Evidence and Wellbeing | Local Authority Case StudiesAndrea Edwards
This document discusses four local authority case studies on using evidence to inform decisions related to adult social care, public health, and community planning. It outlines the challenges local authorities face in accessing, applying, and measuring evidence on wellbeing. Key difficulties include lack of time, difficulty generalizing evidence from other areas, and challenges capturing qualitative impacts like improved wellbeing. Public health is seen as using evidence more rigorously, but social care evidence struggles to be heard in health forums. The document also explores ideas for how the What Works Centre for Wellbeing could help by addressing complex issues, publicizing forthcoming evidence, and providing clear guidance on applying evidence in different contexts.
The document outlines the implementation of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy in the United States.

This document summarizes preliminary results from a study measuring the attitudes of journalism and public relations students in Australia towards reporting and communicating about suicide. It found that:
- Journalism students generally aligned well with evidence-based recommendations for reporting on suicide, though alignment was lower on some issues like including location details. Their exposure to guidelines through university varied.
- Public relations students also generally agreed with recommendations, with lower alignment around some issues. Their exposure was also mixed.
- Both groups reported relatively low stigma of suicide and felt university coverage was important, with journalism students having more exposure through courses than public relations students.
The document discusses fostering productive relations between sociology, public health, and local government. It notes that sociology and public health are naturally complementary but also have some stereotypes of each other. The document advocates starting with clear strategic aims and priorities for how sociology and public health can work together, including sociology competencies for public health specialists, joint research, and emphasizing human flourishing. It provides some current and potential examples of collaboration, like masterclasses, research projects, and using sociological skills and perspectives to improve public health practice and policymaking.
Supercharge Crisis Services - Richard McKeon (Natcon15)David Covington
As health care continues to focus on accountability for improved clinical outcomes, usage of lower cost services, improved public safety and a demand for positive client experiences, the importance of crisis services grows. With increasing attention to the value of crisis services, how do we support excellence? Financing, collaborative partnerships, standard operating procedures, current research, use of data and innovative technology are cornerstones of effective intervention delivery for hotlines, mobile teams and crisis stabilization. Come take an in-depth look into the tools and solutions available to quickly build the clinical, administration and financial supports to keep track with the new national focus.
Poor housing negatively impacts the health of millions in the UK and costs the NHS billions each year. The Public Health England (PHE) aims to improve housing and health by developing local capabilities, sharing evidence, and enabling collaboration between professionals. PHE supports analyses of housing and health data, home adaptations, and standards for evaluating housing interventions. Moving forward, PHE will focus on vulnerable groups like children, working age adults, and older people, as well as high pressure points across the life course like hospitals. The goal is to raise awareness and harness partners to manage the health impacts of housing policies and inequalities.

Community Drug program , its succes and challengesKeshavsah8
This document discusses Nepal's Community Drug Program (CDP), its successes and challenges, and its relationship to Nepal's free health care services. It provides background on how CDP was established in Nepal based on models from African countries. CDP aims to ensure year-round availability of essential drugs through community participation and management of revolving drug funds. The document outlines several objectives and successes of CDP, including expanding access to drugs. However, it also notes initial problems and ongoing challenges like drug stock-outs. The implementation of national free health care created debates around how to manage CDP funds. The free services aim to fulfill health rights but face challenges in service provision, quality, and expanding coverage of treatments.
The document outlines the Global Fund's timeline and process for implementing its human rights strategy between 2013-2014. It discusses establishing focal points for human rights, conducting staff training, reviewing programs, and developing guidance.

Population health management aims to improve the health outcomes of an entire population through proactive care. It uses data-driven strategies like segmentation, stratification, and impactability modeling to identify at-risk groups and design targeted interventions. The National Health Service in England is promoting population health management approaches across integrated care systems to help systems better understand health needs and match services accordingly. Primary care networks will assess their local populations and work with communities to support those most at risk of poor health outcomes through proactive approaches.
Presentation from Dr Justin Varney, Director of Public Health, Birmingham City Council at the Suicide Prevention Stakeholder Workshop on 14th May 2019.
We invited experts from the field of public health and dementia to discuss the growing interest in dementia risk reduction and the implications of a new paper launched at the event entitled 'Preventing dementia: a provocation. How can we do more to prevent dementia, save lives and reduce avoidable costs?'
Building on the momentum of the Blackfriars Consensus from Public Health England and the UK Health Forum on “promoting brain health and reducing risks for dementia in the population”, we are keen to stimulate debate and discussion about how we could tackle dementia risk factors at scale and the potential economic, health and societal benefits of dementia risk reduction.
The provocation to be launched on the day posits that we can have a significant impact on reducing the number of people who will develop dementia. The paper identifies a number of risk factors for dementia that are amenable to intervention and have modelled the impact of matching the best-practice interventions on reducing the six main risk factors from global case studies. It is estimated that over the 27-year period from 2013-2040 this could prevent nearly 3 million people developing dementia in the UK. This would reduce the costs to the state in the UK by £42.9 billion (calculated from 2013 and 2040, minus any associated costs of intervention).
We see this paper as a provocation and a starting point for more detailed and rigorous research in this field, and are keen to hear views on further research gaps in this area and other research and policy analysis being carried out.
Speakers included Rebecca Wood (Alzheimer's Research UK), Sally-Marie Bamford (ILC-UK), Phil Hope (Improving Care), Keiran Brett (Improving Care), Shirley Cramer (The Royal Society for Public Health), Dr Charles Alessi (Public Health England), Johan Vos (Alzheimer's Disease International).

The strategic plan outlines Public Health England's vision for the next four years to improve health outcomes and reduce health inequalities by 2020. Key priorities include tackling non-communicable diseases through prevention efforts like reducing tobacco and alcohol use, improving nutrition, and increasing physical activity. Public Health England also aims to address the wider social determinants of health and take a holistic, place-based approach through partnerships across sectors.

This document discusses new care models in the NHS in England. It describes 50 vanguards that were selected to test 5 new models of care, including integrated primary and acute care systems, multispecialty community providers, and enhanced health in care homes. The vanguards aim to improve population health management, person-centered care, and access to services in communities through greater integration and coordination of health and care services. Early results show reductions in hospital admissions and emergency department visits in some of the vanguards.
The document is a suicide prevention action plan for Kawerau that was created through community consultation. It outlines 5 goals for prevention: education and awareness, whānau engagement, accountability, provider collaboration, and communication. For each goal, it lists specific actions to achieve the goal. The plan was developed in response to concerns about suicides in Kawerau to provide a framework for collaborative prevention efforts.
The purpose of this briefing is to help you to identify the immediate priority actions to commission effective end of life care.
Publication by the National End of Life Programme which became part of NHS Improving Quality in May 2013
The document discusses shifting to a prevention-focused approach to public health. It outlines 5 premises: (1) there is an epidemiological crisis with avoidable deaths and chronic disease; (2) policy context supports prevention; (3) clear roles and a nuanced understanding of behavior change are needed; (4) "big wins" include shifting clinical complexity and increasing prevention; (5) prevention efforts should be phased and layered across the lifecourse. Actions taken so far include new weight management and lifestyle services, and increasing health checks. A behavior change pathway is outlined moving from brief interventions to specialist support.

Exploring the potential for using predictive modelling in identifying end of life care needs - 15 February 2013 - National End of Life Care Programme / Whole Systems Partnership
This report, produced in partnership with Whole Systems Partnership, is based on a project which reviewed the literature on predictive modelling, canvassed views and engaged with interested parties to formulate an initial response to the opportunities presented by predictive modelling approaches in identifying people likely to be nearing the end of life.
Predictive modelling involves the interrogation of datasets to inform professional judgement about potential needs. It is hoped that the findings of this report will be used to enable commissioners and providers of services to better understand and meet people's end of life care preferences and wishes, supporting more people to live and die well in their preferred place.

Guidance for commissioners of financially, environmentally, and socially sust...JCP MH
This guide supports commissioners, local health authorities and providers to think broadly, but practically, about building sustainable, resilient communities that have the potential, over time, to reduce mental ill health.
Sustainable commissioning involves making sure services make the most effective use of financial, environmental and social resources. This includes commissioning services that support secondary (reducing relapse) and tertiary (improving rehabilitation) prevention. It is these aspects, rather than primary preventative measures, that are the focus for this guide. The issue of primary prevention is discussed in the Guidance for commissioning public mental health services.
This guide has been written by a group of experts in mental health and sustainability, in consultation with service users and patients, and strengthened by input from a local government and public health perspective. The content is primarily evidence-based but ideas deemed to be best practice by expert consensus have also been included.
By the end of this guide, readers should:
- understand the concept of sustainability in mental health care, and how using this commissioning framework can create sustainable services
- be aware of the legislation relating to sustainability that the NHS is required to meet
- understand what sustainable commissioning looks like in practice
- understand how and why improving the sustainability of mental health interventions will contribute to achieving the aims of both the mental health, public health, NHS, and social care strategies, as well as improving quality and productivity
- be able to commission sustainable mental health services and interventions.

Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.

The benefits of an ePCR solution should extend to the whole EMS organization, not just certain groups of people or certain departments. It should provide more than just a form for entering and a database for storing information. It should also include a workflow of how information is communicated, used and stored across the entire organization.

4.8 Delivery Plan – Suicide Prevention and
Reduction, and Bereavement Support
KPI Ask for STPs/ICSs (regions to support and enable) Resources
Deliver against multi-agency suicide
prevention plans, working towards a
national 10% reduction in suicides by
2020/21. This includes working closely with
mental health providers to ensure plans are
in place for a zero-suicide ambition for
mental health inpatients
…we will put in place suicide bereavement
support for families and staff working in
mental health crisis services in every area of
the country… NHS Long Term Plan
1. Refresh STP-wide multi-agency suicide prevention plans bringing
together local authority-based action plans and wider MH transformation
ensuring robust links across, at a minimum, the core defined partners in
public health, primary care and secondary care (and wider agencies).
2. Work to progress against these plans including where possible locally
set trajectories for reduction of STP suicide rate and reduction of mental
health inpatient suicides to zero. If receiving additional funds in 2019/20,
use in line with allocation plans.
3. As part of the Long Term Plan, undertake preparation work to mobilise
new or expanded bereavement support services. This means working
closely with partners to ensure:
• Local real time surveillance in place or under development, with
alternatives in place, such as “real time referral” that allows a
proactive response and contact with a family within 72 hours;
• Undertaking work to ensure strong multi-agency working and plans
are in plan (as per actions above);
• Local mapping of existing, proactive Suicide Bereavement
Services; and of the existing range of local health and voluntary
sector partners for referral of practical and emotional support; and
• Identifying key contacts who can provide strong, experienced
leadership.

experienced extreme trauma and are at heightened risk of crisis
themselves, which will be rolled out to all areas of the country
