This work refines surface registration methods for metrological datasets to improve the multi-method qualification accuracy of additively manufactured (AM) lattices. Datasets acquired from X-ray computed tomography and a coordinate measurement machine of an AM lattice were aligned using derived geometry datum features based on a theoretical supplemental surface definition, which has been established in recent draft standards, but has had limited examination using complex AM structures. A refined sampling registration approach for lattice geometry based on spatially-dependent subsampling is derived and shown to statistically decrease variation between measurement sources. This importance of well-defined sampling practice and definition is highlighted. The applicability of this approach for multi-method qualification of complex AM parts is discussed. This work lays the foundation of utilizing specifications under consideration in a new standard with possible verification techniques that can be employed.

Background: Dementia is a progressive and terminal illness. Symptoms are present for people with dementia across all stages, leading to poor quality of life and considerable carer burden. In acute and community care services, no holistic, person-centred outcome tools are available for nurses and informal caregivers to measure symptoms and needs from the person`s with dementia point of view.

Background: Cardiac rehabilitation has been identified as having the most homogenous clinical exercise service structure in the United Kingdom (UK), but inconsistencies are evident in staff roles and qualifications within and across services. The recognition of Clinical Exercise Physiologists (CEPs) as a registered health professional in 2021 in the UK, provides a potential solution to standardise the cardiac rehabilitation workforce. This case study examined, in a purposefully selected cardiac exercise service that employed registered CEPs, (i) how staff knowledge, skills and competencies contribute to the provision of the service, (ii) how these components assist in creating effective service teams, and (iii) the existing challenges from staff and patient perspectives.

Purpose: Clinical exercise delivery in the United Kingdom is disparate in terms of service structure, staff roles and qualifications, therefore it is difficult to evaluate and compare across services. Our aim was to explore, in a purposely selected cancer exercise service that was recognised as effective; (i) how staff knowledge, skills and competencies contribute to the provision of the service, (ii) how these components assist in creating effective services, and (iii) to identify existing challenges from staff and service user perspectives.
Methods: The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research was used as an overarching guide to review the Prehab4Cancer service.

Background: Today we are faced with changes in society and healthcare needs resulting from demographic transition. Among many other developments, the increasing complexity of healthcare creates new requirements for health professionals. To meet these requirements, such as evidence-based practice, professionally experienced therapists need additional training courses to acquire scientific competencies in addition to their professional competence.
