    Abstract Purpose: Based on a 2022 Speech Pathology Australia National Conference keynote address, the author explores the concept of autonomy and how it can be reconceptualised for people with profound intellectual and multiple disability through supported decision-making.
    Method: A collection of participatory action research studies with people with profound intellectual and multiple disability and their supporters are presented. Qualitative action research methodologies, including participatory observation, co-design workshops, and interviews, were used to explore supported decision-making for people with profound intellectual and multiple disability.
    Result: The insights have been used to co-design (with supporters) a definition and practice framework to enhance the autonomy of people with profound intellectual and multiple disability.
    Conclusion: Drawing on the construct of relational autonomy, readers are asked to reflect on their role as speech-language pathologists in enhancing autonomy of those they service, particularly people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities. A definition of supported decision-making for people with profound intellectual and multiple disability along with a practice framework are offered. This body of work adds to a growing evidence base in supported decision-making, providing much needed practice guidance specifically relating to people with profound intellectual and multiple disability.

    Abstract As part of a project to review the delivery of healthcare services in Torbay and South Devon, England, the author undertook a literature review focusing on the specialty of men's health. Men have a shorter life expectancy than women and this discrepancy is particularly pronounced in areas of social deprivation such as those found in the coastal and rural communities of the author's locality. The concept of men's health is complex, and this literature review identified five main themes that can have a significant influence on the delivery of healthcare services for men: masculinity, ethnicity, mental health, relevance of place, and access to services. In this article, the author discusses these themes and considers approaches that could be used to improve the provision of men's healthcare.

    Abstract Purpose: Psychoeducational interventions are commonly used to improve mental health among the general population; however, their application among people with complex communication needs is under explored. This scoping review aims to identify the psychoeducational interventions utilised with people with complex communication needs, any adaptations to improve communication access, and outcomes for this population.
    Materials and methods: The scoping review was conducted using the Arksey and O'Malley guidelines and included stakeholder consultations. A systematic search of the literature was conducted. Stakeholder consultations were conducted via semi-structured interviews with informants from three populations: people with complex communication needs, everyday communication partners and mental health workers.
    Results: The search yielded 2112 articles. Twenty-four articles were retained for data extraction. Numerical analysis provided an overview of the existing literature. Thematic analysis highlighted the range of communication access strategies applied within psychoeducational interventions. Common aims and outcomes of interventions occurred across three interrelated themes: education, symptom reduction, and improved coping and wellbeing. Stakeholder consultations enabled contextualisation of literature.
    Conclusions: People with complex communication needs may benefit from psychoeducational interventions when effective, personalised communication access strategies are employed. Future research should include lived-experience perspectives to ensure the relevance of communication access strategies in mental health support.Implications for rehabilitationThis scoping review adds to the evidence base supporting equitable access to mental health support for people with complex communication needs.A range of specific strategies are presented for mental health workers to consider when working with people with complex communication needs.Positive behaviour support (PBS) practitioners must be equipped to address the psychoeducational and mental health support requirements of people with complex communication needs.

    Abstract Abstract: The demand for clinical placement sites for nursing students requires the development of alternative clinical settings. This study aimed to evaluate an innovative learning experience for nursing students at the World Scout Jamboree. Nineteen students and four faculty were assigned to base camp medical facilities, providing care for more than 45,000 campers. Student pre- and posttests reported significant increases in cultural awareness, communication skills, and clinical problem-solving ability; students rated interprofessional teamwork highly. Findings reveal promising direction for use of alternative clinical sites to fill the gap in clinical placements while offering unique learning experiences.

    Abstract People with intellectual disability have poorer oral health outcomes and experience greater difficulties accessing dental services than the rest of the community. Interdisciplinary educational programs for those involved in oral health decision making for people with intellectual disability aim to improve their oral health. This scoping review explored education/training interventions related to the oral health of adults with intellectual disability. Interventions targeted dental health and non-dental health professionals, adults with intellectual disability, and their paid and unpaid supporters. Six electronic databases were searched using PRISMA guidelines and the Crowes critical appraisal tool. The search strategy, plus the application of the inclusion and exclusion criteria, presented in the body of the manuscript, led to the selection of 20 papers for inclusion into this review. The quality of undergraduate tuition relating to disability was reported to be poor, but students and dental health professionals expressed interest in expanding their knowledge in this area. Disability-support workers and primary carers of people with intellectual disability reported improved knowledge and attitude, but the oral health status of the people they supported was not impacted. No research was found that explored the perspectives of non-dental health professionals. Oral health training/education contributes to systemic barriers in general health, wellbeing, and social inclusion of people with intellectual disability. Revision of disability-related programs in general dentistry courses and longitudinal impact research is needed.

    Abstract Cells contain intracellular compartments, including membrane-bound organelles and the nucleus, and are surrounded by a plasma membrane. Proteins are localised to one or more of these cellular compartments; the correct localisation of proteins is crucial for their correct processing and function. Moreover, proteins and the cellular processes they partake in are regulated by relocalisation in response to various cellular stimuli. High-throughput 'omics experiments result in a list of proteins or genes of interest; one way in which their functional role can be understood is through the knowledge of their subcellular localisation, as deduced through statistical enrichment for Gene Ontology Cellular Component (GOCC) annotations or similar. We have designed a bioinformatics tool, named SubcellulaRVis, that compellingly visualises the results of GOCC enrichment for quick interpretation of the localisation of a group of proteins (rather than single proteins). We demonstrate that SubcellulaRVis precisely describes the subcellular localisation of gene lists whose locations have been previously ascertained. SubcellulaRVis can be accessed via the web (http://phenome.manchester.ac.uk/subcellular/) or as a stand-alone app (https://github.com/JoWatson2011/subcellularvis). SubcellulaRVis will be useful for experimental biologists with limited bioinformatics expertise who want to analyse data related to protein (re)localisation and location-specific modules within the intracellular protein network.

    Abstract Background: Due to developments in health and social care, people with profound intellectual and multiple disability (PIMD) are living longer than ever before, meaning they are increasingly experiencing life-threatening health conditions requiring palliative care. Little is known about providing end-of-life care for people with PIMD. The aim of this study was to explore health practitioners' perspectives and practices relating to end-of-life decision-making and planning for people with PIMD.
    Methods: Seven in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with health practitioners employed in a range of hospital and community services throughout Melbourne, Australia. Questions were designed to gather information about their experience, perceptions, and attitudes relating to people with PIMD during and at the end of their life. Each interview, ranging from 40 to 60 min in length, was audio recorded and transcribed. Inductive thematic analysis was used to analyse the data.
    Results: Four main themes emerged: limited participation, bias, dignity, and quality of death. Health practitioners indicated that people with PIMD are frequently excluded from participating in decision-making related to end-of-life care. Participants discussed reasons for this exclusion including challenges with communication and cognition. Participants reported a need for additional support and guidance in providing care for people with PIMD at the end of life. Professional and family bias played a role in end-of-life decision-making for people with PIMD. Participants reported a disproportional focus by palliative care practitioners on physical as opposed to emotional and spiritual well-being for patients with PIMD at the end of life. Finally, participants reported that people with PIMD generally did not die in specialised palliative care settings, but in segregated supported living environments.
    Conclusions: Due to negative perceptions of a person with PIMD's decision-making capacity, people with PIMD are likely to be assessed as unable to express choice and preference regarding end-of-life care and are offered limited opportunity to be involved in their own end-of-life care. This research provides guidance for the development of training and professional development relating to people with PIMD at the end of life. It is hoped that this will increase the accessibility of end-of-life services for people with PIMD, ensuring that a respectful and dignified death can be a reality for all humankind regardless of disability.
