Improving competency in safe patient handling practice through online learning beyond the classroom – a longitudinal study (2022)
Journal Article
Webb, J., Hogg, P., Twiste, M., & Correa, E. (2022). Improving competency in safe patient handling practice through online learning beyond the classroom – a longitudinal study. American Journal of Occupational Therapy, 76(2), 7602205160. https://doi.org/10.5014/ajot.2022.044388

Importance Safe patient handling is intrinsic to healthcare provision; yet, educational provision of the skills for this are inconsistently delivered, without evidence that traditional face-to-face training reduces risk. Objective This study asse... Read More about Improving competency in safe patient handling practice through online learning beyond the classroom – a longitudinal study.

Mammography machine compression paddle movement and observer performance analysis (2021)
Thesis
observer performance analysis. (Thesis). University of Salford

Full field digital mammography (FFDM) was introduced into the United Kingdom (UK) as a replacement for screen-film mammography (SFM) in 2005. Since then, individual breast screening centres have begun to report blurred images through local audits. Bl...
