Introduction of molecular point-of-care testing for SARS-CoV-2 in a triage unit of a large maternity hospital: An evaluation of staff experiences.

Context: Recent advances in the development of rapid SARS-CoV-2 point of care (POC) testing provided an opportunity to aid clinical decision making in front-line healthcare settings. Perspectives of POC COVID-19 screening of pregnant women are under-researched.

Objective: To assess the impact of a SARS-CoV-2 POC testing platform implemented in a busy maternity hospital, with limited isolation capacity, during the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Development of a brief screening method for identification of depression in older adults in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Objectives: To develop a brief, culturally appropriate screening tool for identifying late life depression (LLD), for use by non-specialist clinicians in primary and out-patient care settings in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).

Background: Depressive disorders are a leading contributor to the global health burden. LLD is common and cases will increase as populations' age, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), such as those in SSA.
