 abstract = {Fetal bovine serum (FBS) is a common supplement to in vitro culture media. A workshop was organized to discuss whether or not fetuses might suffer when blood is withdrawn, and to discuss serum replacement methods. When bovine fetuses are exposed after slaughter of the dam, they can suffer only if they inflate their lungs with air and increase their blood oxygen to levels compatible with awareness. Preventing fetuses from breathing air or killing them by an efficient method, according to clearly defined safeguards, ensures that fetal blood collection is humane. Since serum is a supplement of unknown composition, which could be contaminated with unwanted factors, there are scientific and safety reasons for omitting FBS from culture media. Several media have been developed in which minimal or no animal derived components are present. Also, different cell types have been adapted to serum-free media. As yet, no standard serum free media are present, and each cell type requires its own medium composition. Among other recommendations, the establishment of a public database with information on cell types and their serum-free medium composition is proposed.}

+               purpose of this study was to describe pharmacy students'
+               understanding of the terms professionalism and professional
+               identity and the elements of formal and informal curricular
+               activities that may contribute to professional identity
+               formation. METHODS: This anonymous cross-sectional survey was
+               administered to pharmacy students in years one through five at
+               all 10 Canadian pharmacy schools with the help of local Canadian
+               Association of Pharmacy Students and Interns representatives.
+               Students were first asked to define professionalism and
+               professional identity and then were provided with a definition
+               of professional identity to support their statements as to what
+               experiences were meaningful in its development. Both an
+               inductive and deductive approach were used for thematic analysis
+               of written responses alongside descriptive statistics. RESULTS:
+               A total of 172 students responded. Most students were from the
+               University of Alberta and were evenly distributed through years
+               one through four of pharmacy. Key themes emerged of the
+               traditional view of professionalism, expanding the six tenets
+               defined by the American College of Clinical Pharmacy to include
+               responsibility and accountability. Pharmacy students'
+               definitions of professional identity more often included facets

+               role-modelling as playing a key role in professional identity
+               development. CONCLUSIONS: Most pharmacy students were unable to
+               formally define professional identity; however when prompted

 Our aim is to investigate peripheral vascular effects of pulmonary hypertension (PAH) and obesity. To do that, aorta and mesenteric arteries isolated from rats exposed to hypoxia (PAH animal model) and treated for 10 weeks with chow or high fat diet will be investigated. Histological visualization and remodelling of aorta and mesenteric arteries will be assessed by haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. Fibrosis and arterial stiffness will be assessed by picrosirius red and elastin staining, respectively.

+#### Project Team

+
+#### Project outline
+
+New [Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) standards](https://www.gov.scot/publications/medication-assisted-treatment-mat-standards-scotland-access-choice-support/), alongside increasing acknowledgment of the importance of Trauma Informed Care (TIC) [@Chisholm-Burns2023-sl], will assist community pharmacy to better support people with substance dependency. Little is known about the culture and professionalism that exists within community pharmacy staff in Scotland relating to their role with people with substance dependency, although research indicates the pharmacy setting can be a stigmatising environment which may contribute to health inequalities [@Radley2017-nt]. Professional identity, and how it relates to the provision of patient-centred care, is an important consideration for the role of pharmacists whilst the scope of practice is expanding. Students, foundation pharmacists, and newly qualified community pharmacists will be forming their professional identify and can offer unique perspective on the culture and professionalism within this context. 
+
+#### Project aim
+
+To explore the perceptions of the professionalism within community pharmacy culture, in the context of people with substance dependency, through the lens of student and newly qualified pharmacists. 
+
+#### Methods
+
+The internship will follow on from work undertaken by six final year pharmacy students from Sept 2023 until Feb 2024, which will involve exploration of Professionalism (as a factor of how people ‘act’ and ‘think’) and Professional Identity (how they ‘feel’) [@Chadha2022-wp]. The internship may involve reviewing literature, undertaking thematic analysis of interview data, writing reports / publications, developing visual research outputs, and/or performing research interviews. You will have close supervision and support throughout. 
+
+#### Output
+
+The findings will offer insight into the existing professionalism and culture within Scottish community pharmacies and the extent to which the MAT standards and TIC principles are currently embedded in practice. Furthermore, the findings will indicate how early experiences in community pharmacy practice influence professional identity with scope to develop training interventions. The results will inform the development of a UK-wide questionnaire with larger cohorts to aid in the exploration and implementation of MAT and TIC principles.
