Work-based assessments are ubiquitous in postgraduate medical training in the UK. This article discusses the variety of these assessments and explores barriers to their use and solutions for improving the educational value of these tools for adult learners. The focus should be on feedback and learning rather than assessment, and this may promote discussion of more challenging scenarios where the opportunity for learning is greater. Mobile devices may help reduce the administrative, geographical and time constraints of completing work-based assessments.

Background: Interviewers' judgements play a critical role in competency-based assessments for selection such as the multiple-mini-interview (MMI). Much of the published research focuses on the psychometrics of selection and the impact of rater subjectivity. Within the context of selecting for entry into specialty postgraduate training, we used an interpretivist and socio-constructivist approach to explore how and why interviewers make judgments in high stakes selection settings whilst taking part in an MMI.

This paper addresses the complementarity and potential disparities between single-molecule and ensemble-average approaches to probe the binding mechanism of oligopeptides on inorganic solids. Specifically, we explore the peptide/gold interface owing to its significance in various topics and its suitability to perform experiments both in model and real conditions. Experimental results show that the studied peptide adopts a lying configuration upon adsorption on the gold surface and interacts through its peptidic links and deprotonated thiolate extremities, in agreement with theoretical predictions.

Introduction: Nursing care is complex and critical, emphasizing the importance of standardized communication methods for conveying health information. Nurses working different shifts exchange treatment details and patient information during shift handover. By utilizing the SBAR method for shift handover, nurses can ensure that the receiving nurse has a comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition.
