Journal Article
Marková, I. S., & Berrios, G. E. (2014). The construction of anosognosia: History and implications. Cortex; a journal devoted to the study of the nervous system and behavior, 61, 9-17. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cortex.2014.09.011

Phenomena of awareness in dementia: Heterogeneity and its implications (2014)
Journal Article
Marková, I. S., Clare, L., Whitaker, C. J., Roth, I., Nelis, S. M., Martyr, A., Roberts, J. L., Woods, R. T., & Morris, R. (2014). Phenomena of awareness in dementia: Heterogeneity and its implications. Consciousness and cognition, 25(1), 17-26. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.concog.2014.01.008

Despite much research on the relationship between awareness and dementia little can be concluded concerning their relationship and the role of other factors. It is likely that studies capture different phenomena of awareness. This study aimed at iden... Read More about Phenomena of awareness in dementia: Heterogeneity and its implications.

Background Most lung cancers present symptomatically, but the pathway to diagnosis in primary care can be complex and is poorly understood. Significant event audit (SEA) is a quality improvement technique widely used in UK general practice. Aim To ga...
