Aim: To evaluate the differences, following intervention training, in the knowledge, attitudes, role perception, self-capacity and intention of urology staff to counsel inpatients on smoking cessation.
Design: A descriptive evaluation study of intervention training in counselling on smoking cessation. The study was designed following guidance by the Medical Research Council.
Methods: The evaluation was based on a closed-end questionnaire with four time-point measurements from May 2018-December 2019 (N = 29 at each time-point). A repeated measure within-subjects ANOVA was conducted to explore the variance in participants' attitudes, role perception, self-capacity and intention to counsel patients regarding smoking cessation. Eta squared and Bonferroni post hoc tests were used to interpret the results.
Results: No change was observed in the research variables after theoretical science-based learning of the smoking hazards and the benefits of cessation. A statistically significant difference was found following procedural knowledge based on training, practical experience and skill development.

Division of Psychiatry, University College London, London, England.
Background: An increasing number of older people are experiencing homelessness and memory problems, many of whom are supported in temporary hostel accommodation. This can be a challenge for hostel staff who may not have adequate training and support but who often support those with significant memory impairment in their day-to-day work. The study aimed to investigate the training and support that hostel staff require to meet the needs of older hostel residents experiencing memory and cognitive problems, and thus enhance hostel resident quality of life and well-being, considering what additional knowledge, skills, and support hostel staff need to achieve this.

Background: Doctors' unwillingness to share responsibility acts as a major barrier to interprofessional collaboration (IPC). Educating both doctors and allied health professionals in taking on or relinquishing responsibility could enhance IPC. Yet there is no evidence that these educational efforts increase IPC willingness.
