“…Most of the schools/colleges that responded are in Greater London (66.5%) and South East England (21.1%) reflecting the location of QMUL and the contacts developed. Following a presentation of the preliminary results at an RSC conference in June 2021, the survey attracted some responses from other parts of England. Thus, there were smaller numbers of respondents from East England (3.8%), Yorkshire and The Humber (3.8%), South West England (2.2%), West Midlands (1.1%), North West England (1.1%), and the East Midlands (0.5%).…”

There is widespread interest in diversifying and decolonizing the chemistry curricula in higher education. However, this is not reflected in the curricula taught to students prior to coming to university. We describe the results of an online survey of 185 secondary school/college teachers and students (>18 years) and, separately, 79 members of the public (of all ages) in the United Kingdom on their knowledge of historical chemists and scientists. The results of the survey revealed a notable disparity in recognition between White male scientists and scientists from African American and other backgrounds. Almost 90% of the respondents to our online survey said that the contributions of Black, Asian, and minority ethnic (BAME) scientists are not highlighted adequately in the English national curriculum. Furthermore, over 85% of the participants believed that the national curriculum should be revised to include the achievements of underrepresented scientists. We describe how we addressed this by cocreating (with undergraduate students) teacher resources to highlight the contributions of underrepresented scientists and the feedback received. Overall, our research underscores the need for a more inclusive approach to teaching chemistry in secondary schools and colleges. It highlights the demand for a curriculum that recognizes and celebrates the significant contributions made by scientists from diverse backgrounds.

“…This may help alleviate the aforementioned imbalance of resources by facilitating specialist expertise in remote areas. However, this is dependent on the speed of transfer of the video and the image quality [7]. The key aim of this study was to assess the usability and practicality of a novel otological technology, the endoscope-i, by gaining professional opinions on the effectiveness and comprehensiveness of the system when compared to the current standard, the otoscope (full aims are mentioned in the Test Objectives section).…”

Background Our aims were to determine the usability and practicality of the endoscope-i system, a novel mobile attachment for aural endoscopy. This incorporated assessing the ease of use of the endoscope-i for different professionals, and ultimately improving the system by receiving constructive feedback. Objective Our objectives were to assess the ease of the endoscope-i system in conducting an aural examination and to assess its feasibility for integrating its use into clinical practice. We looked to assess its ease, effectiveness, and efficiency; to compare this to current practices with otoscopes; and to determine whether participants perceived the system to be able to produce an image of sufficient quality to make a clinical assessment. Finally, we wanted to assess the usefulness of the current training given for using the system, and we sought to gain feedback for the product from the differing specialists. Methods A formative usability study of the endoscope-i system was conducted with 5 health care professionals. Each session lasted 40 minutes and involved audio/video consent, a hands-on session, a private semistructured interview, and an option to discuss the device with a company representative. Results All participants found the endoscope-i system easy to use. The image quality was perceived to be greater than that achieved by current otoscopes. The ability to record images and view them retrospectively was also seen as a positive. Conclusions This study has not identified any significant issues relating to the design, functionality, or application of the endoscope-i. Participants perceived the system as superior to current options with a directly positive impact on their clinical practice.
