When a patient comes into hospital they expect to be entering a safe environment where health professionals are able to handle any and all emergencies (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), 2007). However, a recent analysis of serious patient events by the National Patient Safety Agency (2007) made for sober reading. The report identified three broad themes that have impacted on patients' safety in the hospital setting:

Immune cells show enormous potential for targeted nanoparticle delivery due to their intrinsic tumor-homing skills. However, the immune cells can internalize the nanoparticles, leading to cellular functional impairments, degradation of the nanoparticles, and delayed release of drugs from the immune cells. To address these issues, this study introduces an approach for the synthesis of freshly derived neutrophils (NUs)-based nanocarriers system where the NUs are surfaced by dialdehyde alginate-coated self-assembled micelles loaded with mitoxantrone (MIT) and indocyanine green (ICG) (i.

For trained individuals such as athletes and musicians, learning often plateaus after extensive training, known as the "ceiling effect." One bottleneck to overcome it is having no prior physical experience with the skill to be learned. Here, we challenge this issue by exposing expert pianists to fast and complex finger movements that cannot be performed voluntarily, using a hand exoskeleton robot that can move individual fingers quickly and independently.

Introduction: Obstetric fistulas are one of the most severe injuries resulting from prolonged, obstructed labor, particularly when timely medical care is unavailable. In Ethiopia, numerous women and girls continue to endure the consequences of obstetric fistula due to contributing factors like early marriage and limited access to skilled healthcare during childbirth. The development of prevention strategies remains challenging, as reports on the knowledge surrounding obstetric fistulas and their causes are inconsistent across the country.

Background: Case-Based Learning (CBL) and Problem-Based Learning (PBL) are popular methods in medical education. However, we do not fully understand how they affect the clinical thinking skills of Assistant General Practitioner (AGP) trainees. This randomised controlled trial aimed to assess the effectiveness of combining CBL and PBL and compare their impact on the clinical thinking skills of AGP trainees with that of traditional lecture-based learning (LBL).

Aims: This paper presents the outcomes and insights gained from the implementation of an Improvement Science program tailored for nursing and midwifery staff within a large local health district in New South Wales. The programme aimed to enhance frontline clinicians' confidence and capability in quality improvement, ultimately improving patient outcomes and safety culture.
Design: Through an explanatory sequential mixed-methods evaluation study, we assessed the programme's effectiveness in building capacity, sustaining practice changes and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
