The document discusses strategic approaches to addressing capacity and skills gaps in scientific research. It summarizes the Medical Research Council's (MRC) mission to improve human health through funding excellent biomedical research. The MRC supports developing skills in strategic areas like molecular pathology and antimicrobial resistance. It has invested in various initiatives to build the UK research base and workforce, such as the Dementias Platform UK, UK Regenerative Medicine Platform, and cross-council programs on antimicrobial resistance. The MRC aims to maintain the UK's world-leading position in research through long-term investment and collaboration.
Mark Walport (Govt Office for Science) - Innovation, managing risk not avoidi...NHShcs
This document discusses managing risk from innovation rather than avoiding it. It argues that innovation has led to many benefits but also risks that must be addressed. Risk is a societal issue that requires open discussion of how benefits and risks are distributed. Specific innovations need to be discussed rather than general technologies. Science can help by providing evidence but many issues involve both science and human values. Effective management of risk from innovation requires addressing these complex issues.
Barbara Wood - Partnership working patients, public & the community #hcs15NHShcs
This document discusses partnership between patients, the public, and healthcare professionals and scientists. It argues that true partnership requires equal participation from all parties in planning and delivering healthcare. The future patient will be more informed about their health through technology, will manage their own care through access to online records and test results, and will have more choices. Healthcare scientists can partner with patients by making complex medical data understandable and by codesigning new models of integrated care delivery. Examples of current partnership initiatives include PatientView, which allows patients to access test results online, and a patient-held record developed together for thalassemia patients. Moving forward will require embracing new roles for healthcare scientists that leverage their skills and involving all stakeholders in redesigning healthcare systems
Adrian Towse outlined four priorities for his term as ISPOR President: 1) continuing globalization of ISPOR; 2) responding to growing payer demand for evidence of value; 3) raising HEOR scientific standards; and 4) supporting the next generation of researchers. He noted that ISPOR must anticipate diverse health systems' different challenges and respond to their needs by breaking out of narrow perspectives. Providing efficient healthcare globally requires understanding decision-making in different countries and using tools like HTA to support universal coverage in a way that incentivizes better outcomes and performance measurement.

Governments and industries all over the world are tackling the challenges and opportunities of ‘Big Data’. In view of these challenges, the key drivers of change in this area are the behaviour of researchers, the introduction of incentives or rewards and funding for data sharing infrastructure. Governments and taxpayers also expect a return on investment from the money spent on publically funded research. Building on and learning from the successes (and failures) of others need to be part of the research vernacular. Issues such as open access, data curation, handling of data, and sharing of that data are all matters on which the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) has an interest in. NHMRC works with the sector to develop best practise policies on such matters.
Samantha Robertson
Executive Director, NHMRC Evidence, Advice & Governance
Presented at the 2015 Wiley Publishing Seminar, 5 November, Melbourne, Australia.
This document is a call for papers for a special issue of BioMed Research International on evidence-based public health. It discusses that public health decision making is complex, involving many inputs and the need for consensus. It states that while public health has achieved much in the past century, future success requires greater use of evidence-based approaches. Key aspects of an evidence-based public health approach include making decisions based on the best available evidence, using sound research methods, and engaging the community in the decision making process. An evidence-based approach could provide numerous benefits such as access to higher quality information and more successful prevention programs. The call invites researchers to submit papers on generating and implementing evidence-based public health knowledge and practices.
Poster slide show - PRIME Annual Meeting 2020angewatkins
The document summarizes the aims, activities, and plans of multiple research work packages within an organization over the past year and for the forthcoming year. Some of the key highlights mentioned include securing funding for trials and studies on topics like antibiotic prescribing and COVID-19, submitting applications for funding new research, and completing or making progress on ongoing research studies. The work packages plan to continue their research programs, pursue additional funding, and engage with partners to address healthcare needs over the coming year.
The document discusses developing a digital education platform to support Interprofessional Education (IPE) for clinicians in primary health care. IPE brings different professions together to improve collaboration and quality of care. Research shows collaborative practice can decrease complications and errors while increasing patient satisfaction. The project will review current IPE models, interview clinicians, develop online modules and a platform, pilot the program, and evaluate it with clinicians.

This presentation summarises some of the key impacts of Brexit on the UK's NHS and universities, public health in the UK, and the UK's life science industry.
Respiratory Futures webinar: Creative commissioning, the future is local (wit...Respiratory Futures
Many people in England have yet to grasp that there has been a major shift in how and where decisions about their healthcare are made. NHS reforms have resulted in a wholesale transfer of responsibility for commissioning decisions from the Department of Health (DH) to individual Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) via NHS England.
Accountability for the majority of commissioning decisions that relate to respiratory disease now sits with CCGs and is not directed by either DH or NHS England.
The NHS in England is therefore a federation of over two hundred local commissioners who have effective autonomy over their commissioning priorities. In some areas, such as dementia or cancer, there are clear directives from NHS England, and a supporting structure in the form of strategic networks, to deliver standard service improvement.
For disease areas where these do not exist, CCGs have much greater choice in the nature and scale of service that they should provide. This has already led to variations in provision according to local need or simply by interest.
It is fast becoming clear that, unless there is a major political shift in emphasis, respiratory disease will not be prioritised specifically by NHS England, and CCGs will need to be influenced more explicitly by local need.
To a limited extent this is already happening where local stakeholder groups are interacting with CCGs in the form of an informal network and some individuals or groups of CCGs have already identified COPD as a priority in their five-year strategic plans. This is good news and likely to be successful, particularly if their proposed intentions fit in with the models suggested in the recently published Five Year Forward View which favours vertical integration and specialist interaction with primary care – see http://www.england.nhs.uk/ourwork/futurenhs/ for more details.
Whilst there is likely to be sufficient intrinsic justification for CCGs to develop sustained interest in respiratory conditions, this won’t happen automatically. There is still much to be done by us, as specialist healthcare professionals, to communicate consistently the importance of developing clinically led, patient-centred quality respiratory care to the 200 or so CCGs in England.
Health and Wellbeing Boards and local networks are an obvious conduit for influence. And around the country there are examples of patient organisations and stakeholder groups already having a positive influence on local commissioning policy, such as in Leeds and the South East Coast region.

A presentation by Craig Bardsley as part of the Sustainability and Ownership panel discussion at the International Symposium on Cohort and Longitudinal Studies in Developing Contexts, UNICEF Office of Research - Innocenti, Florence, Italy 13-15 October 2014
The document discusses strategies for influencing neurological health policy in the UK over the next 21 years. It outlines how the health system has changed over the past 10-20 years, with reforms decentralizing power to local clinical commissioning groups and increasing patient choice and voice. It then provides recommendations for influencing policy nationally through engaging with government bodies and locally by working with regional stakeholders. It acknowledges uncertainties like Brexit but hopes that over the next 20 years continued efficiency, patient empowerment, and grassroots involvement can improve timely diagnoses, patient-centered care, treatment excellence, and benefit from scientific advances.
Funding Public health research in the UK. Professor Stephen PeckhamEugenia Laevskaya
The document discusses public health research funding in the UK. It describes the different organizations that fund and conduct public health research, including Public Health England, local authorities, NHS Scotland, and others. It explains why public health research is needed to determine effective interventions, understand health behaviors, and evaluate public health services. The National Institute for Health Research is a major funder of applied health and clinical research through various programs.
This is an invited presentation to a British Psychological Society symposium on Prevention,which seeks to summarise key English policy trends on prevention, and help develop the BPS position on the contribution of psychological science to government policy on Prevention

Fast-track the end of AIDS in the EU - practical evidence-based interventions.
Presentation by: Annette Verster, WHO
In a two-day meeting under the auspices of the Maltese Presidency of the Council of the European Union (30-31 January 2017), HIV experts from across the European Union discussed how to reverse this trend and how to prepare Europe to achieve the set target of ending AIDS by 2030.
The BRIDGE Health project involves 31 institutes from 16 European countries. It aims to develop a strategic policy paper and technical blueprints for a future integrated European health information system covering both public health and healthcare. The project will disseminate results through technical reports, workshops, and meetings to target audiences like policymakers, researchers, and the general public. It seeks to ensure sustainability of health information activities and enhance synergy between domains like population health monitoring, disease registries, and clinical data collection.
The document summarizes the key themes of the NHS 5 Year Forward View plan. It outlines the plan's vision for new models of integrated care focused on populations of 50,000 people. The plan acknowledges an estimated annual funding gap of £30 billion by 2020/21 for the NHS and the need for efficiency savings and increased funding. It also emphasizes the importance of prevention, personalization, technology, and social determinants of health for a sustainable healthcare system.
1) The document discusses using data from GP practices in Wales to analyze health conditions and identify areas of good and poor health. It summarizes data on conditions like stroke, heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, asthma, and COPD.
2) The data shows some variation in condition prevalence between local areas and GP practices. For example, the prevalence of stroke ranges from 1.0-1.6% between local authorities.
3) While condition prevalence generally correlates with deprivation levels, some inconsistencies exist, such as relatively low diagnosed stroke in one area. Overall the data provides insights but some weaknesses in correlations are present.
Welcome & Introduction - PRIME Centre Walesangewatkins
The PRIME Centre Wales held its first annual meeting on September 22, 2015 at the Wales Millennium Centre. The summary discusses:
1) The meeting focused on collaborating, listening, and engaging to conduct high quality research that influences policy and practice in primary care, emergency care, and social care.
2) The PRIME Centre Wales is a collaboration between several Welsh universities aimed at improving health through research, influencing policy, and knowledge translation.

Colin dayan commercial research in cardiovascular diseaseangewatkins
This document discusses establishing Cardiff University and surrounding NHS hospitals as a commercial research "hub" for cardiovascular clinical trials. It outlines why cardiovascular disease is a priority area for commercial drug development. Developing a strong reputation with industry would require accelerating trial set-up times, incentivizing staff to refer eligible patients, and providing high-quality principal investigators. The needs of clinicians include protected time, regulatory support, and infrastructure for trial delivery. The document proposes a coordination group called Cardiovascular Research Group - Cymru to facilitate collaborative translational research and multi-center trials across institutions. Establishing clear points of contact and minimizing delays could help deliver studies effectively. An example trial mentioned is the ODYSSEY trial of a P
This document provides an agenda for an industry workshop hosted by the South East Wales Academic Health Science Partnership. The workshop will bring together stakeholders from industry, academia, and healthcare to discuss opportunities for collaboration on translational research. The morning session will include messages on how the region can succeed and perspectives on industry research prospects. Attendees will then break into workshops before reconvening for panel discussions. The afternoon will focus on the needs of clinicians and technology sectors, challenges and opportunities for research, and planning future collaborations to improve health and drive economic growth through innovation.
Helen Lester presented on the role of pay for performance (P4P) in quality improvement in the UK. She discussed how P4P was introduced in the UK in 2004 to improve quality of care and address issues like variations in care. While P4P led to improved achievement on incentivized measures, it also resulted in unintended consequences like increased transaction costs, changes to roles of nurses and doctors, and less attention to non-incentivized areas. Studies on the impact of P4P on outcomes have shown mixed results. Overall, P4P has improved some aspects of care but its high costs, impacts on relationships, and narrow focus raise questions about its long-term role in quality improvement.
The document summarizes key points from a primary care and public health symposium presented by Dr. Tony Jewell, Chief Medical Officer for Wales. The symposium discussed: 1) the importance of primary care now more than ever; 2) the systematic application of evidence; 3) having the right tools for primary care providers' jobs; 4) opportunities to improve primary care through an integrated system; and 5) developing the right type of primary care systems. The document emphasizes the complexity of primary care according to Barbara Starfield and concludes by thanking attendees.

The document discusses increasing patient participation in their treatment and care through personal health budgets. It provides evidence that activating patients through shared decision making, self-management support, and personal health budgets can lead to better health outcomes and lower costs. The presentation outlines plans to expand personal health budgets for those with long-term conditions in accordance with NHS objectives. It highlights early positive results from personal health budget trials showing improved quality of life and independence.
Research for All: Now is the time!! advocates that now is a prime opportunity for increased research efforts due to several factors:
1) Demographic changes like an aging population and rising rates of chronic conditions are increasing healthcare needs and costs, highlighting the need for improved population health outcomes and more cost-effective care.
2) Technological advances, increased research emphasis and funding opportunities, and system changes like sustainability and transformation plans present opportunities to enhance research efforts and translate findings into policies and practices.
3) While healthcare systems face financial pressures, there are also burgeoning sources of research funding from industry, charitable organizations, and dedicated government funding that can be leveraged to support research without overburdening health
The document outlines the opportunities and challenges presented by big data in healthcare. It notes that vast amounts of data are now being generated from sources like genome sequencing, electronic health records, social media, and patient websites. However, simply having large datasets does not guarantee value; the data needs to be analyzed and linked together to generate insights. The document discusses four levels of big data applications from processing large volumes of data to complex modeling. It also examines challenges like developing robust governance, embracing new data uses, overcoming data fragmentation, ensuring data quality and standards, developing innovative analytic methods, addressing skills shortages, and achieving returns on investment. The goal is to improve patient outcomes and healthcare cost-effectiveness through big data.
This document discusses moving from current ad-hoc healthcare systems to a national learning health system. It outlines challenges facing healthcare like rising costs and an aging population. Current digital health data is underused. Examples show how data can enable epidemiological research, evaluate policies, and support clinical trials. Bigger efforts are needed to create a prototype national asthma learning health system. This would use various data sources to monitor asthma burden, improve outcomes and reduce deaths. The goal is an integrated system that continuously learns from patient care to drive discovery and improve value.
1. The document discusses creating learning health systems (LHS) that use data to continually improve healthcare delivery and establish a social contract to share data for public benefit.
2. It proposes connected health cities (CHC) pilots in four regions of Northern England to test LHS approaches and share knowledge between regions.
3. The goals are to optimize care delivery using data, engage the public on data sharing, and accelerate digital health business growth in Northern England.
Naja Warrer Iversen's presentation from the Healthcare DENMARK Ambassador SummitHealthcare DENMARK
The document outlines Denmark's new national health strategy, which aims to improve early diagnosis and treatment of diseases. It identifies five priority areas for investment over the next four years, totaling 5 billion kroner. The first priority is to detect cancer earlier through expanded screening and diagnostic testing, with a goal of 75% of cancer patients surviving five years after diagnosis by 2025. The second priority is to detect chronic diseases like diabetes and COPD earlier, through health checks and clearer treatment plans, with a target of reducing emergency admissions for those diseases by 20% by 2025.

11. Mark Kingston- Elevator pitch PRIME 2020angewatkins
1) Ambulance services in the UK saw a significant increase in suspected COVID-19 incidents from February to July 2020, peaking at over 25,000 incidents per month.
2) The percentage of suspected COVID-19 patients conveyed to hospitals by ambulance services ranged from 32% to 54% across different services.
3) Ambulance services implemented new triage processes, recruited additional staff and clinical volunteers, and increased use of video consultations to manage the increased demand from the pandemic while keeping patients out of emergency departments when possible.
The document discusses the impact of advanced paramedic practitioners in primary care in Wales. It found that advanced paramedic practitioners (APPs) were able to relieve pressure on GPs by taking on lower-acuity patient cases, allowing GPs to focus on more complex patients. The APPs gained experience in primary care settings, consulting a wider range of patients and developing better management plans. They also were able to share their primary care learnings with ambulance colleagues. Both primary care clusters and the Welsh Ambulance Service saw benefits to the APP role in primary care.
Improving support for women with musculoskeletal conditions during pregnancy,...angewatkins
The document discusses support needs for women with musculoskeletal conditions during pregnancy, planning for pregnancy, and early parenting. It finds that women with long-term limiting illnesses are more likely to have unplanned pregnancies and negative pregnancy outcomes, and their children are more likely to develop illnesses. While the vast majority adapt well, targeted support with health behaviors could help outcomes. The document also examines challenges for women with chronic pain or autoimmune diseases parenting young children, and calls for more integrated care and information on pregnancy planning and parenting with these conditions.

The document discusses the benefits of meditation for reducing stress and anxiety. Regular meditation practice can help calm the mind and body by lowering heart rate and blood pressure. Making meditation a part of a daily routine, even if just 10-15 minutes per day, can have mental and physical health benefits over time by reducing stress levels and promoting relaxation.
Peter Elwood - The success of the caerphilly cohort studyangewatkins
The Caerphilly Cohort Study has followed over 2,000 middle-aged men in Wales for 35 years, with follow-up examinations every five years. The study has led to over 400 research papers that have shown benefits of a healthy lifestyle like reduced risk of diabetes, heart disease, and dementia. However, uptake of healthy behaviors in Wales remains low, with only 5% following four to five healthy behaviors. The study highlights the potential for reducing disease burden in Wales if individuals adopt even one additional healthy behavior.

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.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
