Nurse, Andrew. "An investigation into the nature of individual and organisational capability and their linkage : how the competence of an NHS hospital is enacted through patient-care related actions and use of organisational artefacts by its doctors." Thesis, Kingston University, 2011. http://eprints.kingston.ac.uk/21837/.

Full text

Abstract:

The words 'competence' and 'capability' are used independently by the human resource managment and the strategy communities who relate the terms to people and organisations respectively. However, the linkage between the individual and organisational level is not well documented. A better understanding of this link is important in being able to understand how organisational and individual performance may be improved but also why things sometimes go wrong. This research based case study is to identify the linkage between individual and organisation capability through an examination of patient ca

Abstract:

Older people resident in care homes are amongst the most vulnerable and dependent in any society. This study aimed to explore perspectives on decision making in a care home in the United Kingdom (UK), considering the appropriateness of who made the decisions, how and under what authority. It used grounded theory methodology in a case study framework, in a single care home. Field work was conducted between December 2009 and January 2011 in an inner metropolitan area. Participants were twenty one residents, eight relatives, five registered nurses and six care workers. Data were collected using;

Abstract:

Volunteer mentoring (befriending and peer support) is provided across a wide range of services for people with varying health conditions. Despite such services for carers of people with dementia increasing in number, there is little evidence for the benefits they may offer. Using a pragmatic approach, this thesis investigated the impact of volunteer mentoring on carers. It also explored the processes by which volunteer mentoring works and the experiences of volunteers delivering the interventions, many of whom are former carers.

Abstract:

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is a peripheral neuropathy presenting with distal weakness and sensory loss. This thesis examines the role that proximal activity plays in compensating for distal weakness to maintain functional walking. Comparative 3D gait analysis showed reduced range of ankle motion kinetics in people with CMT. Additionally, swing phase hip flexion increased, moments and power around the knee altered during preswing and trunk motion increased. These changes were related to the degree of distal weakness. Proximal adaptations were also observed in healthy control subjects fol

Abstract:

The role of community pharmacy (CP) in health promotion has developed over the last decade and a half following the introduction of the new National Health Service (NHS) plan in 2000. CPs have been turned into healthy living centres where individuals can access a variety of services designed to prevent disease and promote health. In 2005, three types of pharmacy service were introduced; essential, advanced and enhanced (currently known as locally commissioned). Enhanced pharmacy services were provided by Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) (until 2010) based on local needs identified by PCTs. In 2010,

Thakur, Sapna. "Assessment of protease activity in endothelial cells and its role in tumour angiogenesis and spread." Thesis, Kingston University, 2006. http://eprints.kingston.ac.uk/20381/.

Full text

Abstract:

Angiogenesis is essential for the growth of a tumour, as it provides tumour cells with nutrients and oxygen for their survival. As the tumour expands, neovascularisation is facilitated by the release of enzymes called proteases, which degrade extracellular matrix and facilitate the metastatic spread of cancer. TNF[alpha] and IL-1[beta] are potent cytokines that share the ability to stimulate angiogenesis, hence their possible significance in metastasis has been a focus of intense research. TNF[alpha] and IL-1[beta] have been shown to regulate the activity of proteases such as MMP's and serine

Jones, Simon Andrew. "Prediction of demand for emergency care in an acute hospital." Thesis, Kingston University, 2005. http://eprints.kingston.ac.uk/20739/.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis describes some models that attempt to forecast the number of occupied beds due to emergency admissions each day in an acute general hospital. Hospital bed managers have two conflicting demands: they must not only ensure that at all times they have sufficient empty beds to cope with possible emergency admissions but they must fill as many empty beds as possible with people on the waiting list. This model is important as it could help balance these two conflicting demands. The research is based on data from a district general and a postgraduate teaching hospital in South East London.

The diagnostic radiography curriculum and the process of its enactment are under researched in the United Kingdom. To date, there have been no published studies which have investigated the curriculum and the role of radiography educators from the multiple perspectives of radiography students, university radiography educators and clinical radiography educators, that is, a radiography education community. Accordingly, this study describes the perceptions and experiences of a radiography education community in relation to three research questions: 1. How does a radiography education community con

Abstract:

Accurate detection and segmentation of intracranial aneurysms plays an important role in diagnosing and reducing the incidence of subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) which is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. This research proposes a computer aided detection (CAD) and segmentation (CAS) of intracranial aneurysm in computer tomography angiography (CTA). The efficiency of the CAD/CAS system is boosted by pre-processing the input image with non-linear diffusion to smooth the CTA data while preserving the edges. A 3D region growing-based approach is used to extract the cerebral art

Abstract:

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is an obstruction within the pulmonary arterial tree and in the majority of cases arises from a thrombosis that has travelled to the lungs via the venous system. Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a fatal condition which affects all age groups and is the third most common cause of death in the US. Computed tomographic angiography (CTA) imaging has recently emerged as an accurate method in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism. Each CTA scan contains hundreds of CT images, so the accuracy and efficiency of interpreting such a large image data set is complicated due to various PE l

Coronary artery disease is one of the most pernicious diseases around the world and early identification of vascular disease can help to reduce morbidity and mortality. Assessment of the degree of vascular obstruction, or stenosis, is critical for classifying the risks of the future vascular events. Automatic detection and quantification of stenosis are important in assessing coronary artery disease from medical imagery, especially for disease progression. Important factors affecting the reproducability and robustness of accuarate quantification arise from the partial volume effect and other n

This study is an exploration of student education and training choice-making in the Allied Health Professions (AHPs). Rejecting the dominant and ‘official’ government discourse, educational choice-making in the AHPs is constructed as a form of social practice, derived from individual agency, but also the effects of institutional and social structures. Engaging with the work of Pierre Bourdieu, in particular the application of his conceptual tools of habitus, capital and field, I have ‘borrowed’ from his unique methodological approach to engage a number of inter-related stages of exploration in
