Journal Article
Green, S. V., Morris, D. E., Naumann, D. N., Rhodes, H. L., Burns, J. K., Roberts, R., …Morris, L. (2023). One size does not fit all: Impact of hand size on ease of use of instruments for minimally invasive surgery. The Surgeon, 21(5), 267-272. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.surge.2022.11.001

Background: Consideration of ergonomic factors is important for the practice of safe and efficient minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Surgeons with smaller glove sizes have previously been reported to have increased difficulties with some minimally in...

Focusing on the UK as a case study, this paper offers a critical discussion of current approaches for skills policy in the context of the increasing spatial imbalances that characterize advanced economies. We outline an integrated framework for regio... Read More about Towards a regional approach for skills policy.

Finding Comfortable Routes for Ambulance Transfers of Newborn Infants
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Partridge, T. J., Morris, D. E., Light, R. A., Leslie, A., Sharkey, D., Crowe, J. A., & McNally, D. S. (2020, July). Finding Comfortable Routes for Ambulance Transfers of Newborn Infants. Presented at 2020 42nd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC) in conjunction with the 43rd Annual Conference of the Canadian Medical and Biological Engineering Society, Montreal, QC, Canada

Early inter-hospital ambulance transport of premature babies is associated with more severe brain injury. The mechanism is unclear, but they are exposed to excessive noise and vibration. Smart-routing may help minimise these exposure levels and poten... Read More about Finding Comfortable Routes for Ambulance Transfers of Newborn Infants.
