Personal health budgets: Top 10 tips for effective implementation by Vidhya A...In-Control Partnerships
The document provides the top 10 tips for effectively implementing personal health budgets. The tips include ensuring flexibility in how budgets can be used and held, providing information locally about how budgets work, allowing people to know their budget amounts upfront, addressing health and well-being beyond just clinical treatment, providing flexibility in choice without restrictive menus, treating individuals as partners respecting their expertise, offering ongoing support for all who need it, keeping the process simple and minimizing bureaucracy, encouraging positive risk-taking with documented risks in care plans, developing the market through coproduction to ensure choice, and conducting regular reviews based on outcomes responding to individual needs.Intelligent transparency
Jeremy Hunt advocates for "intelligent transparency" in the healthcare system, which involves an open conversation with the public about improving health. Intelligent transparency unleashes self-directed improvement and allows for true devolution of power through transparency of outcomes. It fosters a learning culture where doctors, nurses and managers are empowered to constantly improve care for patients. The goal of intelligent transparency is to engage the public in their health, support informed choice for patients, improve safety and quality of care, and create a more patient-centered system. Several government initiatives aim to achieve intelligent transparency through making quality and performance data publicly available and accessible online via sites like "My NHS."

Current work includes public engagement, legal agreements, and building disease registries.
Dan corry presentation
This document summarizes a debate about the role of the voluntary sector in health and social care. It discusses how the voluntary sector can help move towards a new era of partnership between health and social care. While integrating health and social care seems logical, cultural and structural barriers have prevented it from happening. The voluntary sector is well-positioned to play a big role because charities consider the whole person and all their needs, not just medical issues. The document also examines specific areas where more work is needed, such as how the health service can better partner with charities, how charities can save the health service money through prevention and addressing social determinants of health, and how charities can influence and create systems change within health care

Integration : Brian Slater
Integration is about more than just technical and bureaucratic changes - it requires a new approach to planning services with a shared vision and shift in culture. Additional funding alone will not solve challenges facing the NHS, fundamental reform is needed to deliver care in a new way. Intermediate care services are designed to prevent hospital admission or facilitate faster discharge through a coordinated, holistic approach providing time-limited support to maintain independence at home.
Hwb2011
HWBs are expected to (1) accredit and assess CCGs, approve their plans and budgets, and refer disagreements to the national board. (2) Develop joint strategic needs assessments and understand the impact of cost-cutting locally. (3) Champion public health and reduce inequalities. However, getting diverse stakeholders including GPs, councils, users, and the national board to agree will be challenging. HWBs must seek evidence-based, long-term solutions while building trust between sectors.
NHS 5YFV Vanguards-Rob Vickers presentation
Robin Vickers is the CEO of Digital Life Sciences, a technology partner to Modality Partnership. Modality Partnership is a group of primary care practices in Birmingham that has transformed healthcare delivery through technology. It started in 2009 with one practice and 70,000 patients, and has since expanded its footprint and implemented digital services. These services include an online platform that allows patients to access care via phone, video, or website. The digital services have improved access for patients, increased clinical capacity by 10%, and reduced no-show rates by 72%. Modality aims to continue expanding its model of technology-enabled, scalable primary care.
Sarah Hurcombe- Urgent Care
The document summarizes a social action fund in the UK called the Reducing Pressures on Hospitals Fund. The fund aims to [1] mobilize volunteers to provide support services that reduce demands on hospitals, [2] test existing local volunteer-based approaches across 7 pilot sites, and [3] provide rapid response funding to 30 additional areas. Initial results found that over 500 volunteers were mobilized across the pilot sites, supporting over 6,300 people and leveraging over £1 million in additional local funding. Lessons learned emphasized the importance of securing early buy-in from local leaders, clearly defining volunteer roles, and tailoring services to local needs and assets.
The reality of an integrated digital care record
The document discusses plans to implement an integrated digital care record system called the Lincolnshire Care Portal. It summarizes the challenges of the local health and care system including an aging population, long travel times between sites, and financial pressures. It outlines the history of efforts to develop the Care Portal, lessons learned, and the current plan which involves procuring a system from InterSystems and initially sharing records from various acute, mental health, primary care, and community systems. The benefits of the Care Portal are expected to include improved clinical decision making, quality of care, and cost effectiveness by reducing duplication. Risks include potential issues with system immaturity, lack of organization engagement, and information governance concerns.
NHS 5YFV Vanguards- George Mcnamara presentation
This document discusses challenges and opportunities around improving dementia care through voluntary sector partnerships with NHS Vanguard sites. It notes that while some progress has been made in dementia care, transformational change is still needed. It then highlights issues around dementia patients in hospitals, care homes, and receiving home care. The document goes on to discuss how Vanguard sites and devolution deals can help raise ambitions by focusing on system and societal change. It provides an example of the Sutton Vanguard's work to enhance health in care homes through partnerships with Alzheimer's Society. Finally, it outlines outcomes of such partnerships but also barriers that must be overcome, such as developing consistent understanding of the voluntary sector's role.

Serving families and youth experiencing homelessness in rural communities includes a distinct set of obstacles that are not always covered in larger discussions about homelessness. In this interactive workshop, audience members and presenters will discuss the problems their communities have faced and how they have attempted to overcome them, with additional discussion on opportunities and challenges associated with HEARTH Act implementation.6.10 Judith Samuels
This document discusses targeting services for homeless families with the highest needs. It notes that the homeless population is heterogeneous with multiple goals for providers that have limited resources. It questions how to identify families with the highest needs and what needs are related to homelessness. It proposes targeting services based on risk factors like very young mothers, children with disabilities, or involvement in child welfare. Research on patterns of shelter use identified categories like single or repeated short-term episodes that could inform targeting timeframes and intensities of services. The document advocates sorting families later to provide short-term transitional services initially before reassessing needs and stepping up assistance if required.

The document summarizes findings about the rising elderly homeless population in the United States. It found that while homelessness is still relatively rare among those over 62, the rates are increasing as the overall population ages. Economic vulnerability has remained stable, but the elderly rely heavily on affordable housing programs. With the aging population, the number of homeless elderly is projected to increase by 33% by 2020 and double by 2050 unless more affordable, permanent housing units are created and homeless older adults are placed into housing.

Key points covered include assessing data on length of stay, recidivism rates, and costs per exit to housing. Partnerships that focus on common outcome measures and self-assessment are recommended. Financial incentives can be used directly, such as requiring certain approaches, or indirectly, by funding evidence-based practices. Governance structures like a mayor's office or ten year plan entity can also support performance improvement goals.

3.3 Emergency Housing Solutions for Runaway and Homeless Youth
Speaker: Debbie Powell
When young people run away from home or are thrown out, they need a safe place to stay in order to work on reunifying with family or finding housing. Youth shelters, often called basic centers, are those safe places. Basic centers play a key role in keeping youth away from dangers they would face on the streets or in the home of a stranger and help to facilitate a return to family or other permanent housing placement. This workshop will focus on best practice.

This document discusses shelter diversion as a strategy to reduce homelessness. Shelter diversion identifies individuals and families at risk of homelessness and provides assistance to prevent them from entering emergency shelters. The goals are to provide early intervention through assessment and problem-solving to divert clients to other assistance options instead of shelters. Key principles are to determine if shelter is needed, divert to other prevention assistance whenever possible, and make shelter admission a last resort. Diversion focuses on crisis intervention and resolving immediate housing needs through expedited assistance and short-term housing plans. Staff require special skills for rapid assessment of housing options and resources. Data is collected on diversion outcomes. Questions address implementing diversion across agencies or regions and linking it to homelessness prevention programs.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
Gene Expression System-viral gene delivery Mpharm(Pharamaceutics)
Gene therapy can be broadly defined as the transfer of genetic material to cure a disease or at least to improve the clinical status of a patient.
One of the basic concepts of gene therapy is to transform viruses into genetic shuttles, which will deliver the gene of interest into the target cells.
Safe methods have been devised to do this, using several viral and non-viral vectors.
In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient's cells instead of using drugs or surgery.
The biggest hurdle faced by medical research in gene therapy is the availability of effective gene-carrying vectors that meet all of the following criteria:
Protection of transgene or genetic cargo from degradative action of systemic and endonucleases,
Delivery of genetic material to the target site, i.e., either cell cytoplasm or nucleus,
Low potential of triggering unwanted immune responses or genotoxicity,
Economical and feasible availability for patients .
Viruses are naturally evolved vehicles that efficiently transfer their genes into host cells.
Choice of viral vector is dependent on gene transfer efficiency, capacity to carry foreign genes, toxicity, stability, immune responses towards viral antigens and potential viral recombination.
There are a wide variety of vectors used to deliver DNA or oligo nucleotides into mammalian cells, either in vitro or in vivo.
The most common vector system based on retroviruses, adenoviruses, herpes simplex viruses, adeno associated viruses.

Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. “Psychiatry and the Humanities”: An Innovative Course at the University of Mo...

chemistry investigatory project
The development of nanogold-based cancer therapy could revolutionize oncology by providing a more targeted, less invasive treatment option. This project contributes to the growing body of research aimed at harnessing nanotechnology for medical applications, paving the way for future clinical trials and potential commercial applications.
Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, prompting the need for innovative treatment methods. Nanotechnology offers promising new approaches, including the use of gold nanoparticles (nanogold) for targeted cancer therapy. Nanogold particles possess unique physical and chemical properties that make them suitable for drug delivery, imaging, and photothermal therapy.
Pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes
This presentation gives information on the pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes i.e. Eicosanoids. Eicosanoids are signaling molecules derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids like arachidonic acid. They are involved in complex control over inflammation, immunity, and the central nervous system. Eicosanoids are synthesized through the enzymatic oxidation of fatty acids by cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes. They have short half-lives and act locally through autocrine and paracrine signaling.
