Regaining creativity in science: insights from conversation.

The 'early modern' (Renaissance) workshop was predicated on the idea that informal, open-ended cooperation enables participants to experience difference and develop new insights, which can lead to new ways of thinking and doing. This paper presents the insights that emerged from a conversation event that brought wide-ranging voices together from different domains in science, and across the arts and industry, to consider science leadership as we look to the future in a time of interlocking crises. The core theme identified was a need to regain creativity in science; in the methods of scientific endeavours, in the way science is produced and communicated, and in how science is experienced in society.

Surgical Performance Anxiety and Wellbeing Among Surgeons: A Cross-sectional Study in the United Kingdom.

Objective: This national cross-sectional study aims to establish the prevalence and potential impact of performance anxiety among surgeons and investigate its association with psychological traits and wellbeing.

Summary And Background Data: Despite a growing awareness that human factors, non-technical skills and wellbeing in healthcare affect patient outcomes, an area that has remained unexplored is surgical performance anxiety (SPA).

Methods: A prospectively registered, cross-sectional study using mixed methods was conducted across the United Kingdom.

Cross-disciplinary perspectives on the transition to remote education.

The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted the cancellation of clinical attachments and face-to-face teaching at medical schools across the world. Experiential learning-through simulation or direct patient contact-is essential for the development of clinical skills and procedural knowledge. Adapting this type of teaching for remote delivery is a major challenge for undergraduate medical education.

Homeless Shelter Flows in Calgary and the Potential Impact of COVID-19.

Social distancing and self-isolation are two of the key responses asked of citizens during a pandemic. For people without a home, this advice is rather more difficult to follow. In this article, we use daily data describing the movements of 36,855 unique individuals who used emergency homeless shelters in Calgary over the period 1 January 2014-31 December 2019.

Qualitative evaluation of asthma services for young people: a sequential simulation study.

Background: Asthma is the most common chronic disease of childhood and an important preventable cause of mortality in children and young people (CYP). Few studies have brought together CYP and health professionals to understand the patient perspective of routine asthma care. We sought to explore how young people engage with routine asthma care in North West London through sequential simulation.

Taking the Pressure Off the Patient - Understanding Digital Rectal Examinations on a Real Subject.

Unlabelled: Better understanding of palpation techniques during unsighted physical examinations has mostly been limited to qualitative and quantitative studies of performance of experts whilst conducting examinations on plastic benchtop models. However, little is known about their performance when conducting such examinations on real subjects.

Objective: The aim of this paper is to better understand palpation techniques of experts whilst conducting a Digital Rectal Examination on a real subject.
