Systematic development of a complex intervention: a theory and evidence-based physiotherapist led group intervention to increase physical activity and reduce sedentary behaviour following bariatric surgery (PARIS).

Objectives: To describe the systematic development of a physiotherapist led group behaviour change intervention targeting physical activity and sedentary behaviour in individuals who have undergone bariatric surgery.

Study Design: Intervention development including evidence synthesis, qualitative research and mapping of intervention components, using the 2008 MRC framework for complex interventions.

Methods: We conducted a systematic review to identify the evidence for promising interventions and components to increase physical activity and reduce sedentary behaviour following bariatric surgery.

Impact of indication changes on scoping for European Union Joint Clinical Assessment: scale of the problem and how to address it.

Objectives: The European Union Joint Clinical Assessment (JCA) process aligns with the regulatory process to promote faster patient access. The PICO (population, intervention, comparator, and outcome) scoping for the JCA must occur before the regulatory process concludes. The risk of indication change during this period is one of the concerns for the success of the JCA process.

The recognition and assessment of pain in people with profound intellectual disabilities by nurses: An appreciative inquiry.

Background: Individuals with profound intellectual disabilities are non-verbal and reliant on carers for pain recognition, assessment and management. Pain is a multifaceted and interconnected experience. Assessment tools designed specifically for this population are needed.

Discovering the Current 'State of Play' in Pain Recognition and Assessment for People With Profound Intellectual Disabilities by Nurses: An Appreciative Inquiry Approach.

Background: Pain recognition and assessment in individuals with profound intellectual disabilities are challenging. Exploring effective methods of addressing this is essential. This study aims to discover current nursing practice in this area of care as the first of a four-phased appreciative inquiry study, to inform further research and practice.

Are Advanced Clinical Practitioners perfectly placed to re-report neuroimages to support clinical diagnosis of dementia?

With the ageing population, the prevalence of dementia is increasing worldwide. There is an emphasis on early, timely diagnosis and treatment options for people with a dementia yet wait times from referral to diagnosis have increased. Neuroimaging performed by radiologists is utilised to support dementia diagnosis and some patients will already have a CT scan from a pre-existing condition such as stroke.
