This paper discusses several key issues that are relevant to the integrity and success of the biomedical research enterprise. Attention to these issues will improve research outcomes and reduce negative consequences in research. Subjects addressed include normative practices in research; the importance of quality data; mentoring of young scientists; how to proceed when a member of the scientific community discovers misconduct or other breaches of integrity; and the level of harm to public confidence in research due to misconduct and lack of transparency in research findings.
New roles for support staff are emerging and registered practitioners are now being asked to devolve key aspects of patient care. This study explores some of the background issues relating to these developments and provides evidence regarding the inevitability but also benefits, if managed well, of these changes. The experience of both support staff who have undertaken the Operating Department Support National Vocational Qualification Level 2 (ODS NVQ) and their managers was examined using a phenomenological approach. Data was obtained on the perceived value of this qualification and training and how it affected the working lives and career development of support staff.
