Mental Workload (MWL) can be both good and bad; we can thrive under high MWL, or our performance can drop if the demands become either too low or too high. Similarly, stress is not always bad, short term stress can be beneficial to overcome a challen... Read More about How Stress and Mental Workload are Connected.

Young adults' attitudes to sharing whole-genome sequencing information: a university-based survey (2019)

Background Genomic services are increasingly accessible to young adults starting their independent lives with responsibility for their self-care, yet their attitudes to sharing genomic information remain under-researched. This study explored attitud... Read More about Young adults' attitudes to sharing whole-genome sequencing information: a university-based survey.

The impact of an electronic patient bedside observation and handover system on clinical practice: mixed-methods evaluation (2019)
Journal Article
Lang, A., Simmonds, M., Pinchin, J., Sharples, S., Dunn, L., Clarke, S., …Swinscoe, C. (2019). The impact of an electronic patient bedside observation and handover system on clinical practice: mixed-methods evaluation. JMIR Medical Informatics, 7(1), Article e11678. https://doi.org/10.2196/11678

Background: Patient safety literature has long reported the need for early recognition of deteriorating patients. Early warning scores (EWSs) are commonly implemented as “track and trigger,” or rapid response systems for monitoring and early recognit...
