not only provides sophisticated spectator feedback, it leads spectators to more informed understanding, and thus better appreciation of the sport and the Olympics.
