This document summarizes a discussion around improving healthcare in rural and remote areas. Key points include:
- There is a need to break down silos between healthcare organizations and take a more integrated approach.
- Communities that have successfully controlled local resources can serve as examples to inspire others. Their approaches need to be shared more widely.
- Healthcare must be considered within the broader context of issues like education, housing, and employment opportunities. A holistic approach is needed.
- Both community participation and capturing patient experiences are important for planning and delivering healthcare services.
This document discusses an approach to corporate social responsibility (CSR) proposed by Green Kettle Consulting. It begins by introducing Green Kettle and the trends in CSR, noting that CSR efforts are often ad-hoc and lack integration into business strategies. The document then outlines Green Kettle's approach to sustainable CSR, which involves visioning, strategy development, and delivering CSR programs through products, community efforts, supply chains and employees in a way that creates both social and economic value. Integrating CSR into business in this way can drive culture change within companies and improve CSR program management and communication.
Graham Phillips and Jane Locke are presenting on social investment and social impact bonds. Social investment involves using private money to fund social services and programs with the goal of both financial returns and improved social outcomes.

Green care uses nature-based activities to promote health and well-being. It has a long history dating back to the 13th century where farms and gardens were used to care for those with mental illnesses. While hospital farms declined in the mid-20th century due to new drug treatments, various nature-based therapies have since developed and consolidated, including horticultural therapy, care farming, animal-assisted therapy, and ecotherapy. Green care provides benefits such as social inclusion, structure, identity and attention restoration through experiences with and activities in nature.
The document summarizes background information on healthcare inequalities faced by people with learning disabilities. It then outlines the work of the "Getting it Right" group, which aims to improve healthcare professionals' ability to treat people with learning disabilities. The group is made up of various organizations and produces guidance on communicating effectively with people with learning disabilities and understanding their rights.

The document discusses guidance from the College of Occupational Therapists on the specialist learning disability occupational therapy role. It outlines principles for occupational therapy services for adults with learning disabilities, including that they should provide services related to how a learning disability affects occupational performance. It also discusses current issues like pressure on occupational therapists to provide both minor and major adaptations. Recommendations include developing close working relationships with mainstream services to facilitate access. The document also summarizes new Scottish guidance on equipment and adaptations provision and implications for occupational therapy, including identifying assessors and developing specialist roles in major adaptations.
The document discusses making healthcare more environmentally sustainable. It notes that climate change causes significant harm and economic losses worldwide. The document calls for occupational therapists to help make the NHS carbon footprint smaller by using more sustainable transportation, virtual meetings, and electronic records. Occupational therapists are also encouraged to support service users in environmentally-friendly activities like community gardening, composting, recycling, and using more sustainable modes of transportation.
This document summarizes a workshop on ICT services for people with learning disabilities presented by Chris Austin in Edinburgh, Scotland in September 2010. The workshop aimed to optimize independence, safety, choice, and participation in the community through ICT. It covered what ICT and related services are, including electronic care records, telecare, telehealth, and mobile health and social care. Future possibilities with ICT were discussed, such as integrated shared care records and routine outcomes measurement. The presenter suggested ways attendees could help advance these services through networking, piloting projects, research, and education.
Occupational therapists can help people with learning disabilities and their families in several key ways: (1) They should take a person-centered approach and focus on helping individuals achieve life outcomes like employment, housing, health, and social relationships. (2) Therapists should use their skills to assist people with learning disabilities in getting and participating in a full life. (3) It is important that therapists work to include everyone and remember those who are often excluded.
The document discusses the development of a new screening tool. It describes various professionals collaborating to generate ideas and criteria for personal skills and environmental supports. Draft versions were created and piloted, with feedback indicating it showed strengths and could be useful for therapy and tracking changes. Additional feedback was incorporated and links to occupational therapy theory were explored, with the goal of further development and testing of the screening tool.
Waiting list targets were introduced in the UK to improve access to healthcare services but have unintended consequences. Occupational therapists feel the targets limit the scope of their work and focus more on quantity over quality. A data collection tool is being developed to gather evidence on the impact of waiting list targets on occupational therapy services, such as larger caseloads and pressure to accept more referrals regardless of appropriateness. Feedback will be collected on the draft tool to finalize it for use by occupational therapists.
1) The document discusses how users feel about the appearance of assistive devices and its impact on their occupational participation and independence.
2) The literature review found that acceptance of assistive devices depends on incorporating them into one's self-image of independence rather than disability, and people feel stigmatized by devices that are very visible as disability aids.
3) More thoughtful design of assistive devices that considers both function and form is likely to lead to greater acceptance and increased occupational participation.
The document discusses developing an evidence-based research and development strategy for occupational therapists. It outlines that such a strategy is needed to meet government policy requirements, professional body requirements, and standards for registration. It recommends auditing current skills and interests, gaining support from trust leadership, and developing a strategy that specifies goals, methods, and required resources to improve research skills and conduct practice-based research.
The document outlines a 5-step process for evidence-based practice (EBP) in healthcare: 1) Asking an answerable question, 2) Searching for the best evidence, 3) Critically appraising the evidence, 4) Integrating the evidence with expertise and patient values, and 5) Evaluating performance. It then provides more details on forming answerable clinical questions using the PICO framework and on critically appraising evidence through activities like journal clubs. Journal clubs aim to help practitioners stay up to date on research, evaluate if practice needs to change, and involve interactive discussion of papers using appraisal tools to assess validity and usefulness.
