Summary
A pilot training event for pre-registration pharmacist tutors significantly boosted confidence and practice changes. However, protected time for reflective practice is needed to fully enhance tutor support and standardize training nationally.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy education and training
- Professional development for healthcare educators
Background:
- Concerns exist regarding the quality and consistency of pre-registration pharmacist training.
- A pilot training event was developed by Health Education England North East (HEENE) in 2016 for pre-registration tutors.
- The event aimed to equip new tutors for their role and address training quality issues.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of a pilot training event for pre-registration pharmacist tutors.
- To assess the impact of the training on tutors' confidence and perceived competence.
- To identify areas for improvement in tutor training and support.
Main Methods:
- Quantitative data collected via pre- and post-training questionnaires.
- Questionnaires assessed tutor competence in domains like feedback and reflective practice.
- Qualitative data gathered through interviews with a subset of participants.
Main Results:
- Participants reported increased confidence and positive practice changes post-training.
- No significant improvement was observed in the 'undertaking of reflective practice' domain.
- Lack of protected workplace time for reflective practice was identified as a barrier.
Conclusions:
- The tutor training event was perceived as valuable and effective in meeting its objectives.
- The training has the potential to improve the standardization of pharmacist pre-registration tutor training.
- Addressing external factors, such as allocated time for reflective practice, is crucial for enhancing tutor support.

01:21Pilot and Numeric Relaying
496
Pilot relaying is a type of differential protection used in power systems. It compares electrical quantities at the terminals of equipment via a communication channel instead of direct relay interconnection. This method is essential for transmission lines where the terminals are far apart, typically up to 80 km for lines with 69 to 115 kV ratings. Four types of communication channels are used for pilot relaying:

02:01pre-mRNA Processing
57.6K
In eukaryotic cells, transcripts made by RNA polymerase are modified and processed before exiting the nucleus. Unprocessed RNA is called precursor mRNA or pre-mRNA to distinguish it from mature mRNA.
Once about 20-40 ribonucleotides have been joined together by RNA polymerase, a group of enzymes adds a “cap” to the 5’ end of the growing transcript. In this process, a 5’ phosphate is replaced by modified guanosine that has a methyl group attached to it (7-Methyl...

02:41Chromatin Structure Regulates pre-mRNA Processing
8.3K
In eukaryotic cells, nascent mRNA transcripts need to undergo many post-transcriptional modifications to reach the cell cytoplasm and translate into functional proteins. For a long time, transcription and pre-mRNA processing were considered two independent events that occur sequentially in the cell. However, it has now been well established that transcription and pre-mRNA processing are two simultaneous processes that are precisely regulated inside the cell.

A tracheostomy is a surgical technique that involves making an incision in the neck to provide access to the trachea. It is frequently used in medical conditions such as airway obstruction and prolonged mechanical ventilation. Effective nursing management is crucial for the long-term success of a tracheostomy.
