It is becoming increasingly apparent that addressing these challenges requires more than simply increasing workforce numbers-it necessitates a shift towards innovative practices in healthcare education.

Challenges include upskilling workforce to new more modern methods, ensuring equitable access to digital resources, and maintaining a balance between technological innovation and traditional face-to-face learning. <b>Conclusions</b>: To embed innovation effectively within healthcare HE, institutions may need to prioritise interdisciplinary collaboration, entrepreneurial thinking, and sustainable funding models.

There are between 80 and 200 steps in providing a single patient with a single dose of drugs, with five stages, including prescription, preparation, dispensation, administration and monitoring. This study aims to describe and validate the MAEs (Medication Administration Error Scale) tool, which investigates the most common causes of medication errors in medication administration. <b>Materials and Methods:</b> Independent translators translated the original version of the scale using language verification. The agreed-upon version of the translation was then assessed by a team of nurses, specialists in anaesthetic and intensive care nursing, in terms of understanding the translated content. After introducing changes resulting from linguistic and organisational differences, a survey questionnaire was prepared and used in the pilot study. Eighty-six respondents participated in the pilot study via the Office 365 platform and the Forms programme. The research was led by nurses who work in highly specialised units. The reliability of the translated version of the questionnaire was examined by calculating the Cronbach's alpha coefficient. <b>Results</b>: The tool's internal consistency across ranges was within acceptable limits. For part A (questions 1-29), it was 0.93; for part B (questions 30-45), it was 0.94.

Seventy-two female breast cancer patients experiencing the FSDSC were randomized into either a Tai Chi group or a control group. The Tai Chi group received an eight-week Tai Chi intervention consisting of two one-hour sessions per week, along with routine care, while the control group received routine care only. The feasibility and acceptability of the study procedure and Tai Chi intervention protocol were assessed by measuring recruitment, referral, retention and drop-out rates, questionnaire completion rates (including the Brief Fatigue Inventory [BFI], Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [PSQI], Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Depression [HADS-D], and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast [FACT-B]), intervention adherence, and safety outcomes. The nested qualitative process evaluation consisted of semi-structured interviews conducted among 22 participants to further explore their experiences of participating in this study and practicing Tai Chi.
