This document summarizes presentations from a conference on shifting the focus and power of healthcare to communities.
The first presentation discussed community engagement, resilience and health service development initiatives in Scotland's Annandale and Eskdale regions to better support older adults, those with long-term conditions, caregivers and people with dementia.
The second presentation described a project in Clackmannanshire, Scotland that employs community development workers and an older adult support worker to map resources, gather community input, identify hidden caregivers and co-produce new support services.
The third presentation was about a lifestyle management program for long-term conditions run by the Thistle Foundation. It is staff-led but co-facilitated
A description of culture change principles. Why culture change works, and why consumers will demand culture change communities as awareness grows.

Expo is the most significant annual health and social care event in the calendar, uniting more NHS and care leaders, commissioners, clinicians, voluntary sector partners, innovators and media than any other health and care event.
Expo 15 returned to Manchester and was hosted once again by NHS England. Around 5000 people a day from health and care, the voluntary sector, local government, and industry joined together at Manchester Central Convention Centre for two packed days of speakers, workshops, exhibitions and professional development.
This year, Expo was more relevant and engaging than ever before, happening within the first 100 days of the new Government, and almost 12 months after the publication of the NHS Five Year Forward View. It was also a great opportunity to check on and learn from the progress of Greater Manchester as the area prepares to take over a £6 billion devolved health and social care budget, pledging to integrate hospital, community, primary and social care and vastly improve health and well-being.

NICE have now published three guidelines which are relevant to the care and support of older people:
Home care: delivering personal care and practical support to older people living in their own homes
Transition between inpatient hospital settings and community or care home settings for adults with social care needs
Older people with social care needs and multiple long-term conditions
Alongside hosting three workshops, the NICE Collaborating Centre for Social Care is hosting a FREE webinar to introduce these guidelines together and enable frontline practitioners and managers to consider how they can support practice improvement.

Learning Disabilities: Share and Learn Webinar – 11 May 2017NHS England
This webinar focuses on the Model Service Specification for Enhanced/Intensive support and aims to explain the core functions that need to be in place in the community in order to support people with a learning disability, autism or both who display behaviours that challenge which place themselves or others at risk of serious harm; or for whom the nature or degree of risk might otherwise lead to exclusion, placement breakdown, and admission to inpatient services.
The webinar includes real life examples of how some Transforming Care Partnerships have approached the development of these functions.
Joint working in community teams has developed across Scotland and across a range of care groups over a number of years. This workshop shares the learning from an award winning integrated team and explore some of the key, common messages for practice. It highlights challenges in developing the workforce, mainstreaming the approach and spreading this to other localities. The team outlines examples of successful outcomes in the context of health and social care integration. Contributed by: Joint Improvement Team & South Lanarkshire Partnership

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

sources of support professionals and public
– Older People 65+
• Identify need – Long Term Conditions
• Strengthen existing – Self management and care
– Isolation
pathways – Care Planning
• Co-produce new sources – Carers
of support – Dementia
• Information &
Communication

accessible to those who need it.
2. Increase wellbeing and confidence to self- manage
through better provision and use of appropriate support
in the community
3. Create and co-ordinate health and wellbeing related
learning opportunities – individuals, communities and
organisations
4. Carers are informed, involved and supported
7. How are we doing this...?
• Community Agents and Strengthening capacity and
Development Worker resilience across all sectors

change
– Gathering and sharing
information and views – Connecting people,
communities, professionals
– Identifying hidden Carers and services Identifying
– co-production of support learning needs for health and
services wellbeing

Lifestyle Management for
Long Terms Conditions
13. Lifestyle Management
• Lifestyle management addresses common needs,
concerns and hopes people have when living with a
long term condition.
• The service is staff led, but co-facilitated by peer
volunteers who have come through the programme and
have personal experience of a long term condition.
• The 10 x 3 h sessions are informed by person-centred
working, solution focused practice and medical
rehabilitation programmes.
14. Reach
• Thistle provides services in Craigmillar & across central
belt of Scotland.
• In 2011/12 we supported 233 people in 15 courses,
which includes 1-to-1 consults on a limited basis.
• The service supports ~ 15 active volunteers.
• . We receive 35 referrals per month (2011/12).
• 73% report at least one long term condition
• 13% report two or more
15. Outcomes
• As a result of our programme, people increase their
confidence, ability to cope, and mood.
• As a result of improving their situation, we notice that
people want to stay connected through volunteering.
• People who access our service value peer support highly,
and volunteers say it helps them maintain and continue
positive health behaviours.
• We notice that people use lifestyle management skills to
better manage relapses and sometimes use other
services differently
16. What Makes “The Difference”
• Personal outreach for people in complex situations: there
is a need for persistence and a personal approach.
• - encourage access of other services & follow up
• A non-expert approach which is about noticing small
changes and exploring what helps a person move on.
• An inclusive approach
• - it’s ok to drop out and come back later
• - it’s ok to stop volunteering and use the service
• - promoting choice (not exclusion criteria)
18. Aims
• Promote positive attitudes towards ageing;
• Increase activity that empowers people to stay in good
physical and mental health and reduces social isolation;
• Raise awareness and disseminate information on the benefits
of physical activity;
• Support quality of life, independent living and self
management.
• Identify good practice and exchange knowledge.
• Harness the contribution of the third sector and the voice of
older people and unpaid carers.
• Encouraging inclusion of older people within local
communities;
• Scottish Contribution to European Year of AA and WCAA.
19. Benefits of Physical Activity
• Physical
– 20% lower risk of breast cancer;
– 30% lower risk of CHD and colon cancer;
– Activity can improve muscle function, reduce bone
– Loss, reduce falls and improve balance.
• Mental
– Reduces the risk of depression;
– Some evidence that it improves sleep;
– Can enhance psychological well being;
– Reduce anxiety.
• Social
– Reduce isolation and loneliness;
– Promote independence;
– Encourage people to adopt a preventative/self management approach to
their health.
20. How Much Physical Activity ? Key
Messages
• Some is better than none;
• More physical activity provides greater benefits;
• CMO Guidance – Over a week 150 mins of moderate intensity ( 30
mins walking over 5 days or 10 min walks x 3).
• Risks of sedentary behaviour (one week bed rest = 10years of
ageing on body;
• Following a week of bed rest – 1year to gain lost bone density and 6
months to regain strength and endurance.
• Break long periods of sitting has positive effect on health.
• Nursing home residents spend 80 – 90% time seated or lying down.
EVERYTHING COUNTS!!!
21. Conference Conclusions - Propositions
for Active Ageing
• Involve older people
• Raise awareness of benefits
• Role of GPs and Health Professionals
• Physical activity should be fun
• Challenge ageism and promote good practice
• Project location and accessibility
• Partnerships for learning and volunteering
• Intergenerational activity
• Empower older people with information
• Holistic approach in “Active Communities”
