Objective To gain an understanding of what challenges pulse oximetry for paediatric pneumonia management poses, how it has changed service provision and would improve this device use across clinical settings in low-income countries. Design Focus group discussions (FGDs), with purposive sampling thematic analysis using a framework approach. Setting Community, front-line outpatient, hospital outpatient inpatient Malawi Bangladesh, which provide care. Participants Healthcare providers (HCPs)...
Summary There is an urgent need to improve access safe surgical and anaesthetic care for children living in many low‐ middle‐income countries. Providing quality training healthcare workers a key component of achieving this. The 3‐day Safer Anaesthesia from Education (SAFE) ® paediatric anaesthesia course was developed address the specific skills knowledge required this field. We undertook project expand across five East Central African countries (Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Uganda Zambia) train...
Abstract Introduction To develop both professionally and personally, health professionals need to build essential skills in reflective practice. Educators generally agree that these should be developed as part of curricula for professional students. The aims were introduce practice third‐year dentistry students evaluate the students' self‐perceived before after their activities. Materials methods Using a written questionnaire, perceptions gathered first clinic placement. Students also...
Hypoxemia measured by pulse oximetry predicts child pneumonia mortality in low-resource settings (LRS). Existing pediatric oximeter probes are prohibitively expensive and/or difficult to use, limiting LRS implementation. Using a human-centered design, we developed low-cost, reusable probe for health-care workers (HCWs). Here, report usability testing. Fifty-one HCWs from Malawi, Bangladesh, and the United Kingdom participated, seven experts provided reference measurements. Health-care...
Abstract Objective To assess the performance of reusable pulse oximeter probe and microprocessor box combinations, varying price‐points, in context a low‐income pediatric setting. Methods A prospective, randomized cross‐over study comparing time to biologically plausible oxygen saturation (SpO 2 ) between: (1) Lifebox LB‐01 with Masimo Rad‐87 (L + M) (2) weight‐appropriate (M M). post hoc secondary analysis comparison historical usability testing data V1.5 L) was also conducted....
Subsurface drainage discharge nitrate–N (NO3–N) losses were evaluated under corn during a three year period replicated systems: i) 100 mm diameter tile at 80 cm depth; ii) 50 depth and iii) depth. Each system had 12 m spacings between laterals. The field investigation possessed shallow, imperfectly–to–poorly drained soils. Throughout the average NO3–N concentrations in outflow similar for all systems ranging from 9.6–11.4 mg L−1. Total was significantly lower shallow (50 cm) compared to two...

<h3>Aims</h3> Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a lifelong haematological disorder resulting in anaemia and pain crisis. Specialist centres use experienced staff accredited protocols to manage crises affected children. The main objective of this audit identify areas management which could be improved line with recommendations set out locally, by the ‘Painful Cell Crisis Protocol’ nationally, NHS Childhood Standards Guidelines for Clinical Care. This may provide useful insight service improvement...
<h3>Background</h3> Pneumonia is the leading infectious cause of death in children under five years, with most deaths occurring low-income countries. Severe pneumonia associated hypoxaemia which can be detected using a pulse oximeter. Single-use adhesive oximeter probes common UK are not affordable or practical for Led by charity Lifebox and funded The Gates Foundation, this 18 month collaborative project between GOSH, UCL centres Malawi Bangladesh, had aim designing testing modified...
<h3>Background</h3> The burden of treatable surgical diseases in children low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is greater than that malaria, HIV/AIDS TB combined. World Health Organisation member states are required to scale up access emergency essential surgery for by 2030 as part universal health coverage. There a critical shortage anaesthetists trained look after LMICs. aim this project was deliver the Safer Anaesthesia From Education (SAFE) Paediatric course East Central Africa,...
