Civic Participation
Putting people at the heart of everything we do is a key strategic principle for Newham Council. It is committed to better involving residents because working together with our communities achieves better services and outcomes and makes the borough a happier and healthier place to live.
We set up a Democracy and Civic Participation Commission in 2020 to enable democracy in the borough to become more representative and participatory and to look at alternative governance models for the council.
We established the UK’s first permanent citizens assembly and one of the country’s largest participatory budgeting programmes to support our residents to be “policy makers” and “budget makers”
We also mobilised pioneering alliances to “co-produce” with residents and partners, setting Help Newham to mobilise staff and residents to provide emergency support during the pandemic, and the Newham Social Welfare Alliance which brings together frontline partners to support residents at risk of crisis.
We set up Health Champions to engage residents to protect themselves from Covid, now leading a national network, and are training residents to carry out research in their communities as part of the UK’s first longitudinal programme through community-led research.

This document summarizes suicide prevention efforts and data from Mersey Care NHS Trust and Henry Ford Health System. It shows suicide rates and numbers from 2005-2011 in Mersey Care, breakdowns by age, gender, diagnosis and method. Henry Ford achieved a 75% reduction in suicides through rapid investigations, clear risk assessment and interventions, and a culture shift toward pursuing perfection in depression care. Mersey Care's improvement plan aims to reduce suicides among its service users by 100% over 4 years through understanding evidence, treating depression effectively, enhancing safety pathways and staff skills, improving care transitions and engagement with carers.
Dr Ashley Baldwin
1) Suicide rates are highest among males aged 75 and over, and methods like hanging and self-poisoning are common in older adults.
2) Risk factors for suicide in later life include depression, physical illness, social isolation, and bereavement. Only a small percentage of older adult suicide completers had recent contact with mental health services.
3) Community-based prevention programs that educate primary care physicians about depression and increase screening have been shown to reduce elderly suicide rates. Tele-monitoring services may also help prevent suicide in at-risk older adults.

The document describes CASPER, a computer application that incorporates mapping technology to support agencies in monitoring and responding to missing person cases, suicides, and suicide attempts that occur in outdoor locations. CASPER aims to 1) provide an understanding of past incidents at outdoor locations, 2) calculate average search distances for missing persons, and 3) inform search strategies. It is intended to help police and emergency services while also providing public health analysts with tools to monitor response locations and develop coordinated action plans to reduce risks. Feedback is sought to improve CASPER.

IAPT services play a role in preventing suicide by treating depression, which is a major risk factor for suicide. IAPT services provide talking therapies for depression and anxiety using a stepped care approach. They screen for suicide risk using standardized measures and directly ask clients about suicidal thoughts and plans. For those at risk, IAPT therapists develop safety plans that provide coping strategies and identify sources of support to help prevent suicide crises. They document risk assessments, management plans, and follow up arrangements to coordinate care.
Sharon Mcdonnell
Dr. Sharon McDonnell presented on the experiences and perceived needs of parents bereaved by suicide. Her research found that parents had negative experiences with professionals breaking the news of their child's death and a lack of follow up care. However, some parents reported positive interactions with doctors who were compassionate and supportive. McDonnell is developing a training program to help professionals better support those bereaved by suicide, as understanding in this area has improved but specialists services are still needed.

The document discusses implementing a Community Response Plan (CRP) to prevent suicide clusters from occurring in a local area. The CRP aims to facilitate early detection of potential clusters and provide a timely multi-agency response. It outlines criteria for activating the full CRP, including unusual death circumstances, potential media interest, or a rise in suicides over a short period. It also describes the roles of various organizations in monitoring suicides and implementing the CRP through different response levels to address concerns until the risk level decreases. The CLEAR partnership helps build community capacity to assist during a suicide and ensures support services are clear and accessible.

This document discusses the relationship between unemployment rates and suicide rates during economic recessions. It provides evidence from a 2012 BMJ study linking increases in suicides in England from 2008 onward to the financial crisis. Regions with larger rises in unemployment experienced greater growth in suicide rates, particularly among men. Charts show unemployment levels and suicide rates rising together in countries like Spain and falling together in Sweden. The conclusion is that unemployment increases due to economic downturns can contribute to elevated suicide rates.

Harnessing Health in Older Age - 17 November
This document summarizes a conference on harnessing health and wellbeing in older age. It discusses:
1) Presentations from experts on using innovation and collaboration across sectors to improve outcomes for older adults, such as developing digital health tools and exercise programs to prevent falls and strokes.
2) The concept of an "innovation ecosystem" to deliver solutions that improve lives and how these solutions can be scaled up. Examples of specific innovations developed in the North of England are mentioned.
3) The need for a common outcomes framework and additional funding to support preventative programs and a focus on living well in older age rather than just treating illness.
4) Systems leadership approaches that focus on relationships and influence to
What is a Service Provider?
- Dr. Simon Duffy has over 25 years of experience working to develop systems of self-directed support, both as a service provider and working with governments.
- The document summarizes Dr. Duffy's presentation on what a service provider is and the experience with self-directed support models in the UK and elsewhere.
- A key point discussed is that the role of "providers" is better thought of as building community partnerships rather than simply providing services, and that individualizing support and focusing on natural supports and community connections leads to better outcomes and efficiencies.
Learning Disabilities: Share and Learn Webinar – 25 August 2016
Topic 1: Co production – a long term relationship and different Conversations
Guest Speakers: Samantha Clark, Chief Executive, Inclusion North
In health & social care we are constantly grappling with how we can work differently and think differently about people who come to our services (willingly and otherwise) needing support. With so many new ways of thinking & working around – co production, person centred approaches, asset based community development, strengths based approaches, community capacity - sometimes it's hard for people who work in services, as well as the people and families they support, to work out what it those mean to their practice. This webinar will focus on the practical values driven implementation of co production – the long term relationship, shifting power but building on all contributions.
Topic 2: Transforming Care and Building the Right Support – the CQC approach to registering services for adults with learning disabilities
Guest Speakers: Theresa Joyce and Sue Mitchell, Care Quality Commission
This webinar will be an opportunity for commissioners to consider the CQC policy on registering providers who apply to deliver services for adults with learning disabilities. The policy is called ‘Registering the Right Support’ and outlines the factors we will consider in both approving and refusing applications for either new services or changes in existing services. We will consider specific issues, such as applications to change the registration of a hospital ward or unit, to register large or congregate services or to increase the size of an existing location. These factors are all important when commissioners are developing their plans under the Transforming Care program, and the webinar will enable discussion and questions about the registration approach and process.

Natalie Turner discusses how age-friendly communities and dementia friendly communities can learn from each other to better support vulnerable older people. Both frameworks aim to promote independence and inclusion, but dementia friendly initiatives specifically focus on combating stigma and raising awareness of dementia. While age-friendly communities emphasize prevention and the social and physical environment, dementia friendly communities prioritize inclusion of those with dementia and caregivers. Initiatives could better coordinate by including dementia stakeholders, aligning resources, and adapting actions plans based on dementia friendly design principles.Day 3 Speaker Presentation - Graeme Chrisholm

Gender and Suicide
The document discusses gender differences in suicide rates in the UK from 1981-2011. It shows that while depression is equally common in men and women, women are twice as likely to be diagnosed and treated for it. The tables provided show female suicide rates peak between ages 35-44, while male suicide rates are highest between ages 25-34 and remain elevated among older age groups. Overall, male suicide rates are significantly higher than female rates across all age groups.

The Greater Manchester Suicide Prevention Partnership was initiated in 2002 following the UK's National Suicide Prevention Strategy. It brings together agencies responsible for or interested in suicide reduction, including public health, local authorities, mental health providers, police, ambulance services, universities, and voluntary organizations. The partnership aims to share information and develop collaborative strategies. Recent achievements include installing Samaritan signs in hot spots, identifying vulnerable groups like men aged 35-49, improving information sharing between agencies, and developing audit tools to prevent suicide among hospital patients.

The document discusses suicide prevention from the perspective of Greater Manchester Police (GMP). It provides data on suicide deaths in the region, including that 19 people reported missing between 2012-2013 later committed suicide, most by hanging or drowning. It then describes a referral scheme between Bury Police Public Protection Investigation Unit (PPIU) and Samaritans, where police can refer at-risk individuals to Samaritans for confidential support with their consent. The scheme aims to help those struggling with issues beyond suicidal thoughts.
Sarah Hardman
This document discusses suicide and fire deaths in Greater Manchester from 2007-2012. It found that non-preventable fire deaths, including those from suicide, increased 133% during this period. Suicide accounted for 37% of non-preventable fire deaths, with many involving self-immolation among middle-aged individuals. In response, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service aims to study self-immolation prevalence and circumstances to identify partnership opportunities for prevention. A mixed methods research approach is proposed to gather data, review literature, conduct case studies and make recommendations.

2nd-generation Antihistaminic Part I.pptx
CLASSIFICATION OF H1 ANTIHISTAMINICS-
FIRST GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-
1)HIGHLY SEDATIVE-DIPHENHYDRAMINE,DIMENHYDRINATE,PROMETHAZINE,HYDROXYZINE 2)MODERATELY SEDATIVE- PHENARIMINE,CYPROHEPTADINE, MECLIZINE,CINNARIZINE
3)MILD SEDATIVE-CHLORPHENIRAMINE,DEXCHLORPHENIRAMINE
TRIPROLIDINE,CLEMASTINE
SECOND GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-FEXOFENADINE,
LORATADINE,DESLORATADINE,CETIRIZINE,LEVOCETIRIZINE,
AZELASTINE,MIZOLASTINE,EBASTINE,RUPATADINE. Mechanism of action of 2nd generation antihistaminics-
These drugs competitively antagonize actions of
histamine at the H1 receptors.
Pharmacological actions-
Antagonism of histamine-The H1 antagonists effectively block histamine induced bronchoconstriction, contraction of intestinal and other smooth muscle and triple response especially wheal, flare and itch. Constriction of larger blood vessel by histamine is also antagonized.
2) Antiallergic actions-Many manifestations of immediate hypersensitivity (type I reactions)are suppressed. Urticaria, itching and angioedema are well controlled.3) CNS action-The older antihistamines produce variable degree of CNS depression.But in case of 2nd gen antihistaminics there is less CNS depressant property as these cross BBB to significantly lesser extent.
4) Anticholinergic action- many H1 blockers
in addition antagonize muscarinic actions of ACh. BUT IN 2ND gen histaminics there is Higher H1 selectivitiy : no anticholinergic side effects

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.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s Perspective
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.
