An exploration of advance care planning education delivered by hospice specialists to care home staff: a cross-sectional UK survey (2025)
Journal Article

Background:
Uptake of advance care planning (planning future care) in care homes remains low. There is a sparsity of research exploring hospice-led advance care planning education delivered to care home staff.
Aims:
To explore and evaluate advance... Read More about An exploration of advance care planning education delivered by hospice specialists to care home staff: a cross-sectional UK survey.

Measuring diaphragmatic excursion using 4-dimensional ultrasound: a feasibility study (2025)
Journal Article

Four-dimensional ultrasound (4DUS) could provide more accurate characterisation of diaphragm function than existing M-mode ultrasound approaches. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of a novel method for tracking diap...

J2.6 Exploring end of life care provision during medical imaging in hospitals: Analysis of survey data from the UK radiography workforce (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Background
Patients receiving end-of-life care often undergo medical imaging examinations in hospitals to inform symptom management and care. Yet little is known about the experiences of the radiography workforce who deliver it. This study aims to...

Approaches to Automatic Classification, Detection and Segmentation of Breast Arterial Calcification Using Deep Learning (2025)
Journal Article

Objective: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of premature death in the United Kingdom with one type, coronary artery disease, killing more than two times as many women as breast cancer. Recently, researchers have noted that breast art... Read More about Approaches to Automatic Classification, Detection and Segmentation of Breast Arterial Calcification Using Deep Learning.
