It is how I respond to my world. I am driven by mood and intuition. I always begin outside. In that sense I am a landscape painter. Seasonal changes catch my attention and I can rarely resist the changing colours and textures of the natural year. I sketch and paint in watercolour, charcoal or oil then return to the studio where I make larger mixed media pieces guided by memory and feeling. Work gets cut down, torn up, collaged and reformed.

  • 5 Surveillance of the Antibiotic Susceptibility of Bacteria Found in the Urinary Tract in the West Midlands Over a Four Year Period
    An investigation into the relationship between antimicrobial prescribing and antimicrobial resistance in urinary tract infections at a population level By Dean Ironmonger A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Institute of Microbiology and Infection College of Medical and Dental Sciences University of Birmingham December 2017 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract Inappropriate use of antibiotics is a key factor in the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). UK national guidance has been ineffective in standardising the management of infections in the community. Many community prescribers are sceptical that their actions have an effect on AMR in their locality. As part of this study, routine surveillance of AMR in a large regional population was established. To help interpret surveillance data, two surveys were undertaken: a survey of laboratory methods, and a survey of GP sampling and prescribing protocols. Using these survey results, surveillance tools were developed to provide hospital and community prescribers with data on antibiotic resistance in bacteria within their locality; and enable laboratories to compare methods for determining antibiotic susceptibility.

ON THE DISCOVERT OF A BED OF DEVONIAN CORALS AT WITHYCOMBE, WEST SOMERSET. To the Editor of the GEOLOGICAL MAGAZINE. SIB,—There is a band of Limestone, mentioned by Sir H. de la Beche, in his Geological Report on Cornwall, Devon, and West Somerset, which is traceable at intervals from Ilfracombe to Withy- combe, the intervening localities being Combe Martin, Simonsbath, Cutcombe, Duxborough, and Treborough, and to quote his words, " if we be right in referring the Limestone of the Quantocks to the same band, it is carried round by Doddington, Asholt, and Cothel- stone Park, the connection being concealed by the Red Sandstone series, the Lias, and the Sea." The existence of Coral-beds in the portion of this Limestone band exposed in the Quantocks has been ascertained by Mr. J. D. Pring, of Taunton, and the only genera and species that I at present know to have been found in them—though doubtless there are many others—are the following: viz., Alveolites suborbicidaris, Favosites polymorpha (cervicornis, M.
