This episode sees our guest editor Lina interview Professor Caroline Jay, Professor of Computer Science at the University of Manchester. Caroline is also Head of Research in the School of Engineering. She is qualified as both a Psychologist and Computer Scientist and undertakes research crossing these domains. She is Research Director of the Manchester Software Sustainabilty Institute, and a keen advocate for open and reproducible science. Caroline was named in the Guardian as one of the 2022 Top 50 Women in Engineering.
The NTSP are delighted to be working with Prof Jay as she brings her extensive work designing and improving human-centred systems to some of the NTSP device development research.
The UK National Tracheostomy Safety Project (NTSP) is committed to providing education, information and resources to improve patient safety and the patient experience for those with tracheostomies and laryngectomies. All of our resources are housed on our website www.tracheostomy.org.uk, accessed by over 30,000 visitors each month from around the world.
Our goal is to improve the safety and quality of care for patients with tracheostomies and laryngectomies through education. We work closely with patients, families and healthcare professionals to develop new resources to improve care. We’ve collaborated with key stakeholders in tracheostomy care since 2009, and developed freely accessible resources, supported by online learning developed with the UK Department of Health. We’ve worked with the Global Tracheostomy Collaborative since 2012 to improve care for patients and their families everywhere.
We are funded by grants, donations and in partnership with medical device companies through unrestricted awards. This podcast series is supported by unrestricted education funding from the Atos Learning Institute. The funding supports the professional production of the podcasts and videos, and the medical device companies that support us do not have any creative influence over the content that we record. All of our work is undertaken by volunteer healthcare staff, patients and their families.
Most of our content is supported by videos. You can access our training videos and resources for Basic Care, Emergency Care and Vocalisation & Swallowing. Download and print bedhead signs and emergency algorithms from our resources.
