Abstract Background There is a continual need for allied health professionals to maintain an active CPD portfolio for registration. Profession specific postgraduate studies have been shown previously to clinically enhance practice leading to extended scope and leadership roles. It is not well known though if completing an interprofessional, subject specific award has any impact on clinical practice. The aim of this paper was to retrospectively review what the clinical and professional practice impact was from gaining a postgraduate award in Clinical Biomechanics had on alumni’s practice. Methods 25 multidisciplinary alumni from Staffordshire University, Clinical Biomechanics suite of postgraduate awards, responded to a questionnaire designed to review any changes in clinical practice and the impact studying had had for participants. Results Thematic analysis of results highlighted trends in competency development and clinical impact of postgraduate study, indicating professional development and improved confidence in work interprofessional practices. Conclusion This study supports interprofessional cohorts of postgraduate study for a wider subject area, which has shown to enhance the evaluation of specific clinical practice whilst taking on a broader perspective of the topic, developing stronger and wider clinical conclusions.

The Impact

Aims/Background Existing literature in the healthcare setting indicates that individuals enter higher education, particularly postgraduate programmes, to gain in-depth knowledge of a subject area, with a view to improving their career opportunities. Evidence also suggests that, in addition to perceived career enhancement, individuals also report benefits such as personal growth and broadening of perspectives, which have helped their clinical practice. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of postgraduate study on healthcare professionals' academic practice and discuss the potential links to improvements in clinical practice. Method This was a descriptive cross-sectional survey of a convenience sample of graduates from a range of postgraduate healthcare programmes at one UK university. A survey comprising 18 questions was designed to explore perceptions of impact and was distributed to 962 graduates with a response rate of 9.81% (n=98). Results The majority of respondents were doctors (n=54, 55.1%), women (n=59, 60.2%), based within the UK (n=36, 36.7%) and had completed their programme between 2014 and 2016 (n=72, 73.4%). With regards to achievements in professional practice, participants felt more confident in relation to research and evaluating evidence. In relation to impact on clinical practice, improvements in multidisciplinary team working as well as increased confidence emerged as main themes. Conclusions Findings support existing evidence in relation to the importance of postgraduate study, which is able to instil an increased sense of confidence in graduates' ability. This was particularly related to having a better understanding of speciality-related evidence and its application in clinical practice. This is something that previous studies do not seem to have reported and may reflect the multiprofessional nature of many of the postgraduate programmes provided.

Background and objectives. During this time the unit cost of clinical practice in hospitals that practice becomes a vehicle which has not been done calculation costing more Clinical practice based on estimates, propriety and comparison with the cost of clinical practices from other hospitals. The costing is sometimes caused problems. Currently the cost of student practice in teaching hospitals varies between Rp. 300,000 - Rp. 500,000 / person / month. The problem that exists is how the unit cost and how much it costs the right based on unit cost and other considerations that apply to students practice at the Hospital Clinic as a vehicle for clinical practice. The purpose of this study to determine the unit cost and set the cost of professional practice of nurses that will be proposed applicable professional nurses students at Hospital.Method. This research was a descriptive observational study by conducting a case study in the dr. Soewandhi hospital East Java. Calculation of unit cost carried by Activity Based Costing (ABC), costing more to do content analysis after conducting focus group discussions, as well as other considerations.Research result. The results using the ABC method showed that the unit cost to the cost of professional practice nurses in the hospital Dr. Soewandhi Surabaya is Rp. 460,000, - / month / person, while the cost of practice set by the RS Dr. Soewandhi is Rp. 1.200.000, - / month / person. There is a practice of the profession excess costs Rp. 740,000, -. RS Dr. Surabaya Soewandhi practice fees apply without using a standard based on the unit cost accordingly. Some educational institutions felt the cost was very heavy so the impact to the cancellation of the filing of the professional nurses student practice.Conclusions and recommendations. The hospital used a professional students practice nurses should use the standard fees in accordance with needs through precise calculations that the fees charged to students through educational institutions in accordance with the appropriate calculations.Keyword: ABC system - Profession nurses - Fee Practices

The Impact

AbstractA group of psychiatric nurses (N = 15) rated the impact of participation in a one year post-experience training course in behavioural psychotherapy on their personal/family life; professional practice; and professional relationships. Levels of stress associated with different phases of the course were also monitored.Results indicated that the main stresses were associated with re-adjustment of family life over the period of the course and ensuring stability of training placements at the outset of the course. The course fulfilled participants' expectations with regard to improving their clinical practice, and confirmed their view that relationships with psychiatrist colleagues would be unaffected by their participation on the course. Impact on relationships with nurse colleagues was more positive than had been anticipated during the period of the course.

The Impact

IntroductionExtension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (Project ECHO©) is an innovative model for continuing professional development that uses videoconferencing technology to support and train general practitioners remotely. The model has been replicated to a variety of settings and locations for capacity building in healthcare professionals caring for patients with chronic and complex health conditions. Limited research has been conducted so far on the impact of ECHO in the field of concurrent mental health and substance use disorders (ie, concurrent disorders (CDs)). Therefore, this mixed methods study aims to develop a comprehensive understanding of an ECHO programme impact for CD management on nurses’ competency development and clinical practice.Methods and analysisThe proposed mixed methods study, based on a convergent parallel design, will be conducted in the province of Quebec, Canada, to collect, analyse and interpret quantitative (QUAN) and qualitative (QUAL) data from a specific ECHO Program on CDs. In the QUAN component, an observational prospective cohort study will be conducted over a 12-month period. All nurses who participated in the programme between 2018 and 2020 and who consent to research will be recruited to collect data on the extent of their learning and practice outcomes at three time points. Alongside the surveys, nurses will be invited to participate in individual semistructured interviews. In-depth QUAL data will be subjected to a thematic analysis and will assist in exploring how and in which conditions nurses developed and mobilised their competencies in clinical practice. A comparison-of-results strategy will be used in the final integration component of the study.Ethics and disseminationThis study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Université de Montréal Hospital Center (#19.295) and the Université de Montréal Ethics Committee (CERSES-20–017 R). We aim to disseminate the findings through international academic conferences, international peer-reviewed journals and professional media.

Abstract The purpose of this opinion article is to review the impact of the principles and technology of speech science on clinical practice in the area of craniofacial disorders. Current practice relative to (a) speech aerodynamic assessment, (b) computer-assisted single-word speech intelligibility testing, and (c) behavioral management of hypernasal resonance are reviewed. Future directions and/or refinement of each area are also identified. It is suggested that both challenging and rewarding times are in store for clinical researchers in craniofacial disorders.
