Gary Lineker was RIGHT! VAR technology is NOT precise enough to give accurate offside decisions in football, study claims
Jul 20, 2022
Summary
University of Bath research used motion capture technology to assess accuracy
Found participants thought a ball was kicked 132 milliseconds later than it was
Scientists said this could be long enough for players to be in a different location
Therefore the experts said it could potentially change the outcomes of offside

Summary
Last year, I read about a controversial offside event between Brighton and Liverpool, where the spatial analysis looked skewed and almost everyone was questioning why the technology is being used inappropriately.
Technology is changing the way we tell stories. From AI to smartphones, filmmakers are using new tools to embrace a real revolution in craft. We profile two sets of film students from the University of Salford and discover how one camera, the EOS C70, helped them achieve their filmmaking goals and prepare for the future.
In this episode me and my guest Dr Matthew Jones spoke about student life at The University of Salford while studying Biomedical Sciences. We also discussed Dr Jones' education and career path and why he chose to stay in UoS. We also delved into student wellbeing and Dr Jones core values whilst being a lecture. We also touched on the advantages of using AI within Higher Education.
Employer Engagement event at University of Salford
Sep 5, 2023
Summary
Led by Tahmina Hussain, the University of Salford hosted a successful engagement event in collaboration with the Greater Manchester Pathology Network Workforce group at the start of the autumn term.
Aimed at strengthening University ties with the NHS Trusts in the Greater Manchester area, the event provided a platform for academics, employers, and local IBMS members to exchange ideas on improving training and education in biomedical science.
This event brought together key players from clinical pathology labs and the University to discuss how the Biomedical Science program can better align with the needs of employers. Additionally, it aimed to ensure that students and apprentices graduate with the essential skills needed for employment.
The event featured various activities. One of the highlights being visits to the simulation suite and the use of simulation-based learning to teach interprofessional education, fostering skills like communication, teamwork, and leadership among students in biomedical science and nursing. This approach mirrors real-world collaboration between these professionals in healthcare settings, demonstrating their collective contribution to patient care.
These activities and tours of the laboratories offered employers a first-hand look at the campus's training facilities for developing employability skills of students. enrolled in the IBMS accredited Biomedical Science program. To maintain IBMS accreditation, input from employers is vital in keeping the curriculum up-to-date with the profession's evolving needs.
Dr Natalie Ferry, Head of Biomedicine, said: “The Biomedical Science team delivered a fantastic showcase of the really innovative curriculum we are developing here at Salford, I was really pleased to talk to NHS managers, from across the wider Northwest region, who recognised the talent in the team and were excited to be part of co-creating this exciting step-change in training students and getting them work-force ready. Congratulations to Tahmina Hussain and Gareth Richardson for hosting this successful collaborative event.”
Congratulations went out to the IBMS members at both the university of Salford and Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) who scooped both the Educational Institution of the Year and Team of the Year awards at the IBMS awards 2024 in June.
