The establishment of a monthly Radiography Research and Journal Club has helped to meet the educational and professional development needs of students and qualified staff in a changing teaching and learning environment. The introduction of degree education presented opportunities for new, student centred learning styles within the pre-registration therapeutic radiography course offered by The Royal Marsden NHS Trust and Kingston University. At the same time the need to provide a forum for academic and clinical staff to learn about the research process in general and current work in radiography and oncology in particular was recognized. A varied, and practitioner-led, programme for the Club and a flexible approach ensures maximum participation. The review of a journal article about telephone counselling for cancer patients and the ensuing discussion is given as an example of the value of one such meeting. The topic raised issues related to current practice and the research methods used provoked a number of questions. As the result of the discussion two of the participants are involved in a research project on a related issue.
In this article I set out an agenda of good practice for today's humanitarian practitioner. I first outline the distinctive political and conflict-related features of today's complex political emergencies, and the new interventionist strategies of the international community and the United Nations in responding to them. From this description of the new operating environment faced by humanitarian practitioners since the end of the Cold War, I go on to identify a range of key skills required by today's relief workers. These include: informed political analysis; negotiation skills; conflict analysis management and resolution; propaganda monitoring and humanitarian broadcasting; a broader understanding of vulnerability to include notions of political, ethnic, gender and class based vulnerability; human rights monitoring and reporting; military liaison; and personal security and staff welfare. Finally, the article focuses on the moral skills required by today's humanitarian practitioners if they are to work out a new model of humanitarian identity and positioning which supersedes the traditional but devalued notion of neutrality.
