This document summarizes two community health champion programs in the UK that utilize volunteers to improve health and well-being in their communities. The Altogether Better program in Yorkshire has trained over 13,000-70,000 champions with a budget of £6.8 million, generating social returns of £0.79-£112.42 for every £ spent by empowering communities. The CHC Public Health Wales ABHB pilot program has trained 150 champions across most of Wales excluding Blaenau Gwent with a £30,000 budget, showing anecdotal evidence of impact. Both programs are exploring best practices and how to sustain their work with limited funding.

Working with Personal Health Budgets & Direct Payments
A Personal Health Budget is an amount of money to support a person’s health and wellbeing needs, planned and agreed between the person and their local NHS team.
Personal Budgets are an amount of money councils can allocate to help people who have disability, frailty or vulnerability, get the support they want.
A Direct Payment is the way an individual receives that personal budget if they choose to manage it themselves.
This presentation is from the Art of Social Prescribing event which took place on 17th September 2015 in Liverpool.
This presentation was given by Helen Edwards and Matt Pearce from Gloucestershire CCG.
This one day conference aimed to respond to increasing interest in social prescribing. It presented the latest academic and applied research with particular reference to the role that arts and cultural activities play in social prescribing. A range of workshops that took place introduced a range of established arts and cultural programmes, highlighted good practice approaches in mental health and wellbeing and encouraged debate on how to most effectively commission, fund and evaluate social prescribing schemes.
The conference was delivered in partnership by NEF and academics leading the AHRC-funded Art of Social Prescribing project at Liverpool John Moores University. It is a Making Connections event, part of the Cultural Commissioning Programme, an Arts Council England funded initiative to support commissioners, arts & cultural sector and policymakers with undertaking cultural commissioning to improve public service outcomes. www.ncvo.org/CCProg.

A new model of care for general practice, pop up uni, 10am, 2 september 2015NHS England
Expo is the most significant annual health and social care event in the calendar, uniting more NHS and care leaders, commissioners, clinicians, voluntary sector partners, innovators and media than any other health and care event.
Expo 15 returned to Manchester and was hosted once again by NHS England. Around 5000 people a day from health and care, the voluntary sector, local government, and industry joined together at Manchester Central Convention Centre for two packed days of speakers, workshops, exhibitions and professional development.
This year, Expo was more relevant and engaging than ever before, happening within the first 100 days of the new Government, and almost 12 months after the publication of the NHS Five Year Forward View. It was also a great opportunity to check on and learn from the progress of Greater Manchester as the area prepares to take over a £6 billion devolved health and social care budget, pledging to integrate hospital, community, primary and social care and vastly improve health and well-being.
More information is available online: www.expo.nhs.uk
The presentation was a workshop at Evolve 2014: the annual event for the voluntary sector in London on Monday 16 June 2014.
The presentation was chaired by Shane Brennan, from Age Concern Kingston and looks at the changing context of public service commissioning.

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE.pdfAnujkumaranit
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. It encompasses tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
New Drug Discovery and Development .....NEHA GUPTA
The "New Drug Discovery and Development" process involves the identification, design, testing, and manufacturing of novel pharmaceutical compounds with the aim of introducing new and improved treatments for various medical conditions. This comprehensive endeavor encompasses various stages, including target identification, preclinical studies, clinical trials, regulatory approval, and post-market surveillance. It involves multidisciplinary collaboration among scientists, researchers, clinicians, regulatory experts, and pharmaceutical companies to bring innovative therapies to market and address unmet medical needs.

COMMUNITY HEALTH CHAMPIONS ▪▪▪
• ‘Community Health Champions are people who – with
training and support – voluntarily bring their ability to
relate to people to improve health and well-being in their
communities’ Altogether Better Programme [Yorkshire] 2011

HOW DOES IT WORK? ▪▪▪
• A shared vision aiming to break away from
‘conventional’ approaches to service delivery
• A growing imperative around healthy, vital and
sustainable communities
• A ‘light touch’ sensitive to and responsive to individual
need and circumstances
• A recognition of the appropriateness and power of
word-of-mouth involving peers
• A behaviour change through information, motivation
and belief
• A ‘know-how’ that encourages engagement through the
creation of accessible opportunities to the ‘hard-to-reach’

to kick-start the CHChampions programme…
• Altogether Better is interested (currently) in how PHW

• Each has an understanding of what the other has
achieved… and the Champion momentum continues…
