Super interesting to be involved in this mixed methods study looking at staffing and quality in care homes.
We investigated whether outcomes (e.g falls, UTI) were associated with levels of nurse staffing. They were, but seemingly a small effect, with relative high costs.
Great to be part of this study, investigating bystander use of video streaming at the scene of incidents.
People were willing and able to use it - also raises interesting considerations about how to do a future economic evaluation.

New paper on AAA screening in @ISPORJournals. Always great to collaborate with @michaelsweeting and colleagues on these projects investigating optimising screening.
Great working with @Matt0G@Matt_J_Bown@Vascularexpert on "Evaluating the Cost-Effectiveness of Changes to the Surveillance Intervals in the UK Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening Programme". https://t.co/zMIWJ6I54c

Adaptation of model developed for RESCAN collaboration in UK for AAA screening in NZ. Authors suggest likely to be cost-effective. #HTA#Markovmodel#healtheconomics
