Reflection is often used as a tool to analyse student learning, be it for internalizing of acquired knowledge or as a form of seeking help through expression of doubts or misconceptions. However, it can be a c...
Chapter and Conference Paper
This paper presents the implementation and evaluation of three specific, yet complementary, mechanisms of haptic feedback—namely, normal displacement, tangential position, and vibration—to render, at a finger-...

The advancement of knowledge in medicine presents an important challenge when identifying gaps and deciding what content to include in a medical school curriculum and how to establish learning outcomes. Monito...
Article
The role of simulation training in paediatric surgery is expanding as more simulation devices are designed and validated. We aimed to conduct a training needs assessment of UK paediatric surgical trainees to p...
Chapter
Surgical training has evolved enormously in the recent decades. The reduction in working hours and an increased focus on patient safety, coupled with a tremendous development of novel technologies, has shifted...
Article
The number of diagnostic imaging examinations being undertaken in the UK is rising. Due to the expensive nature of producing these examinations and the risks associated with exposing living tissue to the ionis...
