A piebalgs creating an energy revolution across the developing worldDr Lendy Spires
The document is a speech by Andris Piebalgs, the European Commissioner for Development, about creating an "energy revolution" across the developing world.
Piebalgs discusses the EU's approach to ending energy poverty, which stresses the need for sector reforms, private sector promotion, and ensuring necessary support for reforms. He highlights the EU's goal of helping developing countries provide sustainable energy access to 500 million people by 2030. The EU has allocated over 3 billion euros to support sustainable energy activities.
Piebalgs then outlines the EU's focus on three key framework conditions to enable investment: strong political ownership, sufficient implementation capacity, and delivering financing and rapid results. He introduces a new EU initiative called ElectriFI that
The document summarizes the findings and recommendations of the Commission on the Future of Health and Social Care in England. It identifies three key problems with the current system: it is unfair, funding is separate between health and social care, and services are not well coordinated. The Commission recommends a new system that 1) commissions health and social care together, 2) simplifies access and increases personal control, and 3) increases free social care provision over time. However, these changes would require more funding. The Commission believes the costs can be covered through tax increases focused on those who can afford to pay more, and that the reformed system would be more efficient and achieve better outcomes.

Everlasting care: Andrew Dilnot lecture on a lasting solution to the social c...ResolutionFoundation
This document summarizes a lecture on finding a lasting solution to the social care crisis in the UK. It discusses how the aging population is increasing the demand for social care services and the costs are not adequately addressed by the current means-tested system. Reform proposals are presented that would introduce a lifetime cap on social care costs to provide financial protection for individuals and enable private market solutions to develop. The Conservative government has taken initial steps to implement a cap but more comprehensive reform is still needed to truly address the challenges of social care funding.
This document summarizes recent UK policy changes and their implications for volunteering and the voluntary sector. Key policies discussed include the Big Society initiative, the Localism Act of 2011, and the Health and Social Care Act of 2012. These policies aim to decentralize decision making and encourage community involvement in public services. They also create opportunities for voluntary organizations to deliver services and take over community assets. However, the sector also faces challenges from funding cuts and an increased business focus required to win contracts under the new system.
The Smith Commission and UK Government Command Paper recommended some additional devolution of powers to Scotland that could benefit Cyrenians and their service users. Welfare benefits like disability payments and housing elements of Universal Credit will be controlled by Scotland, but the fundamentals of the UK welfare system remain reserved. Employment support powers will also be devolved, but not until current job programs expire. Consumer rights around payday lending were fully devolved. Taxation powers increased as Scotland can set income tax rates and thresholds, but the UK government retains control over other taxes and overall budgets. Overall the additional devolved powers could help Cyrenians somewhat but significant control remains with Westminster.
Q&A With Martin Farran - DASS for Liverpool CouncilScott Walker

This document discusses funding and ownership models in the UK TV and film industry. It outlines that the BBC is publicly funded through television licenses, with its purposes being to sustain citizenship, promote education, stimulate creativity, and represent the UK. Commercial channels are funded through advertising, sponsorships, and private investors. An assignment asks students to create a vlog comparing and critiquing public service companies like the BBC versus commercially funded channels.
This document discusses changes to the housing sector in the UK, including the Welfare Reform Bill and Localism Bill. It outlines potential impacts on a housing provider, such as increased rent arrears and pressure on rent levels. Key points from the Localism Bill are summarized, including empowering communities and increasing local control over public services and finances. Areas for improving housing services and increasing tenant scrutiny are also mentioned.
This document discusses a written declaration submitted to the European Parliament regarding the impact of public libraries in European communities. It provides background on written declarations, including registration requirements. The declaration itself recognizes that nearly 100 million Europeans visited public libraries last year and millions used library internet access for education, employment, and access to government and health services. It calls on the European Commission to recognize the essential services public libraries provide to local communities and disadvantaged groups. The objectives are to get over 50% of MEPs to sign for official adoption, or 20-50% to still gain Commission recognition of public library support. Support is requested from attendees to contact their MEPs using provided templates and materials.
The Community Power Finance Co-operative (CPFC) aims to develop renewable energy projects owned by Ontario citizens and communities. It manages the $3 million CP Fund to provide grants for early-stage costs of renewable energy projects. The CPFC works to install 500 MW of community power by 2015 and 5000 MW by 2020 to create jobs and economic benefits. The Green Energy Act supports community power by defining it and providing price adders for projects with over 50% community ownership.
The Health and Social Care Act (2012) paved the way for far-reaching reforms to how patient care in the English NHS is organised, managed and delivered. The changes were formally implemented on 1 April 2013.
This slideshow outlines the main changes to management, accountability and funding structures resulting from the Act.
The first slides show the old and new structure in overview, together with a slide detailing the transitional arrangement. Further slides compare the earlier arrangements that were in place for funding, regulation and monitoring, advice and performance management, and patient and public participation, with the new system at both the national and local level. The final slide outlines the new medical education and training arrangements.

MEETING 4 PRESENTATION (7) INSIGHT SOCIAL RESEARCH LTD / HSCP (UK) IVISOC 2012fisky-wisky
The document summarizes recent UK policy changes that impact volunteering and the relationship between the voluntary sector and health/social care services. Key policies discussed include the Localism Act of 2011, which devolves more power to local governments, and the Health and Social Care Act of 2012, which restructures the NHS. These policies aim to dismantle the "big state" and promote the "Big Society" by encouraging local groups to deliver more public services. The changes open opportunities for voluntary groups to bid for new contracts but will require adapting to a more business-focused approach.

This document discusses the challenges facing social landlords, including an aging population, increasing disability and health issues among tenants, and the rising costs of upgrading aging housing stock to meet accessibility needs. It notes that over 45% of social housing tenants are now over age 55, and disability rates are twice as high among social housing residents compared to other tenure types. The document recommends cost-effective solutions like installing flexible, universally designed bathrooms and kitchens that can be easily adapted over time as tenants' needs change. It highlights the expertise and solutions offered by AKW, a company specializing in accessibility products, to help social landlords meet these challenges.

The document discusses the origins of online video as a new business model, tracing it back to Apple Computer releasing high quality weekly video trailers in the late 1990s. As DSL connections and speeds increased in the early 2000s, more tech startups emerged in Silicon Valley, including Google. YouTube later became popular due to offering larger, higher resolution copyright-free videos and using viral marketing techniques, appealing to consumers rather than just producers. The key was providing a large amount and variety of videos rather than high image quality alone.
This document discusses changes to health and social care in the UK and their potential impact on the Jewish community. It notes that individuals will receive personal budgets to spend on care rather than money going to organizations. This may lead clinical groups to signpost people to cheaper non-Jewish providers. However, over-relying on non-Jewish care could threaten the viability of Jewish providers. The document recommends educating the Jewish community about communal assets and resolving to promote Jewish care through an information campaign.
The document discusses a conference for the voluntary, community, and social enterprise sector in the London Borough of Bromley. It notes that the total budget for Bromley is reducing by £64 million by 2019/2020 due to cuts. The voluntary sector is seen as key to supporting independence and delivering shared health and care outcomes. Bromley council and clinical commissioning group are working with the voluntary sector and encouraging organizations to complete an asset mapping survey.
This document summarizes a meeting to discuss opportunities for Finnish healthcare companies in the UK National Health Service (NHS). The agenda includes presentations on the current NHS landscape, business opportunities and needs, and how Team Finland can support Finnish companies targeting the NHS. The goal is to increase Finnish exports and foreign investment in Finland's healthcare sector by capitalizing on the NHS's need for new solutions and innovations to address budget pressures. Team Finland, which includes organizations like Tekes and Finpro, aims to create a strategy to help Finnish companies succeed in the UK market.
The document discusses the challenges facing the UK's social care system due to a rapidly aging population. It notes that the number of older people needing care is expected to rise significantly in coming decades. The social care system is fragmented and underfunded, leading to unmet needs for many older adults. Integrating health and social care, increasing personalization and prevention, and reforming funding mechanisms are presented as important strategies for creating a sustainable system to care for the growing number of older citizens.

This document summarizes a presentation on the economics of dementia care. It discusses three main topics: 1) ways to decrease future cases of dementia through prevention and treatment; 2) ensuring adequate financing for dementia care; and 3) improving spending on dementia care through evidence-based interventions. The presentation notes that dementia care costs are rising rapidly and will require much more spending. It emphasizes the need for prevention, adequate funding mechanisms, and using research evidence to optimize care delivery and shift spending from "bad" to "good" costs.

ILC-UK Seminar - The Private Sector's Role in Care - supported by partnershipILC- UK
The foreword to the Government’s Vision stated that they “want people to have the freedom to choose the services that are right for them from a vibrant plural market”. Of course, for this to be possible there has to be adequate funding to support the development of a care market.
This seminar explored the role of the private sector in paying for care. We explored the different options for private sector engagement in care funding in the future. We considered how these models of engagement can be best made to work and consider what Government needs to do to facilitate. We explored the role of insurance and of equity release.
Les Mayhew presented his paper on the “Role of Private Finance in Paying for Long Term Care”. Chris Horlick from Partnership Assurance highlighted current and potential innovations in insurance. Andrea Rozario from Safe Home Income Plans (SHIP) explored issues relating to asset decumulation while Nick Starling from the ABI contributed with his comments on the role insurers play in care planning and Martin Green of the English Community Care Association (ECCA) responded from the perspective of a private sector care provider.
The schedule for this event was as follows:
4.10pm Introduction from Baroness Greengross
4.15pm Professor Les Mayhew “The Role of Private Finance in Paying for Long Term Care”
4.45pm Chris Horlick, Partnership Assurance. “The role of insurance in paying for care”

Some of PHE's key priorities include tackling childhood obesity, reducing dementia risk, ensuring child health, supporting behavior change, and addressing antimicrobial resistance. The document discusses PHE's role in areas like prevention, health protection, and improving population health and healthcare services. It also outlines PHE's achievements in recent years and framework for measuring public health outcomes.
The document discusses the concept of a welfare state and Britain's national healthcare system, the NHS. It explains that Britain adopted a welfare state model after WWII to provide basic services like healthcare for all citizens. The NHS was created in 1948 as part of this welfare system. It then discusses challenges like rising costs and an aging population that have led the government to manage spending, increase efficiency through privatization and personal responsibility, and focus on quality of service through various NHS improvement plans.
The document discusses improving clinical quality in orthopaedic care within the NHS in England. It notes significant increases in joint replacement procedures and revisions in recent years. There is huge variation between trusts in outcomes like infection rates, readmission rates, and litigation costs. The GIRFT program aims to address this variation by collecting comprehensive data on trusts, identifying best practices, and supporting implementation of quality improvements to achieve better outcomes and cost savings. The document advocates for more centralized specialty services and clinical networks to improve quality and training.
The document summarizes the impact of government public sector cuts on Blackburn with Darwen. It discusses cuts of £48 million over four years for the local council, including £29 million next year alone. This will require cuts to council services and tough choices about priorities. The Care Trust Plus will also need savings of over £6 million in 2011/12 and similar amounts in future years to deal with limited funding increases. Residents will be consulted through meetings, surveys and an online tool to provide input on budget cuts.

Failing to care- assessment of need in long term care
This meeting calls on HM government to remove the distinction between health care and social care in the assessment of the needs of individuals, in order to advance health and wellbeing - North Duffield, WI, North Yorkshire East federation
Healthwatch Care Act Consultation January 2015HWRichmond_LS
The Care Act reforms aim to shift social care towards prevention, personalization, and proactivity. Key changes include universal deferred payment agreements allowing homeowners to defer care home fees, an extended means test assessing more people for state support, and self-funders being able to request local authorities arrange their care. Implementation challenges include ensuring quality information and advice, facilitating support for families, and targeting local authority resources to those most in need while encouraging self-funders to arrange their own care when possible. The local authority consultation seeks views on proposals and solutions to smooth the transition.
The document analyzes and summarizes the main UK political parties' plans for health care, including the Conservatives pledging more funding and resources for the NHS, Labour promising £30 billion in extra NHS funding, and the Greens and Lib Dems advocating for an publicly funded healthcare system free at the point of access. It also notes experts believe the NHS will have to do more with less funding and resources due to increasing costs and demand.
The document discusses challenges facing healthcare funding and delivery in Ireland. It notes that healthcare expenditure has grown significantly in recent decades and now accounts for 30% of government spending. However, government funding will be reduced with €7-8 billion in cuts required by 2014. At the same time, an aging population and rise in chronic conditions will increase demand for services. The current funding and delivery models are unsustainable under these pressures. A new integrated approach is needed that separates payors from providers and better manages care for the elderly with chronic conditions.
The UK healthcare system faces several challenges that threaten its sustainability. Key challenges include rising demand for NHS services due to an aging population and increasing costs of new technologies. This increased demand puts pressure on limited NHS budgets and resources. There are also issues with the supply of NHS services, including limited productivity improvements and long waiting times for treatment affecting quality of care. Recommendations to address these challenges include a stronger focus on prevention, coordinated and integrated primary care, empowering patients, and improving efficiency through virtual integration of systems and resources.

Suitable housing is essential for personal well-being and quality of life at all stages of life. It enables access to services, social relationships, and independence. Housing associations play an important role in supporting health by providing suitable accommodation and programs that prevent falls, reduce isolation, and encourage healthy behaviors, especially for older residents and those with disabilities or long-term conditions. Through adaptations, supportive housing, and care services, they can help people maintain independence and avoid expensive acute health services.
District councils’ contribution to public healthThe King's Fund
Our health is primarily determined by factors beyond just
health care. These slides illustrate the ways in which district
councils influence the health of local people through their key
functions and in their wider role supporting communities and
influencing other bodies.
The King’s Fund Events organise more than 20 health and social care events each year. Our highly-regarded conferences attract leading speakers from the government, the NHS, local authorities and the independent and voluntary sectors.
Jos de Blok set up Buurtzorg – which means ‘neighbourhood care’ in Dutch – with a team of four nurses. Today there are nearly 8,000 Buurtzorg nurses in 630 independent teams, caring for 60,000 patients a year. Nurses in Sweden, Norway, Japan and the United States are adopting the Buurtzorg model.
While women currently make up 44% of registered doctors in the UK, they are underrepresented in medical leadership roles, with only 24% of trust medical directors being women. Although 55% of medical students are now women, indicating they will likely become the majority of the medical workforce in the next decade, women currently account for just 32% of consultants compared to 54% of trainee doctors. Research has identified barriers for women progressing into leadership, such as work-life balance, organizational cultures, and personal expectations.
Our infographics highlight some key facts and figures around leadership vacancies in the NHS and some of the difficulties NHS organisations face in recruiting and retaining people for executive positions.
Sharing leadership with patients and users: a roundtable discussionThe King's Fund
‘What more is possible when patients, service users and those delivering services share the leadership task in health and social care?’
We held a roundtable discussion with patient leaders and organisational leads to discuss this question. Our slidepack summaries the conversations, including the opportunities and challenges for patient leaders, and where and how to start shared leadership working.
Making the case for public health interventionsThe King's Fund
In partnership with the Local Government Association, we have produced a set of infographics that describe key facts about the public health system and the return on investment for some public health interventions.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
