You know that feeling when the ‘not breathing well' patient gets rushed to your crash bench, and you stand there with your stethoscope trying to look like your planning, but actually, you're just panicking... You have to do something, but what? Where do you begin?!  This is exactly why I loved this conversation with ECC specialist and Director of Animal Emergency Australia, Dr Rob Webster, about the 6 steps that will help you localise the problem in the respiratory distress patient. Because once you localise it, you have a DD list, and you have a plan. Dr Rob guides us through the first minutes of assessing the respiratory distress veterinary patient and shows us how to quickly assess breathing patterns and sounds to help you pin-point and fix the problem.

How Does Sanctification Work? Session 3 Rob Webster April 21, 2024 by Evangelical Fellowship Church

Taking God at His Word Chapter 6 "God's Word Is Necessary" Rob Webster September 17, 2023 by Evangelical Fellowship Church

Inclusivity… Inequality… These are important, much-used words – but how do you generate meaningful action? This episode is with Fatima Khan Shah, West Yorkshire's Inclusivity Champion. Fatima's role is new, wide ranging and sits right at the heart of what both the West Yorkshire Mayor, Tracy Brabin, and the West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership, led by Rob Webster, are trying to achieve. This is certainly no box ticking role – something new and exciting is happening. There is a lot to learn from this episode! Fatima is a wonderfully engaging and inspiring interviewee and we discuss the origins of her role and how it works in practice, including some top advice for balancing the desire for quick reform with the importance of bringing people with you on the journey. There is a lot of advice on how to positively influence people, which involves putting yourself in their shoes and tailoring your “pitch”. We also get into the nuts and bolts of her inclusivity goals, including the main wider determinants of health and wellbeing, how you can move the dial on them and how that plays into improving inclusivity and reducing inequality. We also have an important discussion on the “culture wars” which are raging at the minute. How should public professionals engage in these debates? How do you tackle difficult issues and call out poor behaviour at the risk of being lazily labelled as “woke”?

Dr. Richard Webby, faculty member at St Jude Children's Research Hospital and global expert on influenza viruses, joins Drs. Mike Brasher, Karen Waldrop, and DU staff for a look back on the 2022 Avian Flu outbreak. In this science-heavy episode we ask where it came from, is it here to stay, and what can we expect going forward? We also learn why it is showing up in mammals and what this means for our pets. Also, will mutations increase the human health risk and are waterfowl hunters at higher risk?www.ducks.org/DUPodcast

In this beat-dropping episode of our podcast, we dive deep into the world of DJ culture with Rob Webster, a.k.a Rob Webster. From his early influences and his journey through hip-hop and rave culture, to becoming a buyer of music and an influential figure in the Nottingham independent record shop scene, we cover it all. We explore the evolution of trance music in the 90s, Rob's step into music production, and how the club scene changed over time. Rob also shares his experiences of mentorship, dealing with ego as a resident DJ, and his transition into offering mentorship for aspiring DJs and producers. Tune in for an electrifying 1 hour 5 minutes of groovy tales and industry insights.

In this episode Wayne chats with media legend Rob Webster about digital measurement. Digital measurement is one of the highest priorities for advertisers today and Rob shares his experience and expertise on how they should consider the topic, particularly in light of the changes by Apple, Google and regulators.

Taking God at His Word "The Inspiration and Inerrancy of Scripture" Rob Webster April 23, 2023 by Evangelical Fellowship Church

If you are a clinician working in a paralysis tick area of Australia then you'll be well aware of the 2022 shortage of tick antiserum, and you very likely have some questions, like how do we ensure that we still do the best for our patients, where do our previous dose rates for TAS even come from, and why is it suddenly ok for us to use less? You might even be wondering how the vet boards will view deviations from the label dose if that's what we're required to do in response to the shortage. We've gathered some of the smartest people on the topic to get your questions answered. The smart people in question are Prof Rick Atwell, Dr Terry King, Dr Heather Russel and Dr Rob Webster, who are all members of the Tick Paralysis Advisory Panel, a group of veterinary and scientific experts who convene to review the latest scientific information regarding the prevention and management of tick paralysis to provide guidance and recommendations to vets and pet owners. This discussion covers what we know (and what we think we know!) about paralysis ticks, their toxins and how it relates to antiserum dose, as well as new insights around managing tick cases beyond just TAS. Visit VETAPEDIA.com.au for additional resources on tick paralysis and many other Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care guidelines from the team at Animal Emergency Australia.

Between challenges like climate despair and alternative climate facts, how can education give young people a fuller understanding of the scale and significance of critical climate change? With a PhD in glaciology and a background in geography education, Professor Nicola Walshe can attest to why Geography as a subject is well-placed to engage in the interdisciplinary nature of environmental and sustainability education. Hosting this episode, Dr Rob Webster asks Nicola about common challenges and misconceptions around climate change and sustainability, as well as what kinds of teaching approaches research has evidenced to be effective in closing gaps between awareness and behaviour. Professor Walshe also discusses the Eco-Capabilities project which explores the intersect of the natural environment, wellbeing, and the arts, and particularly how primary school children's wellbeing can be supported by nature-based interventions.

On this episode I speak with Mel Pickup, Chief Executive of Bradford Teaching Hospitals Trust, which is part of the West Yorkshire and Harrogate Integrated Care System. I have already spoken with Rob Webster, the ICS Chief Exec Lead, so it is was very interesting to get Mel's perspective as well. Mel is also the lead for the Bradford District and Craven “Place Based Partnership” which covers everything to do with health and wellbeing and involves collaboration between the NHS, councils and third/independent sector providers. We discuss how this works and what the evolving partnership has meant for the area's response to Covid-19. We discuss the changing nature of acute hospital care and some of the important cultural and operational changes which are encouraging everyone to work together to get people healthy and back in their communities. I was really heartened by this conversation and if Mel's approach and attitude is mirrored across the country then we might just see a significant step change in how the NHS works in partnership with other public services…

Spiritual Gifts "6 Common Questions about Spiritual Gifts" Rob Webster October 24, 2021 by Evangelical Fellowship Church

This episode is with Rob Webster. It is fascinating, inspiring and very timely. In 2016, Rob took up the Chief Executive job at the South West Yorkshire Partnership FT, which is a mental health provider. At the same time, he became the Executive Lead on what was then the West Yorkshire Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP). Since then, Rob has seconded over to be the full time Chief Executive Lead on what is now the highly regarded West Yorkshire and Harrogate Integrated Care System (ICS). The HSJ publishes a list of the top 50 NHS Chief Executives in the country and this year Rob was ranked number 1, which was the first time a leader from a mental health trust has been given that honour. The HSJ citation noted Rob's commitment to staff wellbeing and working in partnership and we explore those areas in detail as well as discussing the challenge of health inequality. We also talk about what is important when building a partnership across a wide geographic area and how they have managed to make such recognised progress in West Yorkshire and Harrogate. Is it good relationships? Is it good rules? Or is it a bit of both? I hope you enjoy it!

Dr Jennie Golding joins the podcast to discuss how her experiences in mathematics education informs views on the ways the curriculum may change over time. Dr Rob Webster hears from Dr Golding about the book series she has co-edited, “What Should Schools Teach? Disciplines, subjects and the pursuit of truth”, part of the “Knowledge and the Curriculum” series published by UCL Press. Using mathematics as a reference point, Dr Golding points to how thinking around knowledge points to its complementarity of different areas of the curriculum. The pair also discuss to what extent the features of a school curriculum are independent of time and context and the challenges it presents for teaching and learning in the future.

Digital everything! Our NEW WORKING LIFE series continues and this episode focuses on the challenges and opportunities that the COVID-19 crisis has created when it comes to the digital world. We talk to one of the smartest people we know when it comes to the digital world. After over 15 years in digital and data strategy management, Robert Webster co-founded Canton Marketing Solutions to help clients deliver truly integrated media and technology strategies, driving substantially improved ROI. In this fascinating interview, Rob reflects on what has made a big impact in terms of digital marketing over the past few months.

Professor Julie Dockrell speaks to Dr Rob Webster about how speech, language and communication are foundational to learning and achievement. What happens when a child struggles with these skills? Slow progress can be hidden by the logistics and pressures of the current school system, making oral language delay a less well-recognised disorder, which is in turn less supported as children move up through school years. Disorders such as development language disorder (DLD) represent the most extreme end of difficulties. Rob and Julie discuss reasons why some children might be slower than others to develop skills in this arena, and how they can be supported to overcome difficulties. We also hear examples of techniques that teachers can employ to create more opportunities for oral language development during classroom activities.

Professor Gemma Moss talks to Dr Rob Webster about what research has uncovered during COVID-19 and what this means for our education system moving forward. The pandemic has shone a light on the role of schools and their place in the community. You may have come across instances where teachers have gone above and beyond to ensure the welfare of children and their families by trying to meet gaps where existing health and social services have fallen short. In order to make sense of all this, Professor Moss has led a study to track teachers' responses to COVID-19 during lockdown and the reopening of schools. Over 1,600 teachers across England took part, with the results providing a series of insights that cannot be ignored. The pair also discuss what happens next - is it a return to business as usual? What are the alternatives? How do you cater for a more resilient education system?

In this episode, the team discusses the 11 September issue of Tes. We talk about the over feature from professor Rob Webster, who warns of the many intervention traps schools may fall into as they attempt to 'catch children up' academically. We also discuss this issue's Focus On - which looks at whether schools are drowning in 'bullshit'. WARNING: This episode does contain language that some may find offensive.

Dr Kate Cowan talks to Dr Rob Webster about how children interact and communicate, the challenges researchers face when conducting research with them, and the pandemic's effect on the way they play at home and school. An early years specialist, Kate's research focuses on play, creativity and digital technologies, and prior to joining the IOE, she worked as a nursery teacher and remains committed to connecting research and practice. We hear examples of this from the ‘Playing the Archive' project, which studied the ways children have played across the decades. You might be familiar with W.C. Fields' “Never work with animals or children” quote, but it appears that Kate has worked hard to push against the well-worn trope, employing multimodal methodologies to document and analyse play. Kate explains how using digital tools and involving children as co-researchers has benefitted her work. To wrap up season 4, Rob and Kate discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected play, how the virus has been incorporated into new and traditional games, the significance of digital play during lockdown, and what's in store for children as they return to school and interact with the outside world.

A look at how the evidence can help schools make informed decisions about the ways they group students and work towards equity and improving their life chances. “We don't learn mathematics from getting everything right, we learn mathematics from making mistakes… protecting children from those mistakes and errors really doesn't help their learning.” Dr Rob Webster and Professor Jeremy Hodgen discuss what attainment grouping looks like in England and what best practice looks like, his work with IOE colleagues on investigating the outcomes of mixed attainment grouping in mathematics and what effect the pandemic might have on existing grouping practices, and addressing anticipated learning loss.

The ongoing global debate over student loans and the cost of higher education has taken on new meaning of late. What effect will COVID-19 have on fairness and finances? Professor Lorraine Dearden takes Dr Rob Webster on a world tour focusing on the two main approaches to student loans - mortgage-style “time-based repayment loans” and “income-contingent loans”, based on future income. Why does one country choose one approach and another opts for something different? With the coronavirus pandemic bringing uncertainty across the board, what might be in store for the multitude of new graduates looking to enter the workforce during this time? Which country's students are likely to face greater anxieties and difficulties to repay or risk default? And of course, Rob and Lorraine also address the elephant in the room - free education.

Season 3 kicks off with Dr Rob Webster joined by Dr Sam Sims for a discussion about issues affecting the supply and quality of teachers. We unpack Sam's research which focuses on the challenges behind facing the supply of teachers, how they are recruited, how they are best retained. And what are the factors causing them to leave the profession - is it pay? Is it workload? And of course, COVID-19 has dramatically changed the game. Economic modelling and government policy has been shaken up and will affect our schools in so many ways. So how will these issues be addressed in the aftermath of the pandemic?

Dr Katherine Twamley talks to Dr Rob Webster about a multi-country research project to examine the impact of the coronavirus on everyday family life. What does the project aim to achieve? A specialist in gender, love and intimacy, feminism and families, Katherine is well-placed alongside her colleagues from the IOE's Thomas Coram Research Unit to lead an international consortium to investigate the challenges COVID-19 is placing upon us and how we are attempting to overcome them. FACT-Covid (Family and Community Transitions Under Covid) features research partners in the USA, Argentina, Chile, South Africa, Sweden, Taiwan, Pakistan and Singapore, all using a variety of data collection methods - diaries, interviews and mobile apps. As it becomes increasingly clear that men and women are facing unequal burdens and experiences of the pandemic worldwide, Katherine explains how the findings will allow for better understanding of how local policies and cultural practices have shaped individual responses and inform improvements for planning for future pandemics.

Professor Allison Littlejohn talks to Dr Rob Webster about how UCL has managed to move research and teaching online, and the impact it's had on staff and students. The second season of Research for the Real World takes a look at how the IOE is responding to global challenges - and global challenges don't come any greater than the Covid-19 pandemic. With her broad experience spanning across the health, energy and finance sectors, Allison explains how she became interested in the world of education and exploring the importance of learning in our everyday lives through the use of technology. This brings us nicely to her work investigating how universities are responding to the imposed shift of their core functions online. The UCL Moving to Online Teaching and Homeworking (MOTH) study examines how UCL staff are adapting to the challenges posed by COVID-19 upon their professional and personal lives. Allison shares some interesting insights and observations, ranging from newfound interdisciplinary collaboration, and unsurprisingly, demands on time and resource, and problems with technology. As the findings of the study are realised, what is this going to mean for the higher education sector? Allison also shares her thoughts about the opportunity for innovation and improved engagement, and how universities like UCL might respond moving forward.

Dr Rob Webster is joined by Professor Louise Archer to explore how challenging dominant representations and educational practices can help make this possible. Research led by Louise has found that students are interested in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), but certain factors stop them from moving into a relevant career in the field. So what's holding them back? We also learn about the concept of ‘Science Capital', the concept developed by Louise and the ASPIRES project team to help understand patterns in science participation and engagement, and how it is applied in schools and in other educational settings. We also find out how Louise and her colleagues approach their research projects, even before any fieldwork starts, and before any results are shared. The pair also discuss how the current climate emergency and the coronavirus pandemic might foster a new generation of scientists. What can policymakers do to help realise that interest?

In this episode, Dr Rob Webster is joined by Professor Alice Sullivan to explore how the act of reading for pleasure as a child has positive influences that extend to later in life. First of all, we find out what is reading for pleasure, and what makes it different from other kinds of reading styles? Is it teachable? Are there differences in the impacts between printed and digital material? Using data from the 1970 British Cohort Study (BCS70) which follows the lives of over 17,000 people born that year, Alice and Matt Brown analysed the changes in vocabulary between the ages of 16 and 42. The research found that those children who read for pleasure made more progress in vocabulary and maths than their peers - and those that continued reading into middle-age experienced larger vocabulary gains from reading high-brow fiction. We also try to understand the importance of longitudinal data and how it informs research findings in many areas at each stage of life. How do participants in large-scale studies such as BCS70 feel about this? Alice also explains the kind of role policymakers, schools and families can play to foster a lifelong love of reading. Perhaps during these times of social distancing and isolation, it's an opportunity to recapture that love and appreciation of reading?

Dr. Rob Webster is an emergency and critical care specialist and one of the founding members of Animal Emergency Australia, a group of emergency clinics in southeastern Queensland.  Outside of his clinical and leadership roles within the practice he has also trained and mentored large numbers of vets and vet nurses, inspiring them with his boundless energy and infectious enthusiasm. We pinned him down in his garden in far northern Queensland to see if we could extract some of that wisdom for our own good and yours, and he did not disappoint! We cover valuable ground, such as how he approaches challenges in the face of fear and uncertainty, despite feeling completely overwhelmed. He gives us his views on charting a career path, on whether to specialise or not. Rob even gives us a few study tips and tells us what he thinks one of the best things is that you can commit your time to, and on why you should always listen to your mother. Please join us in this fascinating conversation with Dr. Rob, and be inspired! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/vet-vault/message

With schools struggling to recruit and teacher training targets being regularly missed, the TA workforce is surely a resource to be utilised. With over 260,000 TAs in the UK, upskilling just a fraction of these experienced classroom aficionados would help stem the shortage.So what’s the catch? We speak to UCL Institute of Education’s Rob Webster, who leads the Maximising the Impact of Teaching Assistants initiative, about how TAs can make the step up.We also talk to Niall Robinson, a former TA and now a year-5 teacher, about how he found the transition to qualified teacher status.This sponsored podcast was produced in association with Tes Institute, who have helped many TAs become qualified teachers through their Straight to Teaching course.Find out more about Tes Institute’s Straight to Teaching course here.

IOE Public Debates: The Warnock Report is 40 years old in 2018. The Report marked a pivotal change in the provision of education for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), but much has changed in the intervening years. Baroness Mary Warnock reflects on the report and developments since in this conversation with Rob Webster, Director of the Maximising the Impact of Teaching Assistants (MITA) project at the UCL Centre for Inclusive Education. #IOEDebates reflected on Baroness Warnock's remarks and recommendations from the committee named after her, as well as discussing the future of SEND: http://bit.ly/2Cxj5nd

“If we said, ‘On Monday, when you go back to school, there will be no teaching assistants (TAs)', I doubt very much schools would make it to the end of the week,” says Rob Webster, an academic at the UCL Institute of Education (IoE). “TAs are the mortar in the brickwork.” Webster heads up the Maximising the Impact of Teaching Assistants initiative for the UCL Centre for Inclusive Education and is one of the country's leading researchers into the role of TAs. In this episode, he talks about how the role of TAs has been under appreciated and largely ignored by government. “You would struggle to find a speech, or substantive bit of a speech, by an education minister that deals with support staff, or specifically teaching assistants,” he explains. “That is a curiosity when you consider the numbers: there are around 390,000 people working in schools as a teaching assistant or similar. It is a lot of people, and it is estimated it costs the system £5bn per year. So why would successive governments not have anything to say about them?” He believes this “policy blackhole” from government about what a TA should be doing has given rise to bad practice in schools. “As a teacher, it is easy to think that if I have someone to take those five or six children [with SEND] and they will give them the small group attention they need, then that must be a good thing, and I can concentrate on everyone else,” he says. “It is seen as a win win. But there are unintended consequences of that. “You ask schools what TAs do, they tell you they support children with SEN, support learning, support the teacher. But what does good support look like? That gets very fuzzy. We need to pin down as a system what we think good support is. Without that, we will always get patchy practice, and a drift towards what looks like it is most helpful, but that is not.” Do we know what good support looks like? Webster details the research that gives us a good idea on what works. “When you have TAs delivering highly structured interventions, the outcomes are profoundly positive,” he says. “We know that when used properly, when they supplement teaching, delivering structured interventions, TAs are really effective.”
