This document discusses recognition and valuing of volunteers in social care organizations. It notes that being valued is more important to volunteer satisfaction and retention than formal accreditation alone. Volunteers come from various backgrounds and have different motivations for volunteering. The document also provides examples of ways organizations can recognize and thank volunteers, such as through certificates, events, letters, and reviews. Finally, it emphasizes the importance of good volunteer management for a positive volunteering experience.

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.

Microteaching is a unique model of practice teaching. It is a viable instrument for the. desired change in the teaching behavior or the behavior potential which, in specified types of real. classroom situations, tends to facilitate the achievement of specified types of objectives.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

Pulmonary Thromboembolism - etilogy, types, medical- Surgical and nursing man...VarunMahajani
Disruption of blood supply to lung alveoli due to blockage of one or more pulmonary blood vessels is called as Pulmonary thromboembolism. In this presentation we will discuss its causes, types and its management in depth.
2. Key Question:
• Are we talking only about formal accredited
recognition or about valuing volunteers and
their contribution to the work of the
organisation?
• UK experience from a broad range of research
tells us that being valued is what impacts most
on satisfaction and retention of volunteers.
3. One size does not fit all
• Different volunteers: young, older, retired, peers and
service users, people with learning or physical
disabilities
• Different motivations: learn new skills and gain
certificates, giving something back, meet new people
and give structure to their day/week, enjoying the
work
• NHS volunteers from all age groups talked about
feeling better knowing they had been able to help
others.
4. 111 roles for volunteers in health &
social care
• Administration helper/clerical helper
• Artist/Arts & crafts (knitters, blanket maker, art therapist)
• Befriending (in-patients, people in residential care and in
the community)
• Musicians and exercise to music
• Expert patient
• Governance & Trustees
• Hairdresser for In-patient & Day Care units
• Interpreter
• Recruitment & selection of staff
• Support groups for specific health conditions
http://www.volunteering.org.uk/resources/volunteeringinhealth/roles
5. Why volunteer?
• Older volunteers tended to cite helping others as their
primary motivation, and wanting to give something back
• Retired volunteers also talked about wanting to get out
of the house, meet new people and give structure to
their retirement.
• Younger volunteers tended to be more motivated by
career ambitions citing, for example, the need to gain
work experience in a hospital or the opportunity to
improve their English skills.
6. Service users as volunteers
People who have received a lot of health and social care
services volunteer because:
• they want to improve that service for other people in the same
situation
• volunteering provides them with opportunities to develop
themselves and be active citizens rather than passive patients
The overwhelming majority of volunteers who had mental
health problems said that it had helped them to develop:
• confidence and self-esteem a
• social networks and make friends
• skills that were useful in gaining employment
• a sense of purpose after a period of difficulty in life
* The Volunteering for Mental Health survey http://www.volunteering.org.uk/resources/volunteeringinhealth/
7. Case Study: Stepping Up Training
• Younger volunteers in residential care often want a
certificate of hours worked and skills gained for the
Duke of Edinburgh award or to improve their CV –
BUT many carry on volunteering after getting their
certificates because they enjoy it
• Most volunteers interviewed like to be thanked both
by being treated as a key part of the organisation
and through events that celebrate their work
• Some organisations also thank their volunteers
publicly through their local press and radio
http://steppinguptraining.co.uk
8. Case Study: Swindon Mind
• Birthday, Christmas and thank you cards
• Individuals all mentioned in Annual Report
• In-house training
• Monthly volunteer meetings to review what
has gone well, less well and why, discuss new
ideas
• Annual reviews and open door policy all year
• Take them out to dinner, or other social event
9. Recognition for Managers of
Volunteers
• Being well managed is key to having a good
volunteering experience and valuing volunteers is
central to good management
• There are enough common elements to the role of
Managing volunteers to develop common resources
and training programmes
• England and Wales have apprenticeships for
managers of volunteers and the Institute of
Leadership and Management (ILM) has accredited
short courses for them
http://steppinguptraining.co.uk/programmes/level-3-certificate-in-the-management-of-volunteers/
10. Finally, qualifications and good
practice for managers of volunteers
