Journal Article
Chetter, I., Long, J., Arundel, C., Firth, A., Clarke, E., Meethan, K., & Sylvester, M. (in press). Exploring feedback from research nurses in relation to the design and conduct of a randomised controlled trial of wound care treatments: a sequential, dependent, mixed-methods study. Journal of tissue viability, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtv.2020.07.007

Background Research nurse involvement in trials is crucial to successful conduct, however their feedback on trial design and conduct is not necessarily always collected and shared. This study was designed to explore research nurse feedback in rela...

Evaluating whether MPA management measures meet ecological principles for effective biodiversity protection (2020)
Journal Article
Hopkins, C., Burns, N., Brooker, E., Dolman, S., Devenport, E., Duncan, C., & Bailey, D. (in press). Evaluating whether MPA management measures meet ecological principles for effective biodiversity protection. Acta Oecologica,

Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) have been implemented as a spatial management tool throughout the world in order to meet targets for marine biodiversity conservation. The success of MPAs in achieving biodiversity conservation objectives is strongly dep...
