Associate Psychological Practitioners (APPs) in primary care: modelling the impact.

Background: The 'Associate Psychological Practitioner' (APP) is an innovative new role that expands the psychological workforce and addresses the rising demand for mental health services in England, yet the impact of this role on NHS workforce capacity has yet to be modelled.

Aim: We modelled the impact of the APP role in Primary Care in terms of additional capacity to provide mental health care and the impact on General Practitioner (GP) capacity within the sector.

Method: Workforce experts of the NHS Workforce Repository and Planning Tool (WRaPT) team used a modelling tool to determine future state scenarios of APPs working across all Primary Care Networks (PCNs) within a region and the associated change on the baseline workforce.

Predicting the unpredictable: analysing the entropy and spatial distribution of ball movement patterns in field hockey.

Analysing the ball movement patterns of team invasion sports provides practical insight into successful strategies by identifying how and where to move the ball to create goal scoring opportunities. The aim of this study was to analyse the entropy and spatial distribution of ball movement patterns in international field hockey teams. A notational analysis system was developed in SportsCode to analyse 131 matches (n = 57 men, n = 74 women) from the 2019 Pro League tournament.

Capture, analyse, visualise: An exemplar of performance analysis in practice in field hockey.

The goal of performance analysis is to capture the multitude of factors that affect sports strategy, and present them in an informative, interpretable, and accessible format. The aim of this study was to outline a performance analysis process in field hockey that captures, analyses and visualises strategy in layers of detail culminating in the creation of an RStudio Shiny application. Computerised notational analysis systems were developed to capture in-game events and ball tracking data of 74 matches from the Women's Pro League 2019.

Efficacy of ab-interno gelatin microstent implantation in primary and refractory glaucoma.

Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of ab interno gelatin microstent implantation alone and in combination with phacoemulsification for the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP).

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Participants: 141 eyes of 141 patients with any glaucoma subtype, including refractory glaucoma, operated in the Centre Hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM) from 2015-2018.

Identifying and analysing game styles and factors influencing a team's strategy in field hockey.

Characterising a team's game style is a performance analysis approach that captures game events, and groups them into profiles using clustering techniques to identify the consistent (and winning) strategies a team implements. The aim of this study was to identify the game styles of international hockey teams. Video footage from the 2019 Pro League tournament (n = 74 female and n = 57 male matches) were analysed retrospectively using a notational analysis system in SportsCode™.
