“…This is despite the fact that it remains a contested concept and area of economic activity in terms of definitional issues (Taylor 2007;Townley, Beech, and McKinlay 2009;Cooke and De Propris 2011;Chapain, Clifton, and Comunian 2013) and critique of its broader neo-liberal underpinnings (Garnham 2005;Waitt 2006), as well as a tendency to focus on capital cities or aggregations of data sets (Peck 2005;Waitt 2006). Nevertheless, governments increasingly look towards creative industries for economic growth, amid declines in other traditional sectors such as manufacturing (Richards and Raymond 2000;Bakhshi and McVittie 2009;Alvarez 2010) and in response to the global financial crisis (M€ uller, Rammer, and Truby 2009;Calver, Gold, and Stewart 2013;De Propris 2013).…”

Background Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) consists of a range of increasingly important imaging modalities across a variety of specialties. Despite a variety of accreditation pathways available in the UK, lung POCUS training remains difficult to deliver and accreditation rates remain suboptimal. We describe a multidisciplinary, multi-centre, and multi-pronged approach to lung POCUS education within a region. Methods A survey was conducted in a region. From these results, bottlenecks were identified for improvement. We utilised key stages in an established accreditation pathway, and the Action Learning process. Analysing participant feedback, consensus amongst the team, regional educational needs, and leveraging the expertise within the faculty, we implemented several solutions which were multidisciplinary, multi-centre, and multi-pronged. We also set up a database across several accreditation pathways to facilitate supervision and assessment of rotational trainees. Results Utilising the Action Learning process, we implemented several improvements at elements of the lung ultrasound accreditation pathways. An initial regional survey identified key barriers to accreditation: lack of courses (52%), lack of mentors (93%), and difficulty arranging directly supervised scans (73%). A multidisciplinary team of trainers was assembled. Regular courses were organised and altered based on feedback and anecdotal educational needs within the region. Courses were set up to also facilitate continuing professional development and exchange of knowledge and ideas amongst trainers. The barrier of supervision was removed through the organisation of regular supervision sessions, facilitating up to fifty scans per half day per trainer. We collected feedback from courses and optimised them. Remote mentoring platforms were utilised to encourage asynchronous supervision. A database of trainers was collated to facilitate triggered assessments. These approaches promoted a conducive environment and a commitment to learning. Repeat survey results support this. Conclusion Lung ultrasound accreditation remains a complex educational training pathway. Utilising an education framework, recruiting a multidisciplinary team, ensuring a multi-pronged approach, and fostering a commitment to learning can improve accreditation success.

“…CCI-related innovations may stem from collaborations at the project, organization, community or city levels and beyond. At the project or program level, collaborations may stimulate creative potential among network members (Calver et al , 2013; Daskalaki, 2010). At the organizational level, collaborations with peer companies, universities or high-tech firms can boost technological innovation while connections with professional associations may benefit cultural innovation (Li and Ghirardi, 2019).…”

Purpose This paper aims to understand how cultural and creative industries (CCIs) contribute to regional innovation. Design/methodology/approach This paper explores the process of CCIs contributing to regional innovation and assesses the accumulated outcome of this process. Findings The authors conclude that CCIs contribute to a city’s innovation involving five dimensions (time, space, tangible, intangible and division) and four phases (people, tool, collaboration and brokerage) and the contributions are accumulated into positive innovation outcome; however, a highly developed economy is relatively unsupportive of CCIs contributing to regional innovation. Originality/value The main contributions are that the authors configured the detailed process of CCIs contributing to regional innovation and the authors quantitatively measured the impact of CCIs on regional innovation, using the Porter diamond model and Shannon entropy to construct the CCI index.
