Café Scientifique Tuesday 5 March 2024 – From ‘student’ to ‘lifesaver’: how understanding identity can help new paramedics

Knowledge Exchange, PG research, Public engagement ballen

At Café Scientifique, you can explore the latest ideas in science and technology in a relaxed setting. Enjoy listening to a short talk before engaging in debate and discussion with our guest speaker and audience

We’ll be joined by Peter Phillips on Tuesday 5 March from 6:30 – 8:00pm.

Paramedics have the worst wellbeing of all healthcare professionals, and the newly-qualified are particularly vulnerable. But it is not necessarily for the obvious reasons of dealing with traumatic events.

Join Bournemouth University’s Peter Phillips, a senior lecturer in paramedic science, to hear how his research about identity among newly qualified paramedics could help make them more resilient.

This event will be held at The Black Cherry in Boscombe, Bournemouth. Although the talks start at 6:30pm, the café will be open early so we encourage you to arrive early for a drink and a bite to eat before the talk starts.

If you have any questions about this event please email the Public Engagement with Research Team: publicengagement@bournemouth.ac.uk

Get involved with Café Sci in May

Are you a Postgraduate Researcher at Bournemouth University? Do you want to share your research with a public audience and improve your communication skills? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you.

RKEDF Evaluation of Engagement workshops coming up in March: book now

Knowledge Exchange, Public engagement, Training Amanda Edwards

Evaluation of Engagement
Mon 18 March, 1-4pm, Talbot Campus

Advanced Evaluation
Tues 19 March, 9am-12pm, Lansdowne Campus

Sign up for a place on these workshops, delivered by Dr Jamie Gallagher, one of the most experienced public engagement trainers in the UK. Jamie has previously provided training sessions for BU researchers in evaluation and communication, which have been extremely well-received by attendees:

‘Informative and highly relevant to research practice’

‘Insightful and useful session’

‘Benefitted from meeting and learning from other people’s experiences. Glad to have the opportunity to do this’.

Evaluation of Engagement

This workshop will highlight what you need to ask yourself, and the public, to ensure you can demonstrate the success of your intervention and capture the long term impact of it.

Successful public engagement can benefit research, researchers and the public – but how do you go about demonstrating this change? This workshop will guide you through the best evaluation processes, showing you when, why and, crucially, how to use evaluation to provide reliable, clear data. It will highlight how to demonstrate success to funders, record impact for the REF, help improve your processes, and give you a better understanding of the people you are connecting with.

To book a place on this workshop, please complete the booking form.

Advanced Evaluation

Taking an in-depth look at evaluation, participants will explore data capture, analysis and reporting. From surveys to focus groups, you will learn how to format powerful questions and report meaningful data. Discover how to develop evaluation plans for even the most complex topics. You will also learn how to write evaluation reports for funders or for the REF. This workshop requires good base knowledge of evaluation, ideally from attending the previous Evaluation of Engagement workshop.

To book a place on this workshop please complete the booking form.

NB: While we recommend you attend both sessions, you may judge the first session on its own as appropriate for your needs. However, as the advanced session will build on the knowledge and skills gained in the first session, we do advise against only attending the second.

If you have any queries about either session, please contact publicengagement@bournemouth.ac.uk.

February’s Café Scientifique: Ancient Britons and their skyscapes

Public engagement ematthews

A packed house joined us at the Black Cherry Café for February’s Café Scientifique event.

They heard from skyscape archaeologist and BU PhD student Pamela Armstrong who spoke about ancient Britons’ relationship with the skies and the stars.

Her research has focused on the first monuments ever built on our landscapes – mounds known as barrows. These communal places made of earth and stone were designed to house the dead, with some theories suggesting that these huge structures were deliberately oriented to the sun, the moon and the stars.

Pamela Armstrong speaking at Cafe Scientifique

Pamela talked about her exploration of barrows across the Cotswolds, mapping their position against stars in the sky that would have been visible from the horizon.

These stars could have acted as useful anchor points for Neolithic communities, with their movement providing a frame of reference for navigation purposes or different times of the year.

The talk was followed by a lively Q&A session, with a range of questions covering topics such as the construction of the barrows and their use, how our night skies have changed over time, the role of women in these ceremonial monuments, and whether similar monuments are found across Europe.

Speaking about why she wanted to take part in the Café Scientifique event, Pamela said:

“One of the things we feel quite strongly about in the skyscape community is simply talking about the work we do. Skyscape archaeology is a relatively new discipline and so we do a lot of outreach.

“It has been fantastic – I was a bit startled when I heard the event was sold out but obviously delighted because that’s what we are here for, to reach as many people as possible. So I was thrilled, and I’ve had very nice responses from people in the audience who seem to have liked it.”

She added: “I hope people will take away a deeper knowledge about skyscapes from the past but also an introduction to the fact that we are all very connected to our sky whether we realise it or not, and I hope they will start looking at the sun, and the moon, and the stars not just from the early Neolithic but for now as well.”

Bournemouth University’s Café Scientifique events take place at the Black Cherry Café in Boscombe on the first Tuesday of the month. The idea is that, over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, people can hear about the latest developments in science and technology.

If you would like to find out more about Café Scientifique, or get involved in sharing your research with the public at future events, read our blog post and register your interest.

Research methods capacity building in Nepal

international, PG research, Public engagement Edwin van Teijlingen

Yesterday, Sunday 14th January, I was invited by Bournemouth University’s former PhD student Dr. Pratik Adhikary to run a three-hour methods session on semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions at the Nepal Injury Research Centre (NIRC). The workshop was based on work normally presented as part of BU’s Doctoral College Researcher Development Programme.

The audience comprised PhD students based at NIRC, as well as at Kathmandu Medical College (KMC), and Nepal’s oldest and largest university, Tribhuvan University. Participants were involved in research into many different research questions, ranging from road traffic accidents to sexual health and the well-being of migrant workers. NIRC was established with funding from the UK National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Global Health Research Programme and it is a partnership between KMC and the University of the West of England, Bristol (UWE).

TV interview in Nepal

international, Public engagement Edwin van Teijlingen

Two days ago Professor Edwin van Teijlingen from BU’s Faculty of Health & Social Sciences was interviewed by the national television channel News24 in Kathmandu, Nepal. His interview covered some more personal questions, including the question how Edwin became involved in research in Nepal two decades ago, followed questions about recent research projects. The latter involved questions about the nearly completed project “The Impact of Federalisation on Nepal’s Health System: A longitudinal Analysis’. This project, launched in 2020 at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, is led by the University of Sheffield, in collaboration with BU, the University of Huddersfield, Canterbury Christ Church University, PHASE Nepal and MMIHS (Manmohan Memorial Institute of Health Sciences). This nearly four-year project is UK-funded by the MRC (Medical Research Council), the Wellcome Trust and DFID (now called the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office [FCDO]) under the Health Systems Research Initiative.

There were also questions about the health and well-being of Nepal’s migrant workers, partly related to a recently finished study on kidney health of migrant workers funded by The Colt Foundation and a new project led by La Isla Network in the United States of America (USA). La Isla Network, Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health (in the USA) , Nepal Development Society and Bournemouth University are leading the first-ever international effort to research and address trafficking among Nepalese labour migrants. The work is funded by a $4 million cooperative agreement awarded by the U.S. Department of State’s Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons, International Programs.

Newspaper coverage in Nepal

international, Public engagement, Publishing Edwin van Teijlingen

One print daily English-language newspaper The Annapurna Express and one online newspaper Gazzabkoo Magazine published articles this week on our project on strengthening the health system in Nepal. The latter used the title ‘Strengthening Health Systems for Better Health‘ and the former opted for the headline ‘Forum on health system strengthening’.

Our interdisciplinary study ‘The impact of federalisation on Nepal’s health system: a longitudinal analysis’ is funded by the UK Health Systems Research Initiative [Grant ref. MR/T023554/1]. In this Nepal Federal Health System Project we study the consequences for the health system of Nepal’s move in 2015 from a centralised political system to a more federal structure of government . This joint project is led by the University of Sheffield in collaboration with Bournemouth University, the University of Huddersfield, Canterbury Christ Church University and two institutions in Nepal, namely MMIHS (Manmohan Memorial Institute of Health Sciences) and PHASE Nepal.

Communication in the aftermath of an NHS staff suicide: New research published today!

Fusion themes, NHS, open accecss, open access, PG research, Public engagement, Publishing, Research Ethics, student research aluce

Prof. Ann Luce (FMC), Ms. Georgia Turner (PhD candidate FST), Ms. Lauren Kennedy (MSc student FST) and Dr. Reece D. Bush-Evans (Lecturer in FST) are pleased to announce the publication of their most recent work in British Medical Journal: Medical Humanities titled, “Quite simply they don’t communicate: a case study of a National Health Service response to staff suicide”. You can access the article here for free.

Workplace suicide can have significant knock-on effects within an organisation, yet research has shown within the healthcare profession, not all staff receive suicide prevention training, and few employers take the time to reflect on the need to change workplace policies or practices following the death of a staff member to suicide. How staff suicide is communicated across an organisation and to family members is important. Effective crisis communication is critical for effective management for a timely and sensitive response to a staff suicide within an organisation. By doing so, workplaces can help to reduce the significant emotional trauma suicide can have on an employee, and support good mental health across its workforce.

This groundbreaking work in the field of suicide prevention is already having an impact. The work was cited by Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee recent report on “Improving Mental Health Services”. Furthermore, the research has served as the underpinning evidence for NHS England’s National Suicide Prevention Toolkit for England, which will be implemented across all NHS Trusts in England. And, with a renewed focus on healthcare suicide, with a specific focus on female nurses, the research served as underpinning evidence for England’s National Suicide Prevention Strategy that was released in September 2023.

The team would like to thank all research participants as this was a difficult project to complete. Further, thanks must also be extended to NHS England for funding, the BU Open Access Fund, and the colleagues across BU who read drafts of the work prior to publication.
