Article Abstract
Background: Rotational working has been offered as a solution to bridge the retention crises faced by ambulance services in the United Kingdom due to the inception of paramedics working in primary care. One project in North Wales examines the viability of rotating Advanced Paramedic Practitioners employed by Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust into primary care. As part of this project, an educational framework was developed to prepare and support Advanced Paramedic Practitioners in the provision of clinical care in primary care settings. This educational framework was evaluated to determine how it supported the development of Advanced Paramedic Practitioners in the primary care setting.
Methods: Semi-structured focus groups were undertaken with Advanced Paramedic Practitioners (n = 7) and GP trainers (n = 4).
Outcome: A narrative analysis of the information collected highlighted three overarching themes concerning the need for clinical supervision and feedback in primary care, and the usefulness of the education framework in regard to a tailored curriculum and recording progression.
Discussion: Despite the upcoming workforce changes, there is currently no standard education framework to support the development of Advanced Paramedic Practitioners in primary care. This evaluation offers insight into the educational needs of Advanced Paramedic Practitioners working in this setting and suggests an education structure that can best support their learning, whilst meeting regulatory requirements for paramedic professional development. Formal research is required to determine any link between provision of education for Advanced Paramedic Practitioners in primary care and patient outcome and safety.

In cardiovascular research, melatonin has shown promise in exhibiting antifibrotic properties and modulating endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. However, the exact mechanism by which it influences myocardial fibrosis has not been fully clarified. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate the inhibitory effect of melatonin on the progression of myocardial fibrosis through a mechanism involving the BIP/PERK/CHOP signaling pathway, both in silico and in vivo experimental models.

Radiation and doxorubicin (Dox) exert destructive effects on testicular tissue. Resveratrol, a natural antioxidant, may protect the spermatogenic system against the toxic effects of these agents. This study evaluated the protective and antioxidant properties of resveratrol-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (RES-SLNs) against Dox- and radiation-induced testicular injury in mice.

Background: Discharge from acute hospital to new care home is a complex and life changing process often involving several key stakeholders in decision-making such as the older person, their significant person and members of the multidisciplinary team. There is limited research exploring the perspectives of these stakeholders, including factors that influence decision-making and how this is communicated.
Objective: This study explored how decisions are made to discharge older people directly from hospital to care home, considering the perspectives and experiences of those involved.
