Implementation of the SIPS surgical handover system was associated with improvements in handover quality, patient physiology, and staff perceptions of safety without prolonging handover meetings. ja.ma/46PxqsE
Line graph showing "Handovers/wk where interention was used, %" vs "Intervention week". The graph starts from 0 and rises sharply to 80% by week 2, plateaus around 100% between weeks 5-14, then fluctuates between 80% and 100% until week 20.

The story of London cabby MRIs changing as they learn “the knowledge” is well-known but did you know an Irish scientist was behind it? RIP Dr Eleanor Maguire @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/s...

Eleanor Maguire, Memory Expert Who Studied London Cabbies, Dies at 54
By watching the brain process information, she discovered that a specific region plays a key role in spatial navigation — and that it can be strengthened like a muscle.
