Blended learning and augmented employability: a multi-stakeholder perspective of the micro-credentialing ecosystem in higher education (2024)
Journal Article

Purpose Proponents of micro-credentials envision them as vehicles for upskilling or re-skilling individuals. The study examines how integrating micro-credentials in the higher education ecosystem enhances employability. It aims to offer insights fro...

A qualitative exploration of the barriers and facilitators to self‐managing multiple long‐term conditions amongst people experiencing socioeconomic deprivation (2024)
Journal Article

Background: Globally, it is estimated that one in three adults live with two or more long‐term conditions (multiple long‐term conditions, MLTCs), that require self‐management. People who experience socioeconomic deprivation face significant health in... Read More about A qualitative exploration of the barriers and facilitators to self‐managing multiple long‐term conditions amongst people experiencing socioeconomic deprivation.

Effectiveness of low dose computed tomography to detect fractures in paediatric suspected physical abuse: a systematic review. (2024)
Journal Article

The skeletal survey X-ray series is the current 'gold standard' when investigating suspected physical abuse (SPA) of children, in addition to a non-contrast computed tomography (CT) brain scan. This systematic literature review synthesised findings o...

Hospital corridors as lived spaces: The reconfiguration of social boundaries during the early stages of the Covid pandemic (2024)
Journal Article

This article explores the meanings and uses of a hospital corridor through 98 diary entries produced by the staff of an English specialist hospital during the early stages of the COVID‐19 pandemic. Drawing on Lefebvre's (1991, The production of space... Read More about Hospital corridors as lived spaces: The reconfiguration of social boundaries during the early stages of the Covid pandemic.

The Increased Dissolution and Oral Absorption of Itraconazole by Nanocrystals with an Endogenous Small-Molecule Surfactant as a Stabilizer (2024)
Journal Article

The aim of this study was to develop cholic-acid-stabilized itraconazole nanosuspensions (ITZ-Nanos) with the objective of enhancing drug dissolution and oral absorption. A laboratory-scale microprecipitation–high-pressure homogenization method was e...

The EBLM Project XII. An eccentric, long-period eclipsing binary with a companion near the hydrogen-burning limit (2024)
Journal Article

In the hunt for Earth-like exoplanets it is crucial to have reliable host star parameters, as they have a direct impact on the accuracy and precision of the inferred parameters for any discovered exoplanet. For stars with masses between 0.35 and 0.5... Read More about The EBLM Project XII. An eccentric, long-period eclipsing binary with a companion near the hydrogen-burning limit.

The EBLM project – XIII. The absolute dynamical masses of the circumbinary planet host TOI-1338/BEBOP-1, and applications to the study of exoplanet atmospheres. (2024)
Journal Article

High-contrast eclipsing binaries with low mass M-dwarf secondaries are precise benchmark stars to build empirical mass-radius relationships for fully convective low-mass ($\rm M_{\star } < 0.35\, M_{\odot }$) dwarf stars. The contributed light... Read More about The EBLM project – XIII. The absolute dynamical masses of the circumbinary planet host TOI-1338/BEBOP-1, and applications to the study of exoplanet atmospheres..

Identifying veterinary surgeons’ barriers to, and potential solutions for, improving antimicrobial stewardship among sheep farmers in Northern Ireland (2024)
Journal Article

Background: In order to improve antimicrobial stewardship (AMS), including changes in antimicrobial prescribing and use, an enhanced understanding is needed of the barriers that veterinary surgeons (vets) encounter to institute such change. Methods:... Read More about Identifying veterinary surgeons’ barriers to, and potential solutions for, improving antimicrobial stewardship among sheep farmers in Northern Ireland.

Filling in the gaps: A grounded theory of the experiences and needs of healthcare staff following a colleague death by suicide in the UK. (2024)
Journal Article

Health-workers are more likely to die by suicide than their counterparts in other occupational groups. The suicide of a staff member can be widely felt by colleagues, leading to complex emotional and cognitive responses. Exposure to suicide heightens...
