Clinical Tools: A DIY catalogue for the creative

Instead of encouraging the purchasing of new technologies for medical training, this textbook, in the form of a catalogue, focuses on sharing examples of creative tools that already exist. This issue also offers a practical guide for how to make these tools, encouraging using local resources. Ever considered where your learning tools come from as you study or teach medicine? So many teaching materials in medicine are mass-produced, environmentally unfriendly, and reproduce the same kind of bodies. We need a drastic rethinking of our teaching tools. But rather than new inventions, what if the innovations we need are already out there? Our first issue of Clinical Tools: A DIY Catalogue for the Creative celebrates the abundance of ideas for teaching materials that already exist in medical education. Inside you will find gorgeous illustrations, clear instructions for how to make tools and insightful essays exploring the ideas behind DIY in medical education. Get your making supplies ready! This open textbook is designed for nursing, medical and other healthcare students and teachers across bachelor’s, undergraduate and postgraduate, master’s level, especially those enrolled in courses on clinical training. It is also relevant to other practitioners and learners working in healthcare contexts who continue to engage in educational activities. The textbook is intended to help students learn about and create their own teaching tools, whether they are working in obstetrics, surgery, or general medicine. The book supports learning by doing: students and teachers can read and adapt the instructions, use the included suggestions, and connect to what is available and relevant in their own healthcare contexts. It is also suitable for instructors seeking accessible, reusable teaching material that can be integrated into classroom teaching, assignments, and research-led education across healthcare education settings. In plaats van het aanschaffen van nieuwe technologieën voor medisch onderwijs aan te moedigen, richt dit studieboek, in de vorm van een catalogus, zich op het delen van voorbeelden van creatieve hulpmiddelen die al bestaan. Deze uitgave biedt daarnaast een praktische handleiding voor het maken van deze hulpmiddelen en stimuleert het gebruik van lokale middelen en materialen. Heb je je tijdens het leren of onderwijzen van geneeskunde ooit afgevraagd waar je leermiddelen vandaan komen? Veel onderwijsmaterialen in de geneeskunde worden op grote schaal geproduceerd, zijn belastend voor het milieu en tonen steeds weer dezelfde soorten lichamen. We moeten onze manier van denken over onderwijsmiddelen drastisch herzien. Maar in plaats van nieuwe uitvindingen te ontwikkelen: wat als de innovaties die we nodig hebben al bestaan? Ons eerste deel van Clinical Tools: A DIY Catalogue for the Creative viert de overvloed aan ideeën voor onderwijsmaterialen die al binnen het medisch onderwijs bestaan. In deze uitgave vind je prachtige illustraties, duidelijke instructies voor het maken van hulpmiddelen en inzichtelijke essays waarin de ideeën achter doe-het-zelf (DIY) in het medisch onderwijs worden verkend. Maak je materialen maar alvast klaar! Dit open studieboek is bedoeld voor studenten en docenten in de verpleegkunde, geneeskunde en andere zorgopleidingen, op bachelor-, undergraduate-, postgraduate- en masterniveau, en in het bijzonder voor degenen die onderwijs volgen of geven binnen opleidingen en cursussen gericht op klinische training. Het boek is ook relevant voor andere professionals en lerenden die werkzaam zijn in de zorg en zich blijven bezighouden met onderwijsactiviteiten. Het studieboek is bedoeld om studenten te helpen bij het leren over én het zelf ontwikkelen van onderwijshulpmiddelen, of zij nu werkzaam zijn binnen de verloskunde, chirurgie of algemene geneeskunde. Het boek ondersteunt leren door te doen: studenten en docenten kunnen de instructies lezen en aanpassen, gebruikmaken van de opgenomen suggesties en aansluiten bij wat beschikbaar en relevant is binnen hun eigen zorgcontext. Het is ook geschikt voor docenten die op zoek zijn naar toegankelijk en herbruikbaar onderwijsmateriaal dat kan worden geïntegreerd in klassikaal onderwijs, opdrachten en onderwijs dat gebaseerd is op onderzoek binnen verschillende zorgopleidingen en -contexten.

The Digital Age: What about Human Values? | Radboud Reflects Lecture with Tamar Sharon

How can we make room for the human dimension in a world that is becoming increasingly digitized? Digitization seems to be the solution to everything: problems in education, healthcare, and even the justice system. How can we continue to make room for other essential values such as creativity, empathy, caring for one another, privacy, cooperation, or the right to a fair trial? Listen to philosopher Tamar Sharon, who argues that digitization has become our new framework for thinking. She points out the dangers of this: is human dignity being compromised? The Digital Age: What about Human Values? | Silent-interview with political philosopher Tamar Sharon Denkwerk 2026 | Saturday 7 March 2026 | De Lindenberg, Nijmegen Radboud Reflects and Faculty of Philosophy, Theology and Religious Studies

The Matter of Hospitals

This book invites readers to discover never-before-told stories of hospitals through an unusual assortment of materials, offering a unique and timely glimpse into one of society’s most feared, essential, and sensorially rich institutions. Hospitals, with their distinctive smells, acute pain, births, writhing bodies, incessant beeping, endless waiting, cardboard food and never-ending corridors, have fascinated writers for centuries. Edited by the prize-winning author of A Sensory Education and Making Sense of Medicine, this book shares a never-before-told story of hospitals through an unusual collection of objects. A great deal that matters happens in hospitals – from new life to the end of life. There is also a great deal of matter, in its material form, within hospitals. Sometimes there is too much: when we see the mountains of clinical waste with dirty syringes and used gloves. Sometimes there is too little: when we saw empty pharmacy shelves during the pandemic. More often, matter circulates in ways that are taken for granted, invisible yet critical to how hospitals function. Each essay in this book takes the matter of hospitals as a starting point to explore broader themes. Organised alphabetically, The Matter of Hospitals investigates what we can learn from the institution’s materiality about creativity, waste, patient care, community, attention and design. From ‘A’ for atmosphere to ‘Z’ for zips, each essay is a close sensory study of what seem, on the surface, to be mundane things. Beautifully illustrated with artistic photographs and hand-drawn illustrations by the editor, The Matter of Hospitals offers an inspiring and unique examination of the stuff that so many of us take for granted, in a place that we never do.

Adaptive Expertise Assessment

Adaptive expertise verwijst naar het vermogen van individuen om hun kennis op innovatieve wijze te hercombineren om onbekende problemen op te lossen. Deze vaardigheid is essentieel voor interdisciplinair werken, en het effectief aanpakken van grote maatschappelijke uitdagingen. Wat Op deze pagina zijn te vinden: • Adaptive Expertise scenario’s. Deze kunnen ingezet worden om de adaptive expertise van studenten te meten. • Een link naar een voorbeeldassessment waarin de Adaptive Expertise scenario’s worden gebruikt. Binnenkort verschijnt op deze pagina een link naar een boekhoofdstuk waarin de theoretische achtergrond en toepassing van de Adaptive Expertise scenario’s worden toegelicht. Voor wie De materialen zijn bedoeld voor onderwijskundig adviseurs, beleidsmakers, curriculumontwikkelaars, docenten en onderzoekers in het hoger onderwijs, met name binnen interprofessionele en praktijkgerichte opleidingen. Waarom Het stimuleren van adaptive expertise draagt bij aan de ontwikkeling van veerkrachtige, reflectieve en lerende studenten en professionals. Door adaptive expertise te meten kunnen docenten beter inspelen op hoe studenten zich ontwikkelen als oplossers van maatschappelijke problemen buiten hun eigen kennisdomain.

Responsible Anticipation and Visioneering

This exercise targets the development of students' capacities to critically analyze existing technological visions and enables them to create their own responsible socio-technical visions. Through group work and discussions, students examine technological promises embedded in anticipation discourses, uncover hidden values and assumptions, and develop alternative narratives that can guide engineering practice and policy decisions

Transitioning towards a circular (healthcare) economy - BOOK

This book offers a comprehensive roadmap toward a circular and sustainable healthcare system, structured into three distinct parts. Part I describes circular principles and policy tactics. Chapter 1 outlines the essentials of sustainable healthcare and designates the paradox in daily practice of sustainability and the circular economy. In Chapter 2 the impact of leadership on policy together with best practices is discussed. The legislation and infrastructural web, in which many stakeholders and circular economy initiatives are strangled, is described. Despite the fact that politicians and policymakers are motivated to encourage sustainability, the infrastructure is designed to discourage circular economy projects. This chapter shows examples of setting-up intrinsic motivated teams of hospital staff, green teams, industry leaders and scientific motivated research teams. Swimming against the current is about the legislation paradox. In chapter 3 described as how legislation should be redesigned to accomplish the goals as set out in the green deal and the climate law. Part II serves as a practical guide to implementing circular strategies. In chapter 4 the reader is guided through the fundamentals of circular strategies by visualizing the circular economy. Chapter 5 reveals successful design strategies for products and processes which contribute to a zero-waste society. Using recycled materials by using waste as input for new products is described in chapter 6. In chapter 6 we will explore (surgical) waste as input for new products. Recycled should and could be used more. This is a fundamental concept within circular design principles but hardly used until this moment. Part III explores circular economy design principles on basis of successful examples. This part dives into real-world applications and measurable outcomes. It showcases successful circular design concepts and business models that have reshaped the market. Chapter 7: Is about leading by design. Success stories of circular concepts which have effectively changed the market with circular products and services are designated. Also entrepreneurial success stories of circular economy business models are presented. Chapter 8 investigates how to measuring effectiveness and impact of circular economy products and processes. In particular how reliable some facts are which are used by many to sell products or introduce new policies or legislation. How trustworthy is data from life cycle assessments (LCA’s)? What are the pitfalls? Is it possible to manipulate these data? Why should we characterize one-sided data from an LCA as greenwashing? Circular Economy principles, sustainability and, in broader sense, the climate discussion seem to trigger emotions. Using fundamental and reliable data is essential in order to be able to judge whether a product or process indeed reduces CO2 emissions is essential in decision-making. Chapter 9 focusses on how universities can contribute to sustainable solutions by presenting different cases which resulted in actual results which were implemented or are ready for upscaling. The role of universities as innovation hubs is highlighted through case studies with proven impact. The final chapter offers a reflective and forward-looking analysis on how circular strategies in healthcare can shape future societal developments. The authors reflect on the content in chapter 10. A final part in which a critical analysis is presented and the impact it could have on future developments and the society.
