Students were offered the option of attending one, two or all three interactive seminars. In total twenty-two students representing five different professions attended. All students were studying in the first year of their professional programme. The evaluation shows students learned from and with each other, although the seminars were challenging as they were exploring their own values and beliefs whilst at the same time attempting to understand different perspectives. Limitations were identified around the timing and location of the seminars. We conclude that the in-practice IPL seminar series was a success and it is worth considering as an option for future IPL delivery.","PeriodicalId":123638,"journal":{"name":"Health and Social Care Education","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126518441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The increasing popularity of social networking sites (SNS) has changed the way people manage information about their personal and professional lives. Previous studies have considered how medical students use Facebook, but there is a paucity of research looking at other professional disciplines; either individually or exploring whether there are inter-professional differences. An anonymous online survey was completed by 595 students at one UK university; pharmacy (n = 91, 15%), social work (n = 166, 28%) and nursing students (n = 338, 57%) across all years of the courses. Significant differences were found with regard to attitudes towards Facebook and online professionalism between the subject disciplines, year of study, age and gender of the students. Findings suggest more education and guidance is needed to provide students with the appropriate knowledge of how to maintain professionalism in an online context.","PeriodicalId":123638,"journal":{"name":"Health and Social Care Education","volume":"206 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123376646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This brief communication reports the findings of a questionnaire that formed part of an investigation into supporting medical students with learning difficulties. There were 325 responses from students at medical schools in California (USA) and New Zealand. Responses confirmed theories that are known to underpin elements of education. Interestingly, there were conflicting views regarding the use of slides and handouts to support educational activities. Such conflicts highlight the complexity of reconciling pressures from special educational needs policy with institutional traditions and managerialist priorities.","PeriodicalId":123638,"journal":{"name":"Health and Social Care Education","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127945342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors analyse dominant, anti-discriminatory practice approaches to this topic in order to raise several limitations, such as a focus solely upon negative experiences of ‘sexual minority’ groups, the establishment of ‘correct/incorrect’ values, and the imperative to identify individual homophobic beliefs. Instead, the authors present an alternative approach, based upon analysis of everyday practice and discourse, or the ways in which questions of sexuality are ordinarily represented and talked about, and they emphasize social work’s active production of forms of sexual knowledge. The article outlines some examples from teaching, in order to question the emphasis on codes of practice and values within social work education, and suggests ideas for a reflexive approach to sexuality in practice.","PeriodicalId":123638,"journal":{"name":"Health and Social Care Education","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121649979","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the US, recommendations for behavioural sciences education for medical undergraduates have been developed. However, the United Kingdom has yet to produce agreed curriculum outcomes for behavioural sciences in medical education. We aimed to develop an evidence-based consensus behavioural sciences curriculum for undergraduate medical education. This paper reports a novel technique for curriculum development that utilises knowledge and expertise of key stakeholders from medicine, medical education and behavioural sciences. It was successfully used to develop a psychology core curriculum for undergraduate medicine in the UK.","PeriodicalId":123638,"journal":{"name":"Health and Social Care Education","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126585790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
