Objective: A genetics service wanted to gain an insight into the experiences of families with an inherited cardiac condition in order to design a new pilot service around family needs. Design: A focus group was held to understand from a family perspective what was important within the service. Interventions: Five families that had already been through the service were invited to share their experiences. Results: Three families attended. The facilitators noted the main points of what was discussed. The common themes were the time taken from the diagnosis or death of the family member to getting help and support. The lack of awareness of where to get the help required. Families felt unsupported after a sudden death. Conclusions: The families welcomed the opportunity to share their stories and the chance to improve the service for future users. An action plan was devised to include what they saw was important in a service.

This paper describes a comprehensive review of academic integrity across course-level learning outcomes for all courses at one institution. The authors developed a taxonomy based on The International Center for Academic Integrity’s (ICAI) fundamental values of academic integrity to audit course-level learning outcomes for evidence of academic integrity instruction. Approximately 23% of the 3379 courses examined demonstrated a clear component of academic integrity and instruction varied across Faculties and levels of study. The study provides insights into academic integrity instruction and opportunities for academic institutions to better understand, utilize, and integrate academic integrity instruction into their courses and programs.

France From very early in the era of joint replacement, the need for more than one size of implant became obvious. At first the median design was simply scaled up or down in all its dimensions -

The objective of this study is to compare the retrieval effectiveness of using tag as an access point as against subject heading or keyword in a public library OPAC. Thirty queries were searched in Oakville Public Library, and tag retrieved a fewer number of items per query than keyword or subject. However, there was no significant difference in the average precision values.L’objectif de cette étude est de comparer l’efficacité du repérage à l’aide des étiquettes comme point d’accès à celui des vedettes matières ou des mots-clés d’un OPAC de bibliothèque publique. Trente requêtes ont été analysées à la bibliothèque publique d’Oakville et le repérage par étiquette a retourné moins de résultats par requête que les mots-clés ou les vedettes matières. Cependant, aucune différence significative n’a été notée pour les valeurs de précision moyenne.
