Preliminary to these experiments scheduled to start in late 1999, experiments will be performed on surrogate cryogenic targets, initially avoiding the complex and difficult target preparation of cryogenic targets. We will

Summary of work: In response to a training needs' analysis of practitioners in remote and rural areas in Scotland, training in chest drains was identified as an urgent priority need. Subsequently, the Clinical Skills Managed Educational Network (CSMEN) developed an evidence-based multi-professional clinical skills pack. This e-learning resource encompasses all aspects of chest drain management, both pre and in-hospital. The pack and an interactive workshop is used to deliver 'blended' chest drain training on a mobile clinical skills unit. Evaluation confirms that the chest drain training is a valuable resource and has been widely used to deliver skills training in remote and rural areas. Feedback from all professional groups is positive. Conclusions: Developing shared national resources, with standardised workshops taught in local contexts via a mobile skills unit is one approach to the challenges associated with delivering high-risk clinical skills education.

At six months postpartum, 66% of the nursing mothers still experienced leaking breasts, and most mothers expressed negative feeling about leaking. Attempts to manage or control leaking milk were sometimes successful, but the unpredictability of leaking often undermined mothers' confidence and ability to stop or conceal leaking milk. To minimize leaking, mothers frequently used pressure on the nipples and consciously diverted their thoughts or used simple word commands to halt the let-down reflex. For those mothers who leaked for the duration of their nursing experience, coming to terms with leaking was an important part of their breastfeeding experience. Suggestions for further research and implications for practice are included.
