A core value of the Australian and New Zealand Association for Health Professional Educators (ANZAHPE) is to be a nurturing organisation. As part of being a nurturing organisation, ANZAHPE enshrines the value of mentorship. In this paper, we explore the roles of mentors and coaches. We look at how these roles might adapt over the next 50 years to assist novices to understand their workplace culture in order to enable them to function, survive and thrive within this context. We further propose that the respective roles of mentors and coaches will become increasingly distinct from each other to optimise the support that is available for new health professionals, educators and researchers as they enter the workforce and prepare for lifelong learning and scholarship.

Bactericera cockerelli Sulc, the potato / tomato psyllid (Solanum tuberosum and S. lycopersicum), is recognized as a threat to the production of solanaceous crops because it is an efficient vector of the bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum (CaLso) in the American continent, Europe, and New Zealand. The biological and genetic characteristics of the insect make its management difficult, and so do the high number of host, refuge. and feeding plants in which it can be found. Furthermore, the influence of climate change has caused psyllid populations to establish and colonize new areas and countries. At present, the psyllid vectors of microorganisms that cause diseases in plants are widely distributed, and studies are being carried out to understand the impact of their populations on intensive agricultural production systems. In the last decade, studies on the application of new biological control and management techniques have also increased aiming to count on fast and efficient alternatives for reducing the effects on crops and economy. A total of 74 scientific papers related to the host plants of these insect vectors, their biological and chemical control strategies, and the novel alternatives for their management were analysed. In order to maintain surveillance over the vector, the present status of the identification of these species in Cuba, the situation concerning the presence of the cultivation system. -psilid-CaLso in the world and the American and Caribbean regions, as well as the possible implications of the presence of these species for the Cuban agriculture were studied in depth.

Global food security could be threatened in the coming years by the emergence and spread of emerging pests in crops. Psyllids are considered as possible destructive pests due to their relationships with some important plant pathogens. Bactericera cockerelli Sulc (Hemiptera: Triozidae) is recognized as an efficient vector of the bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum (CaLsol), an invasive pest according to the EPPO, which causes diseases in potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, and other solanaceous and some apiaceous crops. Known the vector-bacteria complex to be present in different countries of the world belonging to the American continent, Europe and New Zealand, 61 scientific papers related to this topic were reviewed. Changes in the climatic variables, the biological distribution of this insect-vector system, the high ecological plasticity that allows this insect to develop different biotypes, depending on the characteristics of the area where it develops, could complicate the control of the insect-pathogen system. These characteristics make necessary a maintained extreme surveillance in those countries where it is not yet present. So far, the bacterium and the vector are not present in Cuba; however, its proximity to countries where it is present, the existence of optimal climatic conditions host plants, and the increasing tourism and international trade, make necessary to offer updated information on this disease, the causal agents and their vectors as a contribution to the preparation of the scientific-technical-productive personnel and other decission makers.

Introduction: The Rural Inter-Professional Simulation Course (RiSC) in New Zealand is a 3-day immersive course that brings rural doctors and nurses together to practise emergency and trauma skills using workshops and a simulation-enhanced interprofessional experience (SEIPE). The course aims to increase practitioners' psychomotor skills, communication, teamwork and leadership skills through simulationbased learning and translate this into the management of trauma in rural settings. Methods: This study employed an exploratory, descriptive design to explore transfer of learning from RiSC into clinical practice 8 months post course participation. Six registered nurses who participated in RiSC took part in semi-structured interviews. The transcribed interviews were analysed using a general inductive approach. Results: The nurses valued the learning experience in RiSC and used the skills they learnt in clinical practice, however factors such as their perception of the authenticity of the scenario and performance anxiety impacted the SEIPE. The nurses also observed interprofessional dynamics playing out during the SEIPE. Conclusions: RiSC is effective for rural trauma team training, however some aspects of the use of simulation in interprofessional education could be further enhanced. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
