Any advice for cleaning the inside bit of the lid on a @tommeetippee GoPrep formula feed maker? Mines full of mold, I’ve tried a bottle brush, straw brush, different cloths, all to no avail

Fatigue is a killer. New technologies to monitor alertness have great potential in the context of transport applications. How can we help this fledgling industry? Victoria Laxton explores this superhero technology in her blog 👉 https://t.co/O5WdkrQoqY

Great experience speaking at 'Drowning Prevention and Treatment' global webinar with @physoc this morning. I hope you all enjoyed my talk on the fatigue lessons we could learn from the bus industry! Thanks @DrJennySmith, @ProfMikeTipton, @drpaddymorgan, & @adeymayhew_.

Drowning remains a global pandemic claiming the lives of at least 1000 people a day.

Join us in October for the #DrowningPrevention meeting. Submit your abstract by 25 Sept 🔗 https://t.co/vhcgdpMKs3 #RespectTheWater @ProfMikeTipton

Looking for some inspiration. I have an old WWII air raid shelter in my garden. My curiosity wants to just get in and look inside, but it’s full of water, so any tips for emptying? Also any general restoring/refurbishing tips?

Standardised colour-coded compartmentalised syringe trays improve anaesthetic medication visual search and mitigate cognitive load. https://t.co/Cj6GcuCGCc

A thought piece I have recently written with @NewsfromTRL about a recent ‘SMIDSY’ incident. How can we can make a safer road system?

[TRL @NewsfromTRL]

Sorry mate I didn't see you, but how could I?
Victoria Laxton has a near miss with a cyclist in the dark. In this blog she explores the implications for road safety.

"Sorry mate I didn't see you" is a frequent cause of road collisions. Victoria Laxton believes lessons learned from her research into intense classification training of lifeguards (on the lookout for drowning swimmers) could be lifesavers.

.@DerbyUniPsych’s eye-tracking research explores whether using colour-coded syringe trays can help reduce medication errors. The research has featured in @BJAJournals and @NursingNotesUK https://t.co/If9nfj3kPx @FrankieMaratos @victorialaxton @Ed_Stupple

[Victoria @victorialaxton]

@Stephthepsych @RainbowTrays @Ed_Stupple @FrankieMaratos @DerbyUniPsych I revisited this just the other day

[Victoria @victorialaxton]

Our eye-tracking research exploring @RainbowTrays effect on visual search and cognitive load is now available to read with British Journal of Anaesthesia

The last of my PhD studies exploring training and testing of lifeguards is now available to read online. This study explores an intense classification training to improving the ability to detect drowning swimmers

@EmmaHarrison35 @RLSSUK @rlsscw That’d be great, we know nothing about the diploma one and dad thinks it must be a spare from his coaching days. I could only guess at a year, but 80s/90s?

[Victoria @victorialaxton]

Found some old @RLSSUK badges in my dad’s attic. Anyone know what the diploma badge was for?

[Victoria @victorialaxton]

@bfinlay0212 @RLSSUK @rlsscw Interesting. We don’t think he actually did it. More of a spare lying around from his old club coaching days. There were quite a few of the medallion and award of merit badges in the box. I’ve never heard of the diploma one before though.

[Victoria @victorialaxton]

@amyepeden @RLSSUK It’s probably 30+ years old. Not really sure why he has the badge or if it was even a thing anymore
