Examining the potential of general practice to support young people with self-harm behaviour: a systematic review and qualitative study (2021)
Thesis
Mughal, F. H. (2021). Examining the potential of general practice to support young people with self-harm behaviour: a systematic review and qualitative study. (Thesis). Keele University

Self-harm in young people is a national priority. General practitioners see young people who self-harm the most often in the National Health Service (NHS), and episodes of self-harm in young people presenting to general practice are rising. General p... Read More about Examining the potential of general practice to support young people with self-harm behaviour: a systematic review and qualitative study.

Investigating the impact of subchondral bone health and activity levels on cartilage repair in the knee (2021)
Thesis
Hopkins, T. (2021). Investigating the impact of subchondral bone health and activity levels on cartilage repair in the knee. (Thesis). Keele University

Damage to the articular cartilage (AC) in the human knee, caused by physical trauma or degenerative disease, represents a common and complex clinical problem. AC has a very limited capacity for self-repair and, once damaged, rarely heals spontaneousl...
