multidisciplinary research priorities for the covid 19 pandemic a call for action for mental Health Science
The Lancet Psychiatry, 2020Co-Authors: Emily A Holmes, Rory C Oconnor, Hugh V Perry, Irene Tracey, Simon Wessely, Louise Arseneault, Clive Ballard, Helen Christensen, Roxane Cohen SilverAbstract:The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is having a profound effect on all aspects of society, including mental Health and physical Health. We explore the psychological, social, and neuroscientific effects of COVID-19 and set out the immediate priorities and longer-term strategies for mental Health Science research. These priorities were informed by surveys of the public and an expert panel convened by the UK Academy of Medical Sciences and the mental Health research charity, MQ: Transforming Mental Health, in the first weeks of the pandemic in the UK in March, 2020. We urge UK research funding agencies to work with researchers, people with lived experience, and others to establish a high level coordination group to ensure that these research priorities are addressed, and to allow new ones to be identified over time. The need to maintain high-quality research standards is imperative. International collaboration and a global perspective will be beneficial. An immediate priority is collecting high-quality data on the mental Health effects of the COVID-19 pandemic across the whole population and vulnerable groups, and on brain function, cognition, and mental Health of patients with COVID-19. There is an urgent need for research to address how mental Health consequences for vulnerable groups can be mitigated under pandemic conditions, and on the impact of repeated media consumption and Health messaging around COVID-19. Discovery, evaluation, and refinement of mechanistically driven interventions to address the psychological, social, and neuroscientific aspects of the pandemic are required. Rising to this challenge will require integration across disciplines and sectors, and should be done together with people with lived experience. New funding will be required to meet these priorities, and it can be efficiently leveraged by the UK's world-leading infrastructure. This Position Paper provides a strategy that may be both adapted for, and integrated with, research efforts in other countries.

corrigendum to widening participation of māori and pasifika students in Health careers evaluation of two Health Science academies
Australian Health Review, 2019Co-Authors: Lesley Middleton, Ausaga Faasalele Tanuvasa, Megan Pledger, Nicola Grace, Kirsten Smiler, Tua Taueetia Lotosua, Jacqueline CummingAbstract:Objective The aim of the present study was to evaluate the short-term outcomes of two Health Science academies established by a district Health board in South Auckland, New Zealand, to create a Health workforce pipeline for local Māori and Pasifika students. Methods A mixed-methods approach was used, involving background discussions with key informants to generate an initial logic model of how the academies work, followed by secondary analysis of students’ records relating to retention and academic achievement, a survey of senior academy students’ interest in particular Health careers and face-to-face interviews and focus groups with students, families and teachers. Results Academy students are collectively achieving better academic results than their contemporaries, although selection decisions are likely to contribute to these results. Academies are retaining students, with over 70% of students transitioning from Year 11 to Years 12 and 13. Senior students are expressing long-term ambitions to work in the Health sector. Conclusions Health Science academies show promise as an innovative approach to supporting Māori and Pasifika students prepare for a career in the Health professions. Evaluating the long-term outcomes of the academies is required to determine their contribution to addressing inequities in the local Health workforce. What is known about the topic? Despite progress in Health workforce participation for underrepresented indigenous and ethnic minority groups in New Zealand, significant disparities persist. Within this context, a workforce development pipeline that targets preparation of secondary school students is recommended to address identified barriers in the pursuit of Health careers. What does this paper add? We provide an evaluation of an innovative district Health board initiative supporting high school students that is designed to ensure their future workforce is responsive to the needs of the local community. What are the implications for practitioners? The findings have implications for decision makers in Health workforce planning regarding the benefits of investing at an early stage of the workforce development pipeline in order to build an equitable and diverse Health professions workforce.

integrating research clinical care and education in academic Health Science centers
Journal of Health Organisation and Management, 2016Co-Authors: Gillian King, Nicole Thomson, Mitchell G Rothstein, Shauna Kingsnorth, Kathryn ParkerAbstract:Purpose One of the major issues faced by academic Health Science centers (AHSCs) is the need for mechanisms to foster the integration of research, clinical, and educational activities to achieve the vision of evidence-informed decision making (EIDM) and optimal client care. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach This paper synthesizes literature on organizational learning and collaboration, evidence-informed organizational decision making, and learning-based organizations to derive insights concerning the nature of effective workplace learning in AHSCs. Findings An evidence-informed model of collaborative workplace learning is proposed to aid the alignment of research, clinical, and educational functions in AHSCs. The model articulates relationships among AHSC academic functions and sub-functions, cross-functional activities, and collaborative learning processes, emphasizing the importance of cross-functional activities in enhancing collaborative learning processes and optimizing EIDM and client care. Cross-functional activities involving clinicians, researchers, and educators are hypothesized to be a primary vehicle for integration, supported by a learning-oriented workplace culture. These activities are distinct from interprofessional teams, which are clinical in nature. Four collaborative learning processes are specified that are enhanced in cross-functional activities or teamwork: co-constructing meaning, co-learning, co-producing knowledge, and co-using knowledge. Practical implications The model provides an aspirational vision and insight into the importance of cross-functional activities in enhancing workplace learning. The paper discusses the conceptual and empirical basis to the model, its contributions and limitations, and implications for AHSCs. Originality/value The model's potential utility for Health care is discussed, with implications for organizational culture and the promotion of cross-functional activities.
