This document discusses the need for choice and patient-centered care in children's palliative care. It notes that there are approximately 49,000 children in the UK with life-limiting conditions, yet their voices are often not heard and patient choice is absent. Parents describe the system as a "minefield" with a lack of support and coordination. Short breaks for respite care are important but often not funded by local authorities. Choice is limited by a lack of services due to underfunding. The document calls for improved coordination, a national inquiry, mandated joint commissioning, and greater transparency and accountability in funding to better meet the needs of children requiring palliative care and their families.
The document summarizes a palliative and end of life care service called Coordinated, Safe and Integrated (CoSI) care. CoSI aims to [1] reduce hospital admissions and support patient choice for place of care and death, [2] provide enhanced coordination of care across partner organizations for patients with 6-8 weeks to live, and [3] lower costs compared to usual care. Since launching in 2014, CoSI has supported over 500 patients, with 76% receiving care within 48 hours and 100% of patients who died achieving their preferred place of death at home. Evaluation found acute care costs were £1,700 on average for CoSI patients versus £3,812 for others in their last 3 months

Law and Ethics are important to practitioners and managers because, without them, there would be no guide to follow, and everyone staff and patients alike would do as they please. Laws and Ethics help show what is right and what is wrong not only in healthcare but also in life. Ethics means what is right and wrong regarding how a person acts and what they do. Law is a practice or procedure that is enforced by a higher authority in regard to a profession. Law and ethics go hand-in-hand in the healthcare world and are used and practiced on a daily basis.
The relationship between law and ethics is weaved together for what people believe is good and evil. The law has the ability to force doctors and practitioners to perform what they may feel to be unethical in their practice. Doctors and practitioners who believe that the rules force them to be unethical must work within the legal world to change it to what they feel is ethical in practice. Both laws and ethics work to build a moral line for all people in healthcare and the world. Breaking an ethical code will cause embarrassment, confusion, and dissatisfaction; however, ethical principles do not carry legal penalties with them as the law does. A personal example of how law and ethics can be fused was when I replaced my hip. I wanted to make sure that the nurses, doctors, anesthesiologist, and all other staff helping with the procedure were on the same page and that there weren't conflicting issues among all of them. This shows ethics between all of the team, along with wanting them on the same page. I would also like to make sure that my privacy was vital, that my information would not be given out to whoever asked for it, and that my surgery, diagnosis, etc., was not talked about to other staff members not working with me personally. If this privacy were to be broken, that would be a violation of HIPPA, which is a law of protection of privacy.
There are four primary sources of law. Those are constitutional law, case law, statutory law, and administrative law. Constitutional law is derived from federal and state constitutions and is the highest law in the country. Case law, also known as common law, is a law set by legal precedent. Legal precedent means decisions made by judges in the several courts that become the rule of law even though they were not established by legislation. Statutory l.

Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

What are health justice partnerships (HJP)?
At their heart, HJP provide access to legal services in health
settings.
They are a response to two key pieces of evidence.
i. Social determinants of health
ii. Access to justice
4. Aims of the service
To provide effective early legal intervention to
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who
would not otherwise access Legal Advice
To build capacity amongst health professionals to
identify issues
To improve health outcomes for clients of the legal
service

Editor's Notes
Today, I want to tell you about our work in a Health Justice Partnership at Wuchopperen Health Service, which is only 16 months old. A Health Justice Partnership (HPJ) is an early intervention program designed to identify and intervene in the potential legal issues that frequently exist for
patients in healthcare settings. The potential for legal issues to cause or compound health problems for patients is well established. The purpose of a HJP is to address the potential effects of compound health and legal problems, by enabling the respective professions to work in tandem to improve
the holistic heath of individuals and alleviate the strain on the healthcare and legal systems.
Additionally, providing legal assistance
Social determinants of health – The first is what we know about the social determinants of health: that there are many factors beyond the medical, that affect people’s health. Things like the affordability of housing; adequacy of income; and people’s engagement with family, with community, and with employment.
Across Australia, over one in five people will have three or more legal needs in a given year. For some, these legal needs relate to the criminal justice system and experiences in prison. For others, these are the legal needs of life: issues like credit and debt, employment, housing, family break-down and family violence. Among the one in five, people living with disabilities, sole parents, people who rely on income support payments and people living in disadvantaged housing are highly represented. ATSI people are also over-represented, and we know that they are more likely to have unresolved legal matters, even where they’ve sought legal assistance. Critically, we know that many people with these legal needs are much more likely to talk about those needs in the trusted environment of a health setting.
We know that if these legal problems aren't resolved the impact on housing, health and income will just get worse and entrench the persons disadvantage.
And see there it is...there's our reason....who wants to see lawyers?
