Introduction to DRIVE - Cedric Mahe
This document summarizes the challenges of conducting brand-specific influenza vaccine effectiveness studies in Europe. It notes that methodological issues like differences in vaccine administration, circulation of strains between countries, and study designs and settings make pooling data challenging. Existing surveillance systems like I-Move only estimate overall effectiveness, not brand-specific. The costs of expanding systems to allow brand-specific estimates would be very high, around 3-10 million euros per year. Additional challenges include low and varying vaccination rates, vaccine tenders that impact brand distribution, and lack of reliable brand-level data in most countries. Public health authorities control the data but manufacturers need oversight due to regulatory requirements. Improvements will take time and investment.

Nantes Orpin Poster 2016
The UK dairy industry formed a Johne's Action Group in 2010 to develop a collaborative program to control Johne's disease (JD). A commercial online health planning tool was created for over 2,500 dairy farmers to deliver structured JD programs. In 2015, the engagement program progressed to a National Johne's Management Plan (NJMP) requiring farmers to review risks, status, and control strategies with trained vets. 77% of UK milk supply committed to ensuring farmers complete the NJMP by 2017 to reduce JD spread and prevalence. Future success relies on continued commitment from milk processors and Dairy UK to incentivize vets, farmers and others to engage in the plan.
Brandenburg Insect Lights Traps & Integrated Sanitary Management
The document discusses insect light traps and their use for integrated sanitary management. It recommends using insect light traps as monitoring tools rather than just control devices to inform targeted sanitation programs. Regular monitoring of light traps allows identification of insect species and analysis against critical limits to identify sources of insects and ensure hygiene. This integrated approach using light trap data can help form the basis for reactive and preventative sanitation recommendations. The document also discusses opportunities for commercial sales and leasing of light trap programs.
HCF 2019 Panel 3: Marco Camboni
Measuring the performance of chemical management systems is important to assess impact with limited resources and ensure efficiency. There are several types of indicators to measure performance, including impact indicators related to chemicals-related diseases and environmental impacts, result indicators on chemical levels in human and environmental samples, and output indicators like restricted substances. However, accurately measuring impact indicators is challenging due to complex attribution of health effects and lack of data, and result indicators are limited to known chemicals with inconsistent monitoring. Harmonization of research, monitoring, and testing is needed to strengthen performance measurement of chemical management systems.

It provides data showing screening uptake disparities based on factors like learning disabilities, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. It also outlines guidance and tools to help screening services increase uptake in deprived areas and make screening more accessible for groups facing inequalities.
AAA Screening : Extending the screener role
This document describes extending the role of screening technicians in an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening program to include basic physical health checks. It provides details on the current and proposed screening models, including the additional training and guidance technicians receive to take blood pressure and seek nurse advice. An example is given of how a high blood pressure reading was identified during screening and subsequently treated, benefiting both the patient and their GP. Feedback from patients and GPs is positive about the expanded technician role in detecting other health issues alongside AAA screening.
AAA Screening : Extending the screener role for nurses
The document discusses extending the role of screening technicians in an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening program to include basic physical health checks. The program saw a decline in eligible men for screening over time as the population grew. The extended screener role would have technicians take basic observations like blood pressure and seek nurse practitioner advice if needed. Patients would receive education materials and follow up calls. Nurses would conduct further assessments over the phone. The changes aim to catch other health issues and assure quality through training, audits, and patient and doctor feedback. The feedback received has been positive.
