Learning from electronic prescribing errors: a mixed methods study of junior doctors’ perceptions of training and individualised feedback data by Bryony Dean Franklin, Monsey McLeod, Ann Chu, Arika Kumar, Geraldine Depoorter

“…Potential limitations identified by participants included concern about how the data would be collected and whether it would be truly reflective of their performance.Conclusions Junior doctors would value feedback on their prescribing, and are keen to learn from EP errors, develop their clinical prescribing skills and use the EP interface effectively. We identified preferences for EP technology to enable provision of real-time data in combination with feedback to support learning and potentially reduce prescribing errors.…”

Factors that influence the feasibility and implementation of a complex intervention to improve the treatment of peripheral arterial disease in primary and secondary care: a qualita... by Athanasios Saratzis, Vanessa Lawrence, Ruth Benson, Emma Watson, Prakash Saha, Clair Le Boutillier, Bernadeta Bridgwood

“…Objectives Our aim was to examine the feasibility and implementation of a complex intervention to improve the care of patients with peripheral arterial disease (the LEGS intervention) from the perspective of patients, general practitioners and secondary care clinicians.Design A qualitative study involving semistructured individual interviews with patients and providers to gain an understanding of the feasibility of the LEGS intervention as well the barriers and facilitators to implementation in secondary and primary care.Setting Primary and secondary care settings across two National Health Service Trusts.Participants Twenty-five semistructured telephone interviews were conducted with (1) patients who had received the intervention (n=11), (2) secondary care clinicians responsible for delivering the intervention (n=8) and (3) general practitioners (n=6).Analysis Data were initially analysed using inductive descriptive thematic analysis. …”

Mélange dehydration and melting beneath South Sandwich Islands arc by Yunchao Shu, Sune G. Nielsen, Veronique Le Roux, Danielle Santiago Ramos, Jerzy Blusztajn, Maureen Auro, Phil T. Leat, Tristan J. Horner

“…Abstract Mechanisms regulating material transfer from subducted slabs to arc magmas remain debated, centered on metasomatized mantle wedge interactions versus mélange mobilization at the slab-mantle interface. The South Sandiwch Islands arc offers a unique setting to distinguish between these models due to the significant barium isotope contrast between altered oceanic crust and sediments, the latter displaying unusually light barium isotope compositions compared to the global sediment range. …”
