Trainee/Student Research Paper of the Year

Sam Behjati

ST5 Paediatrics, East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust

Genome sequencing of normal cells reveals developmental lineages and mutational processes.

In this paper Sam devised and employed a novel method to reconstruct embryology and to study mutational process in normal cells, using whole genome sequences of single cell clones. The paper was awarded the Donald Paterson Prize of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, a prize awarded for the best scientific articles written by a pre-Consultant paediatrician.

Alexander Durst

ST4 Trauma and Orthopaedics, West Suffolk Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

An evaluation of multimodal spinal cord monitoring in scoliosis surgery: a single centre experience of 354 operations.

The paper’s aims were to show that multimodal neuromonitoring can effectively prevent neurological complications in spinal deformity surgery, for which there were loose national guidelines but no current consensus opinion. This research shows high sensitivity and specificity for its use, and that it should be the gold standard in deformity surgery. This is reliant on an experienced and dedicated team structure.

Meng Wang

ST3 Haematology, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA) after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: Analysis of 533 Adult Patients Who Underwent Transplantation at King’s College Hospital.

AIHA is a poorly characterised post-transplant complication, with no consensus on optimal treatment. Limited case series and small retrospective studies indicate that post-transplant AIHA can be very aggressive and resistant to treatment.

To better understand the risk factors, prognosis and management of post-transplant AIHA, Meng carried out a retrospective analysis of 533 adult patients that underwent bone marrow transplants at King’s College Hospital.

Trainee/Student Quality Improvement Project of the Year

Suhas Kumar

Senior Clinical Fellow, Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

Organisational learning and In-situ simulation: A theory put into practice.

The project was developed to promote the culture of organisational learning in the Intensive care unit (ITU). It involves creating a safe learning environment at work. This was possible only by engaging all the individuals in the ITU and bringing them together in improving education, team working and the environment. In-situ simulation was a theoretically ideal tool but has not been used previously for this purpose.

Talitha Mirja de Vries

CT2 Anaesthetics, Basildon and Thurrock University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust Use of the National Hip Fracture Database for Quality Improvement in Anaesthesia for Hip Fracture Patients.

The aim of this quality improvement project was to implement the recommendations of the Anaesthetic Sprint Audit of Practice 2013 in order to give hip fracture patients the best care possible. The project showed very good results - quickly reaching its target rate for spinal anaesthetics, showing that interventions do not need to consume many resources to be effective.

Emma Stevens

FY2 Doctor, East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust

Standardised storage of venepuncture and cannulation equipment: Can it deliver efficiency savings and improve patient care?

This project is based on a problem identified by junior doctors working in a surgical department. It has demonstrated that the use of a standardised storage of equipment needed for basic, commonly performed ward-based tasks improves efficiency and patient care. Through collaborative working with departmental clinicians and managers, the outcome of the project has resulted in changes in the targeted wards.
