Our goal was to build a culture of patient safety within a structure that optimised teamwork and ongoing engagement of the healthcare team. Teamwork impacts the effectiveness of care, patient safety and cli...

New G 2 holonomy metrics, D6 branes with inherent U (1) × U (1) isometry and γ-deformations Abstract It is found the most general local form of the 11-dimensional supergravity backgrounds which, by reduction along one isometry, give rise to IIA supergravity solutions with a RR field and a non trivial dilaton, and for which the condition F (1,1) = 0 holds. This condition is stronger than the usu...

This article examines the non clinical skills and training required for effective maritime pre-hospital emergency care provision within a Role Two Afloat facility, allowing for a Primary Retrieval Team to be deployed in support of boarding operations. The provision of pre-hospital emergency care and sending a retrieval team forward has been trialled in various forms. In 2010 and 2011 a R2A team...
