These were added to in March 2024 with a new review of different ways to close the skin when a person ’s stoma is reversed. We asked lead author, Shahab Hajibandeh from Health Education and Improvement Wales to tell us more and he used the ElevenLabs AI Voice Generator to record this podcast.

Talk Evidence covid-19 update - How will we know if a vaccine works?
Vaccines have been in the news this week - but when you dig into the stories, it turns out that the hype is about phase 1 trials. We're a long way from being sure any of the 150 possible vaccines being developed actually work.
In this talk evidence we're talking to a researcher, a regulator, and a manufacturer about the way in covid-19 is upending normal vaccine development, which hurdles they'll have to reach to get onto the market, and how we'll know which one to choose when they are there.
This week

Wellbeing – how to write a wellbeing prescription
How might stress affect your performance as a healthcare worker?
That’s the question that Mark Stacey, a consultant obstetric anaesthetist in Cardiff, has been interested in for the past 10 years. He saw similarities in the aviation industry, which uses a theory of human factors to explain why things go wrong when humans interact with complex systems.
Stres s was a major culprit, in both aerospace and medicine, so he began to explore wellbeing as a way to reduce stress and, in turn, reduce adverse events. He has developed the idea of writing yourself a wellbeing prescription, which includes practical techniques such ...
